FEM

• Done to Beta Level
• Need to review code coverage

Level Sets

• Merged Gerrit Patch
  • 2526
  • And a collection of JIRA tickets
• Done to Beta Level
• Need to review code coverage
• MICCAI Tutorial
  • Provide a couple of examples

Registration

  • Tests / Examples ?

Simple ITK

• Image Buffer Access
• Packaging
• MICCAI Tutorial
• Web pages are up
  • http://www.kitware.com/SimpleITK/project/project.html
  • Need some retouches (soon...)

WrapITK

• packaging being sync'ed with simpleITK (python currently)
• Next: finish wrapitk integration
• Next(2): C#
• infrastructure: set up a robot build with wrapping (mac)

DICOM

• Tcon with Slicer team.
• DICOM in ITK mainly serves Slicer
• slicer community go for DCMTK / CTK
• problem in syncing with ITK leading to double parsing
• GDCM to be replaced by DCMTK eventually
• PACS Support not to be done in ITK as it always involve a GUI or an individual/application in the middle.
• DICOM RT and Diffusion MRI *could* be priority now
• New roadmap and deliverable to be decided by Alex/steve/STephen very soon

GPU

• Status ?
  • Mac Compilation
  • Scope of filters to support ?
• Patch added today
  • http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,2577

TIFF Update

• Pending warning about 3Gb computation in Windows.
• Need verification when saving images larger than 9Gb.

Numerical Libraries

• Julie Langou Visting Kitware for a Week-long Hackathon.
• Refactor Numerical Libraries
  • Inventory of Numerical Libraries
  • Fourier Transforms
• Avoiding FORTRAN to C translation
• Removing "eispack and "linpack" to be replaced with "lapack" calls
  • provide "lapack" through "lapacke"
• Immediate Targets
  • FFT
  • Linear Solvers for large sparse matrices (for FEM)

A2D2 Microscopy Colocalization

• Started Gerrit training: Two Hackathons
• Patches coming into Gerrit

A2D2 on Registration Optimization

Dashboard

• New Stronger Warning Settings
  • Problem: Hyper-Abundance of Warnings is killing the CDash Server.
  • Proposal: Activate the warning on selected modules and clean house-by-house...
    • This divide-and-conquer method proved to be successful when cleaning KWStyle issues.
