Agenda and Notes for 05 Aug 2008 Shape Tools meeting

prev. weeks to do

• CS - Surf Stat modifications
• CS - review Voxel/World mapping interface
• CS - computer upgrade request for Ryan.
• CS - restore all remaining SVN projects.
• BC - finish transferring files from old computer to new one.
• BC - separate Voxel/world mapper into a separate library
• BC - add batch file capability to ShapeReporter
• BC - Fix bug in shape tools core triangulation code (called from ShapeReporter)
• RC - cortical surface generation pipeline
• RC - Contour Matching port

Discussed

• Surface Extraction status
  • Boris's remeshing code - priority of getting it fixed uncertain. T.B.D. tomorrow
• SurfStat status,
  • what output formats are needed ?
  • X11 used for output, may be accessible via VPN to cranium...
• Software download status :
  • ShapeTools ok, needs new issue
  • Shape tools apps
• Cortical surface calculation
  • current code runs only on inire
  • priority of quick fix T.B.D. tomorrow
  • correct way to do this is to convolve a sphere with an image volume containing surface thicknesses.
    • may require more memory than computers typically have
    • the FFTW package may have a useful 3D-FFT implementation
    • Gaussian averaging can be separated into each dimension.
• Software Downloads
  • we need to maximize the number of available tools
  • They may soon be other ways for use to do software releases.
  • packages suitable for rapid completion of documentation (for Software download)
    • Landmark warp tools
    • Regular discrete data tools
  • packages unsuitable for rapid completion of documentation
    • MultigridPDESolver (creating useful examples will take too long.)

To do for Next meeting

• CS - Send ShapeTools web links to Mona
• CS - Create a ShapeTools library binary software download bundle (including Matlab classpath fix)
• CS - Create a ShapeTools apps software download bundle.
• CS - Create a LandmarkWarp tools software download bundle (due 8/8).
• CS - Create a RegularDiscreteData tools software download bundle (due 8/8).
• CS - Create a Warp Tools source code software download bundle (due 8/8).
• CS - restore all remaining SVN projects (due 8/8)
• CS - get Ryan's computer updated.
• CS - (with Ryan) code review of Contour Matching software.
• CS - get SurfStat visualization (via X11) working

• RC - Create documentation and software download descriptions for (due 8/7):
  • LandmarkWarp tools
  • RegularDiscreteData tools
  • Warp Tools source code.
• RC - investigate use of! FFTw package
• RC - investigate alteranatives to convolution with a sphere(e.g. gaussian blur,...)
• RC - Revise InflateSurface to avoid display bug.

• BC - Become a Parent.

Unscheduled

• CS - get BC's computer printing.
• CS - Integrate & release ColorSurface tool
• CS - ShapeViewer plugin research
• CS - shape io gzip reader bug fix.
• CS - revise all ShapeToolsIO writers to use DataWriter classes
• CS - port Shantanu's dynamic solver code to Java
• CS, RC - complete handout matching current warp protocol applications with older protocol applications.
• BC - add a table edit mode to the color map control point dialog (shows control point values in editable spreadsheet).
• RC - software download descriptions MultiGridPDE libary (do after Aug 14 meeting)
• N/A - RGB to LAB color model interconversion. tool
• N/A - create C/Java ShapeIO^? interface (eval. Swig, JNI for this purpose)
