LONI Pipeline Meetings - Spring 2006 - 03/14/06

4:00 PM, T-Room

GOAL

• Implement one ITK Segmentation and one ITK Registration Pipeline modules in V.3 and Demo these on Mon 03/20/06.

Specifications

• ITK Registration: (please recall that this will require two modules: warping and reslicing!) Read Section 8.4, page 255, (http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf) where the Mutual Information metrics are described. Examples on multimodality registration are available in Insight/Examples/Registration. A demo application using Mutual Information is available under InsightApplications/LandmarkInitializedMutualInformationRegistration. Please read the chapter on image resampling before you get involved with image registration methods. That will save you some problems. Windowed Sync interpolation is always preferred (see p.444, http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf).
• ITK Segmentation: See p. 535, http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf. Choose one of:
  • Watersheds: p. 556, Examples/Segmentation/WatershedSegmentation1.cxx, or
  • Level-sets, p. 563, Figure 9.16 and 9.17. Examples/Segmentation/FastMarchingImageFilter.cxx or Examples/Segmentation/ShapeDetectionLevelSetFilter.cxx,
• Note by Alex: pages and references described above do not match!
