Tasks for release 4.0

High priority items

  • Image reslice: Andinet/Matt/Norway/Patrick
  • Synchronization & event dispatcher: Andinet/Matt/Norway
  • Video grabber: Norway with testing by others
    1. Calibration and windows code (directshow) from Canada/Purang
  • Generic image reader: Luis/Patrick
    1. Has draft class in the sandbox
  • Open IGTlink: also under NAMIC funding: Georgetown (Kevin Gary / student may participate later)
  • Coordinate system visualization: Matt / Kevin Gary
  • Tracker
    1. Ascension tracker: Patrick/Ziv/Julien/Ascension
    2. Optotrak: hold off for now
    3. Microscribe: student project
    4. Micron advance feature
      • Work with Claron
      • Andinet to make change for loading template file to be consistent with using SROM file
  • Consistent error handling hierarchy: Matt/Luis
    1. Survey how many events we have
    2. Put Doxygen comments on them as suggested by Luis
    3. We can use KWStyle to check documentation completeness
    4. The goal is to create a better event hierarchy, provide necessary documentation, and define a set of guidelines for using event
    5. Should produce a wiki page on the event hierarchy, how to handle those events, and guidelines for creating new events

Other tasks

  1. Switch to CDash. Julien
  2. CD Release. Andinet
  3. Change sandbox build system. Andinet
  4. Testing IGSTK Installation using CPack. Andinet
  5. Supporting affine transform?
  6. Image overlay
    • Related to reslicing, blend the resliced image
  7. Composite tracker tool
  8. Update the book (not this year)
  9. DICOM WG 24

Student project list

  1. Hybrid tracking
  2. Geometrical model of surgical tool
  3. Microscribe mechanic arm tracker

Brain Storming

Relicing

Need to have more discussion on this, here is the high level API we have agreed on 

RequestSetImageSpatialObject( imageSpatialObject );              // change 'Set' to 'Add' if there are multiple inputs
RequestSetTrackerTool( trackerTool );                            // probably should use SpatialObject instead, in case of using virtual tip
RequestSetOrthogonalSlicing( 'Axial', 'Sagittal', or 'Coronal' );// Radiology convention
RequestSetObliqueSlicing( 'Axial', 'Sagittal', or 'Coronal' );   // Here the notion of Axial, Sagittal, and Coronal is defined by tracker tool's transform
RequestSetSize&Spacing ( size, spacing );                        // When doing oblique reslicing

Remaining questions

  1. Sync view with reslice --> how to position camera
  2. How to do image overlay (multiple inputs in the reslice class VS a helper class do the blending on the outputs of several reslicer)
  3. API should also be able to accommodate 5D tools
    • In case of 5D, we need to supply extra information
      1. a given axis of the image volume(for off-axial, off-sagittal views)
      2. up vector (for endoscope fly through view)
      3. Planned path (for targeting projection view)
  4. Advanced feature: Surgeon view point tracking

Error handling

  1. Current error handling can not deal with the concurrent issue need to have more discussion on this
  2. At this point we will need to clean up the event hierarchy, provide better documentation, and guidelines
