[Rtk-users] Release of RTK v1.0.0

[Simon Rit]

Dear RTK users,
It is my pleasure to announce the release of RTK v1.0.0. As announced
previously on the mailing list, the new release is no more compatible with
ITK 3.20, this release is compatible with ITK v4.2.0 and more recent
releases. We are still actively developing RTK with both new filtered
backprojection and iterative algorithms so I still encourage the use of git
to be up-to-date. As usual, please report any issue that you encounter with
RTK, we are happy to help when we can. Note the list of publications using
RTK <http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/project/publications.php> on the main site:
please send me the DOI of your articles if you want them to appear there.
We have also added a webpage with use
cases<http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/project/casestudies.html>
.
I'm looking forward to your feedback. Regards,
Simon

Release notes:
- introduction of the itk::CudaImage object that better handles the memory
transfers between the CPU and the GPU
- pre-processing for projection images: binning, median filter,
lookup-table filter
- filtered backprojection with offset center-of-rotation based on [Gullberg
et al, TMI, 1986]
- improved Joseph forward projector and implementation of its exact adjoint
- improved SART reconstruction [Andersen, Ultrason Imaging, 1984]
- new iterative 3D reconstruction using conjugate gradient optimization
- new iterative 3D reconstruction with 3D TV regularization using the
Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers combined with the Augmented
Lagrangian method

Documentation:
- improved Doxygen with dot graphs to describe mini-pipelines, e.g.,
in the SART
page<http://www.openrtk.org/Doxygen/classrtk_1_1SARTConeBeamReconstructionFilter.html>
- updated consortium
<http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/project/consortium.html>and alternative
platforms <http://www.openrtk.org/RTK/resources/alternatives.html> pages
- updated wiki
