Key Investigators

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
From top priority to possible future work: Being able to visualize, load and save volumetric meshes Improving clipped visualization of models (surface models or volumetric meshes) and facilitate the display of the point data (active scalars). Being able to create volumetric meshes from label maps (or segmentation?) and possibly edit them	Initial discussions needed with Curtis and Steve based on existing work: IA FEMesh from Slicer 3, BodyCentricCubicMesh and MeshCompression modules, and the CleaverExtension. Probably investigate the creation of a MRML node similar to Models (possibly create a hierarchy between both?) that would wrap a vtkUnstructuredGrid in order to visualize, load and save the meshes. Investigate best way to adapt previous Slicer-based volumetric work that allowed for creation and edition (bullet point 1) to work with the new architecture put in place within Slicer 4 (bullet point 2).	Some parts of the IA FEMesh module were prototyped in early Slicer 4 (Curtis).
