Project Description
Objective
- Plus toolkit provides access to numerous hardware devices (imaging devices, tracking devices, navigations systems, sensors, etc.) and makes it available through OpenIGTLink protocol
- Create a common library that makes communication with Plus (and OpenIGTLink-compatible devices or software) very simple:
- Ensure software interoperability
- Share software maintenance workload
- Make it easy to share new features
- Add specific features for tracked ultrasound and surgical navigation
Approach, Plan
- Formalize and complete OpenIGTLink v3 specification: mostly completed during NAMIC Winter Project Week 2016
- Implement OpenIGTLink v3 specification in OpenIGTLink: commands and custom attributes
- Implement OpenIGTLinkIO library for convenient connection setup, command handling, conversion to/from VTK data objects, legacy OpenIGTLink (v1 and v2) support
- Implement tests and examples
Progress
- OpenIGTLink v3 is implemented in OpenIGTLink and Plus toolkits
- OpenIGTLinkIO library basic features implemented, used in CustusX, IBIS, Plus (server launcher)
- Next steps: make OpenIGTLinkIO feature complete, use OpenIGTLinkIO also in 3D Slicer and Plus (for making them simpler and easier to maintain)
