Discussions:

• Concept Checking

• MetaImage
  • Does Backward compatibility apply to Utilities ?
  • Asymmetrical decision between ITK and VTK
  • Jim suggests to enumerate the use cases of Meta when used outside ITK API
• Writing DICOM series from non-DICOM source
  • Use ITK standard MetaData tags ?
  • Use virtual methods in the ImageIO ?
  • Expand the set of tags to the MetaDataDictionary ?
  • Move the METADATA tags from Analyze into a centralized place ?
• Gradient computation / Local / Physical

Action Items:

• Writing DICOM series from non-DICOM source
  • Try first to communicate using ITK tags through the MetaDataDictionary (Luis)
  • Use form Code/IO/itkIOCommon.cxx the tags
    • ITK_Origin
    • ITK_CoordinateOrientation
    • ITK_Spacing (add this one)
• Gradient computation / Local / Physical
  • Add a filter for converting Gradients from Local to Physical frame
    • With flag that indicates whether to convert from/to Index/Local/Physical
  • Add a filter for converting Hessians from Local to Physical frame
    • With flag that indicates whether to convert from/to Index/Local/Physical
  • State that all gradient/derivative computations are done in Local space (?)
