Objective
Develop a software tool for visualizing and querying an electronic atlas. We are developing atlases of the human lung R01 HL64368, the rat lung R01HL073598, and the mouse lung R01 HL080285. We want to make a common software tool that can be customized for specific atlases. The image data and semantic information will be stored in a database and will be indexed through a graphical user interface.
Approach, Plan
Our plan for the project week is to
- Reduce bottlenecks for the atlas application
- Compare and contrast the performance of Kwwidgets and wxWidgets
- Discuss ideas for a data manager object that is used to read, organize, and manage memory issues for the atlas.
- Learn the best ways to visualize images, surface models, segmentations and symbolic information referenced by coordinate systems using the NA-MIC software
- Discuss registration methods for matching airway trees.
The database should contain the following information, plus additional information, for every region on the atlas:
- statistics – average length, width, surface area, etc.
- labels – floating labels above the atlas that is visible from all viewing angles.
- associated color – the associated color that marks particular regions on the atlas.
- description – detailed description of the region on the atlas.
When dealing with registration images, clicking on the template/target image should highlight and display the corresponding point on a transformed coordinate system.
