Message-ID: <CALzTN-RZohzHz8qhBFSixfYoYUqFb7zEGnUXVN-qYqtcxcpeJw@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings,

We are putting together another proposal for ITK to be a Google Summer
Of Code organization. If ITK is accepted, Google will fund summer
interns to work with on ITK related topics, with help from some of us
as volunteer mentors.

We have until next Friday February 20th to come up with a list of
mentors and proposed topic ideas. As a mentor there is a significant
time commitment, but it can also be very rewarding and it is a great
way to get students involved in open source over the summer.

If you are willing to mentor and have ideas for topics, please fill in
a section or two of

  http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK_Google_Summer_of_Code/2015

Message-ID: <CALzTN-RySCpYj4_AdUJcYGXT9KhgfHKS+cfs5nHrGxAcGNTXuQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We will be soon be updating our Gerrit instance [1] to support GitHub
/ OAuth authentication instead of the OpenID based authentication,
which is no longer supported.

Account migration will occur by matching your currently registered
Gerrit email with an email registered on your GitHub account.
However, if you have multiple Gerrit accounts that match GitHub
emails, ambiguity occurs. Only one of the Gerrit  accounts can use
GitHub / OAuth authentication.

Please log into Gerrit [1] and ensure that the email address
associated with your GitHub account is registered, and is only
registered, with your desired Gerrit account.

Login -> Settings -> Identities


Select any email addresses that need to be deleted with the checkbox,
and hit the ?Delete? button.  Once deleted, the checkbox will no
longer be available.


Thanks,
Matt

Message-ID: <CALzTN-SV70M5q=rZPFcCWCBudm9siRoEGCvvdFd1Kd0t_OrdGg@mail.gmail.com>

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit Community, we are happy to announce the
release of ITK 4.7.1!

This is a patch release that addresses critical issues, regressions,
important documentation, and compiler support. The 4.7.1 release fixes
improves Visual Studio support, addresses Python wrapping runtime warnings,
includes fixes for the ITK Software Guide, and addresses a few
miscellaneous bugs.

Changes were added to improve support for Visual Studio 2013, the
ITKVtkGlue module with Visual Studio, and for the upcoming Visual Studio
2015 release. Visual Studio 2013 (Professional and Community Editions)
generated faulty code when compiled for Intel Win64 with SSE2 instructions
in Release mode and/or when ITK_USE_64BITS_IDS was ON (Microsoft Visual
Studio Bug ID 1060166
<http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/1060166>and
1093610
<http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/1093610>).
Workarounds were made to ITK?s code and the issues were reported to
upstream Visual Studio, who have addressed the bugs in Visual Studio 2015.

Common WrapITK Python runtime warnings have all been addressed.

Fixes and style changes were made for the hardcopy of the The ITK Software
Guide, which is now available at:

 http://www.itk.org/ITK/help/book.html


Congratulations and thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.
Questions and comments are welcome on the ITK mailing lists.

Release files can be downloaded from:

 http://itk.org/ITK/resources/software.html

The next feature release of 4.8.0 is scheduled for June.

Message-ID: <FFB3B5F4-27F6-46B2-943D-412891FE655A@mail.nih.gov>

We are pleased to announce the SimpleITK 0.9 beta 1!

NOW WITH REGISTRATION

We encourage the community to use and test this registration interface and to provide feedback on the design and features.

This beta features the ImageRegistrationMethod which brings a SimpleITK style interface to the modular ITKv4 registration framework. This adds support for a variety of transforms including affine, b-spline, and deformation fields. The metrics supported include correlation, means squares, ANTS neighborhood correlation, and mutual information. A variety of optimizers are available along with scales estimators for the optimized transformation parameters and built in multi-scale registration support. http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/classitk_1_1simple_1_1ImageRegistrationMethod.html

Additionally, a number of registration filters have been added: DemonsRegistrationFilter, DiffeomorphicDemonsRegistrationFilter, FastSymmetricForcesDemonsRegistrationFilter, LevelSetMotionRegistrationFilter and SymmetricForcesDemonsRegistrationFilter.
Several examples can be found in the examples directory to help you get started. These examples include Affine registration, BSpline, Demons and Displacement fields. http://www.itk.org/SimpleITKDoxygen/html/examples.html

