Key Investigators

  • Gary Christensen, Iowa (NIREP principal investigator)
  • Jeffrey Hawley (NIREP software developer)
  • Ying Wei (NIREP software developer)
  • Kate Rasing (NIREP software developer)


Objective

We have started the Non-rigid Image Registration Evaluation Project (NIREP) to develop software tools and provide shared image validation databases for rigorous testing of non-rigid image registration algorithms. NIREP will extend the scope of prior validation projects by developing evaluation criteria and metrics using large image populations, using richly annotated image databases, using computer simulated data, and increasing the number and types of evaluation criteria.


Approach, Plan

The goal of this project is to establish, maintain, and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks and metrics for performance evaluation of nonrigid image registration algorithms. Furthermore, these standards will be incorporated into an exportable computer program to automatically evaluate the registration accuracy of nonrigid image registration algorithms.

Our goal for this week is to further the prototype software package that was created last year with help in these areas:

  • The best way to break the VTK pipeline
  • Streaming Images
  • Revisit Object Overlays
  • Seeing ways to do Database Managers
  • CPack
  • DART Dashboard
  • wxWidgets support
