ITK Modularization Residuals

• Check the TODO list file

• • • Enabling Examples (DONE)
    • Doxygen documentation (DONE)
    • KWStyle configuration (DONE)
  • http://kwsource.kitwarein.com/itk/itk/blobs/master/TODO-Modularization.txt
    • Installation ?
    • Wiki Documentation

• Use Cases

Dashboard

Monolithic Dashboard

• Dashboard Status - Today's Dashboard

Modular Dashboard

• http://www.cdash.org/CDash/index.php?project=ITKModular

Comments from Lorensen: Unfortunately, I am on travel today and cannot attend the t-con. My initial impression of the itk modular dashboard is that is not in a form that is usable for ITK at this time. The navigation is cumbersome and it is difficult to use on a day-to-day basis. I hope we can have more discussion about this. My recommendation is try it out for a week, evaluate the usability and identify the missing features. Then, revert all submissions to the non-modular dashboard and wait for a new cdash release.

OPENJPEG Dashboard

• http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=OPENJPEG

Valgrind Errors

• Related to the new itkTestDriver

FastMarching Refactoring

• Backward Compatibility
  • Should we move v3 classes into Deprecated?
  • Should we fix everything that currently depends on FastMarching? (Although, we are in the process of refactoring the level sets)
• Preferred class name?
• http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1328

Refactoring Workflow

• Right now
  • code is developed on other remote
  • once the code is mature, we submit to gerrit
  • lost history
  • refactoring may appear as single commit from one person (not team spirit oriented)
• Any other solution?

ImageRegionDuplicator

• The goal is to accelerate image region to region coping where possible
• memcpy vs std:copy
• http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1277

Schedule

ITKv4 A06

• Transition Plan
  • Tag done

ITKv4 A07

• Let's tag now
• The changes after modularization are enormous and we don't have a tag that marks the repository past the events
• Many other changes are getting into the repository, and the diff between A07 and A06 is not longer: just modularization.

Teaching ITK

• ITK Boot Camp : Houston : September 2011
• ITK in image processing course : Houston : Fall 2011
• ITK in biomedical imaging course : Houston : Spring 2012

Open Science Training

• Reproducible Research Training Camp : TBD
• Open Sourcing your Lab Training Camp : TBD

Image Interpretation Layer

• ODP
• PDF

Database Interface

• https://github.com/luisibanez/LargeImageDatabaseITKIO
• Can this be combined with DICOM ?
• How about Video ?
• Can it be useful with HDF5 IO too? http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,1401

DICOM

• NO TCONF TODAY
• Next week: Tcon at 11am EST, Friday (after the ITK tcon)

 Toll-Free #:      1-800-704-9804 
 International #:  1-404-920-6604
 Participant Code: 61466276

• additional buildhost with merged gdcm and gdcm warning ON been added
• a gdcm fork has been made in github and will be tested against itk using systems_gdcm
  • this will allow easier integration, memory of the changes, and to send back modification to gdcm proper.

Gerrit Reviews

• http://review.source.kitware.com/#q,status:open,n,z

Orfeo Toolbox Integration

• Had tcon with the OTB team
• Discussed registration of ImageIO factories in OTB
• Reviewed the patch for supporting images of std::complex
• Need to schedule call with Microscopy, Video and Remote Sensing groups to design a common "image interpretation layer"

SimpleITK

• Doxygen: http://erie.nlm.nih.gov/~blowek1/SimpleITK/index.html
• Github: https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK
• sitk::Image now using Copy on Write
  • Filter pass and return Image's as non-pointer Images
• Succeeded to connect SimpleITK image buffers to Java arrays.
• Started to create SimpleITK plugins for ICY
  • http://www.bioimageanalysis.org/icy/

ITK FEM

ITK FEM Modifications

Doxygen

• what about enabling the "edit comments" to submit patches to gerrit? see documented class

• scripts
  • scripts to add the module for each class in the doxygen documentation?
  • scripts to add (automatically) links to wiki example in the doxygen documentation?
  • scripts to add examples/tests to doxygen documentation (for each class, whenever it is relevant)?
