Agenda

Attendees: Casey Goodlett, Steve Pieper, Dominik Meier, Andriy Fedorov, Ron Kikinis
Date and place: Friday, August 21, 1249 Boylston, 2nd floor conference room
Schedule

09:00-12:00 Review of registration in Slicer:
1. What input is the user asked to provide and in what form.
2. Does a standard user understand what they are supposed to provide?
3. What does the user expect registration results to look like?
4. Bias correction
5. histogram normalization
6. handling image distortion (EPI)
7. capture range and start pose
8. ROI/VOI
9. greyscale versus segmentation (binaries, surface models)
10. List of modules:
  1. transformation module
  2. linear registration
  3. rigid registration
  4. affine registration
  5. b-spline registration
  6. register images
  7. Utah b-spline
  8. VMTK/Python ICP
  9. ACPC registration
12:00-01:00 Lunch
01:00-05:00 Making plans, use case scenarios, sample data sets, plan larger registration summit

Other items:

Needs

Robust solutions
Clinical APIs as opposed to engineering APIs
Good default parameters
Modality recorded in the image class to automate use case and parameter selection
Fast techniques for interactive investigations
Non-interactive techniques can run longer
Transform IO to all modules (mapping RAS to LPS as needed)
Ability to apply estimated transforms to other types of data
Region of interest registration (anything from a brain mask to a structure segmentation)
Validation datasets
Regression testing of registration accuracy
