[Insight-users] suggestions for ITK-based projects for a graduate image analysis class?

Wed Sep 26 14:29:56 EDT 2012

Hi Arnaud, 

I'm glad to hear back from you. Thanks for the intro to Dr Zhu's implementation; it reminds me of some of Dr Gilles topological operators. 

Getting back to the original discussion... can you comment on how much of the Level Sets implementation integrates statistical shape priors in the manner presented by Daniel Cremers? 

Cheers, 

Michel

Note that the sqrt 3 subdivision has already been implemented and
submitted to an insight journal by wanlin zhu. He has also extended his
work to deal with adaptive subdivision.

The code is in really good shape and could be integrated in ITK quite
quickly.

my 2cts,
Arnaud

I can tell you that I have an on-going collaboration that is looking at reimplementing the ITK Simplex implementation, and it may be of interest to use code that does multi-surface, in the manner suggested by Dr Gilles.

This class is based on the Toennies textbook from 2012, and will feature a number of registration and segmentation techniques, including graph cuts and level sets, as well as meshing methods not in the textbook. These projects will be for two students on which to collaborate, typically.
