Objective
Integrate recent methods for filtered tractography into Slicer3 using Python.Plan
Implement various local models and filtering techniques. Support both region-of-interest and fiducial seeding. Support both interactive and batch processing.Progress
We have MATLAB implementations of various local models (single-tensor, two-tensor, Watson functions, weighted mixtures of these, etc.) and various model-based filters (Kalman, unscented Kalman, particle, etc.). We have begun converting these to NumPy/Python as well as the additional infrastructure for performing tractography within Slicer.
