Background

This page hosts discussions on how to integrate functionalities of ITK with R language (http://www.r-project.org/)


A reference for this effort is the integration of R in the Titan package (based on VTK).

Use Cases

  • Statistical Segmentation of Images
    • Multi-modality segmentation
  • Statistical Analysis of features extracted from images
    • Group registration
    • Atlas based segmentation

Suggested Implementations

Data Bridge

Making some ITK data structures visible from R by converting or adapting them to R vectors. And conversely, adapting R vectors into ITK data structures.

Candidate ITK classes

  • itk::FixedArray (and derived classes)
    • itk::Point
    • itk::Vector
    • itk::Index
    • itk::Offset
    • itk::CovariantVector
    • itk::RGBPixel
    • itk::RGBAPixel
  • itk::VariableLenghtVector
  • itk::Matrix
  • itk::Containers
    • itk::VectorContainer
    • itk::MapContainer
  • itk::Image
    • itk::PixelContainer
  • itk::Sample
  • itk::KdTree

Candidate STL classes

  • STL Containers
    • std::list
    • std::queue
    • std::map
    • std::set


Wrapping (WrapITK)

Adapting the wrapping process of WrapITK in order to expose ITK functionalities from R.
