- Notes & concepts about the Registration Case Library
Development Efforts
- Notes & ideas for GUI and algorithm implementation. Discussion platform with the developer group
- Parameter Exploration
- link to Kitware Wiki on developer efforts
Reference Manual
- The reference manual will contain detailed descriptions of each parameter and each control element within the slicer registration module. The description should help the user understand what exactly that function/parameter does and if/how useful it will be for their specific registration problem.
- Each entry will have one short description (that could also serve as tooltip) and one longer, more technical explanation.
- Preferred formats: Slicer Wiki, maybe PDF, cross-linking required
- Draft Registration Reference Manual
User Manuals & Tutorials
- The user manual will contain a systematic overview of registration functionality within 3DSlicer. formats: Slicer Wiki, PowerPoint.
- Turtorials will be case oriented and always demonstrate a particular task or feature
- Video Tutorials: showcase of specific workflow
- Background Tutorials, explaining the basics of registration, formats: PowerPoint. Minimal understanding of the inner workings of a registration optimization algorithm is essential to understand and judge the results obtained and obtainable.
- Topics for background tutorials:
- the main components: transform, similarity function, optimization, interpolation
- coordinate systems: physical vs. image space, RAS vs. LPI etc.
- relevant image meta-data: image/axis orientation, image/CS origin, voxel size, dynamic range
- overview of scenarios and their different challenges: image pairings, DOF, multi-modal, intra/inter-subject etc.
- how to evaluate a match: tools & concepts
- common mistakes to avoid: inappropriate DOF, overly flat similarity metric, CS inconsistencies, FOV discrepancies, wrong interpolation, insufficient search (sample points, multi-scale, DOF scale-space)
- Troubleshooting guide: insufficient match - what next? Parameter modification, DOF change, initial alignment assist, fiducial help, ROI masking (e.g. skull stripping)

- Coordinate Systems / Image Orientation
