[Insight-users] the code for Lorigo's level set method

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Jian,

This particular method is not available in ITK
at this point.

Unless I'm missing something, the segmentation
method showed at SPIE was using FastMarching.

There were other vessel segmentation applications
presented at the course but they were not using
LevelSets.

You will find all the material presented at SPIE
in the cvs repository. Under the module InsightDocuments.
in the directory: CourseWare/Training.

You may find interesting to know that a lot of activity
is going on in the ITK LevelSet arena. There are currently
five different groups developing LevelSet based segmentation
methods to be added to the toolkit before september 2003.

You will find information about this work in progress
at the ITK project manager page:

Let us know if you have further questions.


Thanks

   Luis
