Introduction

This project pursues a command line interface ala unu developed by Gordon Kindlmann such as different commands get together in a pipeline style interface.

Goals

• Create nD itkImage: IO with ITK IO Factory, raw IO.
• Manage nD itkImage: permutation, splitting of axis.
• Conversion between PixelTypes.
• Integration of basic ITK filters (proof of concept).
  • Example:

itku filter -f VectorGradientAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter \
    -i image.mhd \
    -NumberOfIteratons 10 \
    -TimeStep .1 \
  > out.mhd

Post-Programming-Week

• Building Teem in CMake; need its "hest" command-line parser. Mostly done, some wrinkles still being worked out as time permits.
• Did create, with Jim Miller's help, a minimal framework for doing dynamic loading of compiled filters (instantiated for a range of image types and dimensions)
• Realized that reading and writing images via stdout and stdin is not standard in ITK. Considered teaching ITK that "-" means stdin/stdout and the NRRD format.

TODO: Create a minimal example of using a diffusion filter (as above)
