Slicer-IGT/GPU-IGT/121107

• [Action items, Nichoals] Mid-term goal for Nicholas is to port his rigid and non-rigid regstration to ITK
  • Progress--got codes from Won-Ki
  • his code only compilable at CUDA machine
  • Won-ki modified some of ITK (medial filtering ** needs detail)

• • CMake version of Nicholas's code (compilable w/wo CUDA)
  • had non-itk registration and non-rigid registratoin
  • in the process of implementing them to ITK
  • made progress by refering to Won-Ki's code
  • effort on CMakeing CUDA

• • Ben
  • implemented CMake switchers for CUDA
  • link to Ben's note
  • integrated Framework for CUDA to slicer in th context of volume rendering
  • confirmed in Linux

• [Action items, Nicholas] Contact Utah team hear how exactly they implement their ITK.
  • done

• [Action items, Nicholas] sending volume rendering code by Dec. 6th.

1. Volume rendering

• CUDA accelerated volume rendering
• x15 - 20 improvement
• comparison to other people's CG-based volume rendering media:SIGGRAPH-GPU.pdf
• [Action items, Benjamin] port CUDA-based volume rendering to vtk volume rendering classes, and then to Slicer
• [Action items, Benjamin] succeed Nicholas' itk-cuda-rigid non-rigid regstration and port them to Slicer in the context of MRg cardiac ablation

1. Timeline

• NH will write paper on IV-CUDA rendering for Journal
• Hata suggested publication of ITK-CUDA registration in Insight Journal (Feb)
• Benjamin will have short summery as of March 15 for MICCAI.
• Benjamin will finish his project by May 15th.
