Project Description

Objective

We have developed simple, very lightweight software for building processing pipelines:
https://www.github.com/rameshvs/medical-imaging-pipelines
At the project week, we plan to finish building basic visualization of pipelines and a framework for making pipeline output easily visualizable in tools like Slicer.
This system is meant to be a more lightweight alternative to existing tools such as nipype (http://nipy.org/nipype/): nipype provides a broad range of features but requires learning the intricacies of its system. Our system is meant to provide the core subset of those features, but in turn will be much simpler to learn, use, and work with.

Approach, Plan

• Implement visualization (see screenshot)
• Discuss wishlist for pipeline (come see me if you have any thoughts!)
• Discuss MRML/MRB output for visualizing results in Slicer

Progress

• Built better visualization (see screenshot)
• Had many productive discussions with ideas for pipeline
• Started data provenance tracking system and partial script execution
