[Insight-users] Announcement: ITK Public Meeting

[Asad A. Abu-Tarif]

Hi,
Is there any registration or fees? I might be able to go but
don't want to drive to Boston and not be able to get in :-)

Thanks,
Asad

> ITK: The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit Public Presentation
> When: Thursday, June 13, 2002 2:00-5:00pm

> The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) is an open source
> software system supporting the Visible Human Project. ITK was developed by
> six principal firms (three academic-UNC,U. of Pennsylvania, U. of Utah;
and
> three commercial-GE Research, Insightful, Kitware) and funded through The
> National Library of Medicine at NIH. ITK employs a variety of leading edge
> segmentation and registration algorithms in 2D, 3D, and more dimensions,
and
> is being developed using advanced, distributed software processes. This
> presentation marks the first formal introduction of ITK to the public.  We
> will provide a brief history of and motivation for the software, a survey
of
> available registration and segmentation algorithms, live demonstrations,
and
> an overview of the development environment. We will also discuss some
early
> reviews from the ITK community and plans for the future. Developers,
> Principal Investigators, and NLM project officers will be available for
> questions after the presentation.
