Objective

Provide a framework for Streered Segmentation in the Editor Module.

Approach, Plan

An example implementation of GrowCut has been implemented as a test.

During project week we would like to:

  • Discuss the implementation with potential users and developers in order to generalize the approach and improve the interface.
  • Discuss other algorithms suitable for this apuproach
  • Possibly test this module on multiple CPU/GPU options to compare performance. (may be tricking since installation is not automated)
  • Identify OpenCL/GPU programming experts to help evaluate and improve the implementation.


See the repository for more information: https://github.com/pieper/SlicerCL

(Note that use of this module requires installation of PyOpenCL into the slicer python build tree - see this example script. Also note that the current implementation depends on some changes to the Editor module that only exist in a threeDEditor branch.)

Progress

  • Topic was generalized to include editor effects based on ITK and VTK
    • SimpleITK tools (Brad)
    • Porting of CLI tools to run as steered segmenters (Yi, Ivan)
  • Productive discussions with other developers about future strategies and uses of OpenCL (pyopencl)
