*An example of the features/character of a video tutorial is here: [[Media:VideoTutorialDemo_v1_0.mov]]
 
−
*video tutorials have become a popular and widespread form to document GUI interactions, particularly tutorials
 
−
* they can have almost  the quality of direct tutoring
 
−
*they are compact in length and filesize (because the changes are local and small over time, MPEG compression is very effective with little quality loss), which makes them ideal for online distribution
 
−
*movie viewing capability is mainstream, i.e. all OS will have this capability, viewers can be downloaded for free
 
−
*the audio track can provide main instructions, motivation, commentary and an abundance of detail information at the right juncture, something very difficult to provide in other formats without overloading a tutorial
 
−
*the step by step interaction is captured unambiguously. We do not spend a lot of time and space in showing slides with screen captures.
 
−
*since they are easy to make and great software is inexpensive, potential use even for developer communication can be considered, e.g. to document complex bugs
 
−
*they have a low usage threshold, i.e. users are more inclined to watch a video than to dig through a power point presentation
 
−
*they are not all that useful for reference or main documentation material, e.g. a tutorial on main registration concepts is probably still better in PPT.

*formats: video files (quicktime, WMV, mp4 , Flash), optimized for streaming or download

**main effort in first few months will be building of a use case library: starting with a tree of use case scenarios (brain-non-brain, inter- vs. intramodality, MR-MR inter-contrast, inter-subject vs. intra-subject, DTI to structural. Emphasis is on applications/cases, not technology, i.e. no distinction between implementation (e.g. fiducials, cost function etc.). Whole body scenarios: PET-CT, PET-CT with follow-up to track tumor growth, image-guided therapy applications

Reference Manual

  • The reference manual will be organized by submodules and contain detailed descriptions of each parameter and each control element within the slicer registration module. The description should help the user understand what exactly that function/parameter does and if/how useful it will be for their specific registration problem.
  • Each entry will have one short description (that could also serve as tooltip) and one longer, more technical explanation.
  • links to journal articles for in depth algorithm info
  • Preferred formats: Slicer Wiki, maybe PDF, cross-linking required
  • Draft Registration Reference Manual

User Manuals & Tutorials

Contact

  • if there is anything you think would be of help to the 3DSlicer registration user, be that documentation, examples or features, we'd love to hear about it:
