Background
This page hosts discussions on how to integrate functionalities of ITK with R language (http://www.r-project.org/)
A reference for this effort is the integration of R in the Titan package (based on VTK).

Use Cases
- Statistical Segmentation of Images
- Multi-modality segmentation
- Statistical Analysis of features extracted from images
- Group registration
- Atlas based segmentation
- Segmentation of Images/Volumes using ITK
- Multi-dimensional array(s) pre-existing in R
- Results are passed back into R
- Visualization of results in ITK (through R?)
- Registration of Images/Volumes using ITK
- Multi-dimensional array(s) pre-existing in R
- Results are passed back into R
- Visualization of results in ITK (through R?)
Suggested Implementations
Data Bridge
Making some ITK data structures visible from R by converting or adapting them to R vectors. And conversely, adapting R vectors into ITK data structures.
Candidate ITK classes
- itk::FixedArray (and derived classes)
- itk::Point
- itk::Vector
- itk::Index
- itk::Offset
- itk::CovariantVector
- itk::RGBPixel
- itk::RGBAPixel
- itk::VariableLenghtVector
- itk::Matrix
- itk::Containers
- itk::VectorContainer
- itk::MapContainer
- itk::Image
- itk::PixelContainer
- itk::Sample
- itk::KdTree
Candidate STL classes
- STL Containers
- std::list
- std::queue
- std::map
- std::set
Wrapping (WrapITK)
Adapting the wrapping process of WrapITK in order to expose ITK functionalities from R.
