It is a pleasure to announce the revamping of the Biomechanical ToolKit project by the Moveck company.

The Matlab and Python bindings of BTK will be available freely as Bridge. To simplify the usage of the bindings, the proposed API will correspond to the same as the Matlab one.

The Python API will be a mirror of the Matlab API but for Python 3.x! This will be way simpler than the usage of the C++ API into Python.

  • The new documentation will be hosted on the website of Moveck.
  • Apple Silicon processors will be supported.
  • Some known fixes will be corrected (e.g., non-ASCII characters in filenames).
  • New functions will be available (e.g., btkGetRotations to get access to rotation matrices stored in some C3D files).

Bridge and Explore are designed for effortless handling of massive data processing. It complements applications like Pipe and Cleanse, all created to meet the demand for quick and efficient data management.
