2010 Summer Project Week EMSegmentation kmeans
Key Investigators
- BWH: Ryan Eckbo
Objective
To implement as one of the options: KMeans automatic initialization of tissue class intensities in the EMSegmentation Module in Slicer3.
Approach, Plan
Currently we have stand alone python scripts that take in 3 inputs: a template MRML scene, path to the T1 image, path to the atlas images. Intensities are computed using KMeans and a MRML scene is outputted which can directly be loaded in Slicer3 for segmentation. Registration of images (T1 and atlases) has to be done as a preprocessing step before providing as inputs to the python scripts. Meet up during NAMIC week and see how best this process can be integrated as one of the options with the current EMSegmentation pipeline in Slicer3.
Progress
To be announced
Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as a Loadable module.