We have also added the following filters: AdditiveGaussianNoiseImageFilter, AggregateLabelMapFilter, BinaryImageToLabelMapFilter, ChangeLabelLabelMapFilter, CollidingFrontsImageFilter, DisplacementFieldJacobianDeterminantFilter, FastMarchingBaseImageFilter, FastMarchingUpwindGradientImageFilter, InverseDisplacementFieldImageFilter, InvertDisplacementFieldImageFilter, LabelImageToLabelMapFilter, LabelShapeStatisticsImageFilter, LabelStatisticsImageFilter, LabelUniqueLabelMapFilter, MergeLabelMapFilter, RelabelLabelMapFilter, SaltAndPepperNoiseImageFilter, ShotNoiseImageFilter, SpeckleNoiseImageFilter and TransformToDisplacementFieldFilter

Note: We have run into a limitation with Visual Studio that prevents successful building and packaging for Windows 64. This will be addressed before the final release. Please try the 32-bit Windows version for smaller images.

Before the final release we will work on improving testing, adding more examples and documentation, and fixing bugs. We believe the beta is feature complete for doing registration work, but are open to critical features reported from the community.


You will need to manually download the beta binaries, then explicitly install the downloaded beta file.

Information on how to get started and download the binaries: http://www.itk.org/Wiki/SimpleITK/GettingStarted#Binaries

Binary distributions for many platforms and languages are available for downloading: https://sourceforge.net/projects/simpleitk/files/SimpleITK/0.9b01/

Subject: [ITK-dev] Let the NLM know that ITK is important to you and your
	research
Message-ID: <CALcsBJLtOmOsx_+VOYpChmttGngxnYGbOyGHL-nADbc+wzkFJw@mail.gmail.com>

The NLM is requesting input on the value and future needs of its programs,
including the Insight Toolkit (ITK).   Please use the link below to share
your thoughts and experiences with ITK.  Let the NLM know that impact that
ITK is having!

Some thoughts on ITK:  ITK was originated at the NLM in 1999, and now ITK
is used in thousands of academic and commercial applications.  It has
become the foundation for the exchange of algorithms and ideas in medical
image analysis.  It has accelerated the pace of research by reducing
duplication and enabling new research to build upon and to be compared with
the state of the art.  It has propelled academic research into commercial
reality and patient care through its open-source licensing and high
software standards.  It has served as an educational tool for thousands of
students in engineering and science. The continued support and expansion of
ITK should be given top priority at the NLM.

For more information on the NLM's request-for-information regarding the
impact and future of its projects and programs, go to
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-067.html

To submit a response using the NLM's online form, go to

Subject: [ITK-dev] itk::DynamicCast<>() and itk::ConstCast<>() working with

Message-ID: <CAEQLYQem7S__z=3d8eTvdcXir-hPj3Ebc25sguT90GZXK-4fag@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I wrote dynamic_cast<>() and const_cast<>() like operators to work with
itk::SmartPointer<> for the OTB/Monteverdi2 project.

I think they could be contributed to ITK (for example in the
itkSmartPointer.h header file).

You will find enclosed a itkCasts.h file with the source code of these
operators. This file is an extract from:
http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/Monteverdi2/file/df0184bc51a3/Code/Common/Core/mvdTypes.h#l63
.

Best regards,

St?phane

Hello Stephane,

Thank you for considering contributing this upstream.

So your suggestions to change:

dynamic_cast<SomeOtherType*>(smartPointer.GetPointer())

to

itk::DynamicCast<SomeOtherType>(smartPointer)


While this may save a few characters on a line I am not sure it is worth the trouble. 



Also the declaration of ConstCast could use some additional consideration. You may only want one template parameter, there T1 and T2 are always the same. The const_cast operator does not do any other type conversion other than changing the const qualifier or volatile, so this template parameter change would help to enforce that.
 

Brad
