It is the software developed namely SynchroGrab4D, in the last few weeks, i have also contacted with David Gobbi, who are one of the author/developer for this software. The reason why i give up to implement this SynchroGrab4D, is because they are not using any video grabber/frame grabber, they using Ultrasonix (PC based ultrasound machine) so that they can have direct access of the computer memory to get the recording images. All the coding in this software are mixed with Ultrasonix coding. So, if i am not using this ultrasound machine, i cannot build the application successfully. I have tried to comment out the related coding from Ultrasonix, but it seems like far more complicated as i thought.<br>However, this is the only example
coding/software that are available online and related to vtkNDITracker, i could not find any more others examples, as more people working on tracking devices with IGSTK only, rather than VTK. <br>Please correct me, if i am mistake.<br><br>Lai<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Patrick Cheng <cheng@isis.georgetown.edu><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> l khinwee <khinwee@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> igstk-users@public.kitware.com<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Fri, February 25, 2011 10:56:23 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [IGSTK-Users] IGSTK: Polaris and recorded images synchronization<br></font><br>
