** What is ITK
** What is ITK: The Insight Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source, cross-platform system that provides developers with an extensive suite of software tools for image analysis. Developed through extreme programming methodologies over the past 10+ years, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multi-dimensional data.

Survey Questions

Questions

  • Opening Statement
    • What is ITK: The Insight Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source, cross-platform system that provides developers with an extensive suite of software tools for image analysis. Developed through extreme programming methodologies over the past 10+ years, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multi-dimensional data. See http://www.itk.org for more details.
    • Why SimpleITK: The Insight community wants to make the toolkit easier to learn and use. With this in mind a working group has been formed to create "SimpleITK": a layer of abstraction around core ITK functionality accessible from your favorite programming/scripting language(s).
    • Why we need you to answer these questions: Please answer the following survey to help make SimpleITK what you -- and other professionals -- really need.
  • Introductory questions
    • In what domain do you work? (eg. radiology, surgery, astronomy, manufacturing)
    • Have you previously used ITK? yes/no. If yes, for how many years?

      • Customize registration options (metric, optimizer, interpolation...)
    • What functions of ITK are you most interested in?
      • Registration (deformable, image-to-image, model-to-image)
      • Segmentation (level sets, etc...)
      • Convert images
      • Simple image manipulation (filtering)
    • What programming style do you prefer
      • procedural [simple Gaussian filter example]
      • object oriented
