Key Investigators

  • Jim Miller, GE
  • Steve Pieper, Isomics, Inc.

Objective

Provide the infrastructure to handle non-linear transformations as both modeling and resampling transforms.

Approach, Plan

We will continue the plans from the Summer 2008 project event (here).

  • Add attribute to transform nodes to indicate whether they represent a "Transform to World/Parent" or "Transform from World/Parent"
  • Extend visualization system for "Transform to World/Parent" or "Transform from World/Parent" _
  • Extend command line modules to annotate a transformation as a "Transform to World/Parent" or "Transform from World/Parent"
  • Identify places in slicer3 code where linear transforms are assumed - these either need generalization or informative warning/error messages
  • Incorporate itkDisplacementFieldTransform/vtkGridTransform for vector field style transformations.
    • Need to extend itk::TransformIO. Prototype using Base64/Zipped vector fields. Alternative, reference external image to hold vectors in file format.
  • Coordinate frame manager to map between any two data sets verses mapping to parent/world.
