[Insight-users] ITK, Random Forests, and OpenCV

[Becksfort, Jared]

Hello,

I am trying to use random forests on medical images.  I am converting a Java Weka program I wrote to C++.  I want to use ITK for its medical imaging tools and file format support, but it doesn't seem like there is a random forest package in ITK.  Am I wrong?

If there is not a random forest package, I had planned to use the machine learning component of OpenCV, but it does not support the file types I have to support, such as nii, dicom, and mhd/mha and isn't really designed for medical imaging.  It also seems like I am making it much more difficult than I need to.  I have seen papers published that used ITK with random forests, but the code is not available.

Does anyone have any suggestions for using a random forest package with or within ITK?  Or using OpenCV for medical images (yes, I know I should ask that on the OpenCV mailing list)?

Thanks,
Jared
