Introduction
- The NA-MIC algorithm core holds an annual retreat
- The 2010 event will begin on 8:30 am on Friday the 5th of Nov and finish at approximately 2pm on Saturday the 6th.
- Meeting location: SittersonHall/Brooks Building, chair's conference room, FB120 (first floor)
- If you have problems finding it, give Martin a call (919-260-6674)
Agenda
Friday
- 8:30 meet in Chair's conference room, Brooks Building, coffee
- 9-10 DBP updates, data availability, each 15 minutes
- 10-10:30 DBP common themes, differences, what is missing
- 10:30-12 Overview of Core 1 site short and long term plans (each 15 min)
- noon lunch
- student presentations of exciting ideas, 10-20 minutes
- Yi Gao, region competition segmentation, particle diffeo/polyaffine registrations
- Sam Gerber, brain image manifolds
- Romeil Sandhu, diffeo registration of 3D objects
- Michal Depa
- Archana Venkataraman
- Ross Whitaker
- Martin Styner
- Marc Niethammer
- 1-5 Discussions on longitudinal & personalized registration, segmentation topics, shape topics
Saturday
- 8:30 meet & coffee, meeting first in front of Sitterson Hall (doors are closed on Saturday)
- 9-11 Slicer
- Ron will give an update on Slicer 3.6.2 and Slicer 4, extensions
- Extensions:
- Ron will give an update on Slicer 3.6.2 and Slicer 4, extensions
- If your algorithm can be delivered as a CLI, then develop and deploy it now as an extension for 3.6 and the nightly builds. This will transition smoothly to slicer4.
- If your algorithm requires interactivity then
- If you want to deploy it within the next 6 months, then consider a python or tcl scripted wizard interface to CLI code, knowing that there will be some porting required.
- if a wizard isn't interactive enough, consider a custom kwwidgets interface, knowing that this will be difficult to port to slicer4
- if your deployment target is 6 or more months out, you should begin working with the slicer4 Qt developer build starting in January.
- Most of the DBP projects fall under rule 3. If a CLI plug-in is the end result, then 3.6 is still a good target for now.
- Ron will give a demo of Changetracker, GrowCutSegment (Harini's charts on GrowCut and Active Learning), Fastmarching.
- Allen and Yi Gao will demo RSS
- Discussion on interactive issues, what level of interaction, how to mesh those with Slicer
- 11-12 AHM planning
- noon lunch on Franklin street
- 1-2 summary, make up slot
