Hello,
A new submission has been added to the Insight Journal.

Title: Conformal Flattening ITK Filter
Author(s): Gao, Yi; Melonakos, John; Tannenbaum, Allen
Abstract: 
This paper describes the Insight Toolkit (ITK) Conformal Flattening filter: itkConformalFlatteningFilter.
This ITK filter is an implementation of a paper by Sigurd Angenent, et al., “On the Laplace-Beltrami
Operator and Brain Surface Flattening”. This filter performs an angle preserving map of any genus
zero (i.e. no handles) triangulated mesh to the sphere or, alternatively, to the plane. In other words,
any given triangle in the resulting sphere will have the same angles as the corresponding triangle in the
original mesh, though their areas may differ. In this paper, we describe our code and provide the user
with enough details to reproduce the results which we present in this paper. This filter has a variety of
applications including the flattening of brain surfaces, which was the initial motivation for this work.
