Background

Project Description

Objective

  • Formalize and complete OpenIGTLink v3 specification
  • Complete OpenIGTLink v3 implementation
    • Add support for metadata fields in v3 messages
  • Finalize implementation of OpenIGTLink v3 in PLUS
  • Finalize implementation of OpenIGTLink v3 in OpenIGTLink
  • Finalize implementation of OpenIGTLink v3 in OpenIGTLinkRemote (SlicerIGT)
  • Finalize separation of internals in OpenIGTLinkIF to enable re-use
  • Maintain backwards compatibility

Approach, Plan

  • 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 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)
