Modularization
- Easier to find what you are looking for.
- Easier to understand how to use the toolkit.
- Build only the parts of the toolkit that you need.
- Extend bridging of the toolkit to other toolkit and libraries.
- Makes it easy to associate and build auxiliary community projects with an External module.
- Find the quality control per module by performing code coverage tests per module.
New Finite Element Registration framework
- Better conformity with the rest of the toolkit
- Improved IO of objects and results
New Registration Framework
- Automatic optimization parameter scale estimation
- Composite transform
- Displacement field transform
- Better integration of dense displacement field registration into the framework
- Better support for multi-threading
- Additional evolutionary optimizers
- Different B-Spline registration approach available
- Transform symmetric second rank tensors
New LevelSets Segmentation Framework
- Powerful, modular architecture
- Now you, too, can fully understand how level sets are implemented!
- Easy to extend and customize
- Simultaneously evolve multiple levels on an image
- Faster
- Limit evolution to a domain
- Three different sparse representations available, Whitaker, Shi, Malcolm
- Design avoids duplication of calculations in many ways
- Easy conversion from BinaryMask or LabelMap to a level set.
SimpleITK
- Easy to use
- Rapid development
- Interactive processing
Software Process
- Fast, distributed, powerful version control: Git
- Better support for making contributions
- Low barrier to entry
- Well defined contribution process
- Use powerful tools, Git branches, Gerrit reviews
- Get code into the toolkit quicker
- Get higher quality code in with more reviews and platform testing
- Forget SETI@home, give the aliens a reason to visit by improving ITK with CDash@home!
- Know when/if your bug will be addressed with the scrum process in the JIRA issue tracker
