JPEG2000 and HDF5 Image Readers in ITK

Key Investigators

• Harvard Medical School: Kishore Mosaliganti, Sean Megason
• Kitware: Luis Ibanez

Project

Objective

Add support to ITK for reading very large microscopy datasets, in particular by reading regions of interest, and subsampled versions.

Approach, Plan

We are adding support for JPEG2000 files (via OpenJpeg), and will be looking soon at HDF5 support

Progress

An initial version of the JPEG2000 support is avalable at: http://svn.na-mic.org/NAMICSandBox/trunk/JPEG2000ImageIO/

We have joined the development team of Open Jpeg and setup a Dashboard for it at: http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=OPENJPEG
