Objective
Allow easy implementation of CLI modules in Matlab.
Approach, Plan
Implement a module that can run Matlab functions as a CLI. It should not require building of Slicer or a C++ compiler. Should be possible to install from an extension.
Create a Python script that generates the following scripts:
- Proxy: a Python CLI module (with a .bat executer on Windows), it returns the CLI description XML to Slicer during module discovery, it calls the Matlab stub script when Slicer executes the module. It may also start the Matlab server, if it's not running already.
- Stub: a Matlab function that performs the actual processing. It receives the same parameters as the CLI module (input and output file names, numerical values, etc.), it reads the data from files (with helper file I/O functions), performs the computations, and writes results to files.
Other necessary components:
- Matlab server: Matlab script that executes commands that it receives through OpenIGTLink. Already exists, was developed during the last project week.
- Helper Matlab functions: file I/O to read write image, model, transform, etc., maybe command-line parameter parsing (if the CLI parameters are all passed as a simple string; alternatively, the parameter string parsing may be done in the proxy script).
Progress
Matlab server already implemented (receives Matlab commands and sends back the results through OpenIGTLink)
Delivery Mechanism
This work will be delivered to the NA-MIC Kit as part of the SlicerRT extension.
