Two Luis Miguel fans walk into a bar in Nagoya ---> (yada, yada, yada) ---> an ITK-implementation of a popular patch-based denoising filter
Published in The Insight Journal

Tustison N., Manjon J.V.

This document describes an ITK implementation of the adaptive patch-based image denoising algorithm described in cite{Manjon:2010aa}. This offering consists of the templated class itkPatchBasedDenoisingImageFilter interfaced through the DenoiseImage program [...]

ND morphological contour interpolation
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., Vicory J., McCormick M., Wisse L., Gerig G., Yushkevich P., Aylward S.

This document describes a new class, itk::MorphologicalContourInterpolator, which implements a method proposed by Albu et al. in 2008. Interpolation is done by first determining correspondence between shapes on adjacent segmented slices by detecting overlaps, [...]

RLEImage: run-length encoded memory compression scheme for an itk::Image
Published in The Insight Journal

Zukić D., McCormick M., Gerig G., Yushkevich P.

This document describes a new class, itk::RLEImage, which uses run-length encoding to reduce the memory needed for storage of label maps. This class is accompanied by all the iterators to make it a dropin replacement for itk::Image. By changing the image [...]

Cubic and Hermite splines for VTK
Published in The MIDAS Journal

Kovacs N., Peters T., Chen E.

A cubic spline is a spline where each curve is defined by a third-order polynomial, while a Hermite spline has each polynomial specified in Hermite form, being computed using tangent information as well as the position of the points. We propose two new [...]

Providing values of adjacent voxel with vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes
Published in The VTK Journal

Grothausmann R.

The contribution to VTK presented in this article is an extension to vtk::vtkDiscreteMarchingCubes to also create vtk::vtkPointData scalars containing the value of the adjacent voxel. These can be used to remove regions of the marching-cubes 1 mesh depending [...]

Automatic Segmentation of Structures in CT Head and Neck Images using a Coupled Shape Model
Published in The MIDAS Journal

Jung F., Knapp O., Wesarg S.

The common approach to do a fully automatic segmentation of multiple structures is an atlas or multi-atlas based solution. These already have proven to be suitable for the segmentation of structures in the head and neck area and provide very accurate [...]
