Special topic breakout: ITK

Tutorial Session on ITK

Topics

From Gary:

• How do you efficiently integrate VTK and ITK with respect to reading and writing images? Is there one class that can be used to hold data sets for both libraries?
• How to do FFTs in ITK?
• What type of coordinate space should be used, voxels vs. real space?
• What type of image formats should be used?
• Is there any standard way to read in coefficient files, i.e., algorithm specific parameters?
• How are XML/MRML files parced in ITK/VTK? We want to know how to use the vtkXMLparser and MRML objects to parse our XML files.
• What are the memory and performance issues with ITK?

I'd like to talk about how we can have a reader/writer for reading/writing images and their associated history/descriptions. The history/description of the files could possibly be coded in XML/MRML.
