2. Access to developer's list
3. Collaboration with Trondheim group (Frank)
   • VideoGrabberComp and DesignChallenges
   • VideoGrabber Development Schedule
4. Slicer-IGSTK integration (Noby/PC)
   1. We successfully integragted IGSTK in Slicer. We can now show our feasibility with Polaris.
   2. The integrated Slicer-IGSTK is now distributed thourgh the SVN of Slicer 3. The users can download the source codes (both Slicer and IGSTK) and compile them together by one line of command.
   3. A sample module is included in the Slicer.
   4. Danielle Pace, a summer student, from Terry Peters' lab to SPL, will work on network extension of IGSTK.
   • http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Slicer-IGT
5. JDI open source supplement Outline (AE)
6. Ascension tracker capabilities, single tool? (ZY)
7. Be careful with Qt files in IGSTK source code directory.
   • Do not edit the file, if you don't have commercial Qt license
8. Dashboard is going down. Lots of style errors
   • Dashboard
   • Sandbox Style
   • IGSTK Style
9. Technical topics

Review Action Items

1. [DONE] Start a View redesign page (Andinet)
2. [DONE] Put a ImageSliceRepresentation design page on wiki, and check in the code (Patrick)
3. Test Assension tracker (Julien)
4. [DONE] Work out a draft schedule for VideoComponent, and resources and support needed for this project. VideoGrabber Development Schedule (Frank)
5. [DONE] Log a bug requirement for using tracker tool as reference (Patrick)
6. ObjectRepresentation visibility (Luis)
7. [DONE] Buy Qt license (Patrick)
8. [DONE] Remove namespace and inheritance in applications (Patrick): Bug 4918

   Issues found:

   • Can not use smart pointer, if not inherited from igstkObject
   • Some igstk macros won't work without using igstk namespace. For instance: igstkLoadedEventTransductionMacro( event, input, payload)
   • It does not work even if you use the namespace explicitly, you have to add the following line in the code:
     using namespace igstk;
9. Add an example page on wiki on how to use different trackers (Ziv/Patrick)
10. MicronTracker (David)

Technical Topics

1. View class refactorying (AE) design page
   • access to camera
   • support for Qt View
2. Image representation class refactorying: design page & discussion page (PC)
   • Supporting both orthogonal slicing and oblique slicing (especially off-axial, off-sagittal, perpendicular view)
   • Should be attachable to a probe (will automatically reslice according to probe position and orientation)
3. Orientation Registration: design page (Jayson)
   • Need to expose TrackerTool class, instead of using Port and Chanel (this concept exists only in Aurora)
   • Need a method to compose multiple tracker tool into a single one. Using two 5D sensors to define a 6D tool.
   • Need to change the way Tracker class uses reference tool. Pass a TrackerTool object to it, instead of using port and chanel

Dashboard Status
