Project Description

Objective

Enhance the integration of SimpleITK with Slicer and expand the documentation for building modules from SimpleITK

Approach, Plan

• Enhance the interface for the existing "SimpleFilters" module to allow for label maps and image types to be better handled.
  • [BRAD] Explain how the SimpleFilters module works
  • [DAVE] Make outputs default to NOT overwriting the inputs
  • [Brad] For binary image outputs, set them as labelmaps

• Add python output code generation and display
  • [DAVE] Introspect SimpleITK functions for get/set options
  • [DAVE] Add text output to SimpleFilters GUI
  • [DAVE] Verify code in external environment

• Convert SimpleITK functions to user interface modules
  • [DAVE] Create a SimpleITK function that histogram equalizes one image to another. "outimage=histEQ(refImage,inputImage,numberOfBins)"
  • [DAVE] Convert that simple function to a Slicer GUI interface

Progress

• [DONE] Enhance the interface for the existing "SimpleFilters" module to allow for label maps and image types to be better handled.
• [NEEDS TESTING] Add python output code generation and display
• [INCOMPLETE] Convert SimpleITK functions to user interface modules
