OpenIGTLink/Matlab

Overview

The objective of this project is to provide OpenIGTLink interface for Matlab / Octave to support research and development in image guided therapy (IGT). Matlab and Octave are widely used for prototyping image and signal processing algorithms. They also offers many powerful function set to handle matrix and coordinate data, which is useful to test and analyze coordinate data exported from tracking and robotic devices. The OpenIGTLink interface for Matlab / Octave allows importing and exporting several types of data that can be handled in the OpenIGTLink protocol in Matlab / Octave environment. It provides a rapid prototyping environment, which many researchers and engineers are already familiar with.
