Project Description
Objective
- Generate effective visualizations for 3D SIFT feature sets in Slicer.
Approach, Plan
- Investigate methods for visualizing 3D feature location, scale, orientation and group label (e.g. diseased, healthy)
- Location, scale: spheres (markups), group labels: color/transparency
- Visualization: Slicer Python module based on Slicer Markups
- Data preparation: c++
Progress
- Evaluated Slicer fiducials and VTK glyph models for feature display
- Developed a python script to convert a 3D SIFT feature file into a VTK model (thanks Lauren, Nicole)
- ToDo:
- display feature orientation (possibly as another glyph)
- display varying feature opacity
