  • Extending ITK Level Set framework to multi-component images
    • Region Competition
    • Multi-Phase Level Sets
• ImageIO support for GUI
  • ImageIO API for GUI Support PROPOSAL PAGE
  • ImageIO classes should report
    • The extensions that they support
    • A description for each extension
    • A generic name for the file format ?
    • Currently the ImageIO classes have methods
      • ArrayOfExtensionsType GetSupportedWriteExtensions() const
      • ArrayOfExtensionsType GetSupportedReadExtensions() const
      • void AddSupportedWriteExtension( const char * extension )
      • void AddSupportedReadExtension( const char * extension )
  • Questions
    • How to deal with Analyze and Nifti
    • How to deal with DICOM
      1. There no specific extension required
      2. Even if file extension is .dcm, it can contains 2D, 3D, RTSTRUCT (=2d polydata) or results of segmentation (possibly 3D tetras)
  • Proposals
    • Proposal 1
      • Change the GetSupportedWriteExtensions() and GetSupportedReadExtensions() to return an array of pairs (extension, description)
      • Add a method to return a generic description of the ImageIO (e.g. NIFTI, Analyze, MetaImage)
    • Proposal 2
      • Change the GetSupportedWriteExtensions() and GetSupportedReadExtensions() to return an array of triplets (extension, description,generic description)
