The Insight Journal is an Open Access on-line publication covering the domain of medical image processing and visualization.

The unique characteristics of the Insight Journal include:

- Open-access to articles, data, code, and reviews
- Open peer-review that invites discussion between reviewers and authors
- Emphasis on reproducible science via automated code compilation and testing
- Support for continuous revision of articles, code, and reviews

ImageNetworkReader: an ITK Class for Loading Images Across a Network
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Blezek D.
This document describes a new class for the Insight Toolkit~(ITK www.itk.org) for reading images across a network. Network access is handled by CURL (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/), an Open Source library for client-side URL transfer. CURL supports the FTP, [...]

Graph Cuts, <i>Caveat Utilitor</i>, and Euler's Bridges of Konigsberg

Tustison N., Yushkevich P., Song Z., Gee J.
Graph-based algorithms have enjoyed renewed interest for solving computer vision problems. These algorithms have been the subject of intense interest and research. In order to maintain the ITK library au courant, we developed a framework for graph-based [...]

Giving streaming and multi-threading capabilities to non-streamable ITK filters
Bottom
No opinion
Michel J.
This document describes a filter able to give streaming and multi-threading capabilities to those filters that can not be easily streamed or multi-threaded. The goal of this document is to explain the implementation of this filter, and how it can be used to [...]

A Novel Information-Theoretic Point-Set Measure Based on the Jensen-Havrda-Charvat-Tsallis Divergence
Bottom

Tustison N., Awate S., Gee J.
A novel point-set registration algorithm was proposed in [6] based on minimization of the Jensen-Shannon divergence. In this contribution, we generalize this Jensen-Shannon divergence point-set measure framework to the Jensen-Havrda-Charvat-Tsallis [...]

Surface Mesh Normals Filter
Bottom

Gelas A., Gouaillard A., Megason S.
We have previously developed a new surface mesh data structure in itk (code{itk::QuadEdgeMesh}~cite{itkQE}). In this document we describe a new filter (code{itk::QENormalFilter}) to estimate normals for a given triangular surface mesh in this data structure. [...]

Surface Mesh Discrete Curvature Estimators
Bottom

Gelas A., Gouaillard A., Megason S.
Computing local curvatures of a given surface is important for applications, shape analysis, surface segmentation, meshing, and surface evolution. For a given smooth surface (with a given analytical expression which is sufficiently differentiable) curvatures [...]

A Label Geometry Image Filter for Multiple Object Measurement
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Padfield D., Miller J.
The itkLabelGeometryImageFilter is a new ITK filter that enables the measurement of geometric features of labeled objects. It calculates features similar to the "regionprops" command of Matlab. It is related to the itkLabelStatisticsImageFilter in that both [...]

Triangular Meshes Delaunay Conforming Filter
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Gelas A., Gouaillard A., Megason S.
The emph{Delaunay triangulation} is the triangulation of a set of points which maximizes the minimum angle of all angles of the triangles, and thus triangle aspect ratios. So converting a non Delaunay triangulation into a Delaunay triangulation, emph{Delaunay [...]

Surface Meshes Incremental Decimation Framework
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Gelas A., Gouaillard A., Megason S.
When dealing with meshes, it is often preferable to work with a lower resolution mesh for computational time purpose, display. The process of reducing a given mesh, mesh decimation, is thus an important step in most of pipeline dealing with meshes. [...]

Image Registration with Automatic Computation of Gradients
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Kahn E., Staib L.
Many image registration algorithms are formulated as optimization problems with a gradient descent based solver, One difficulty with designing and implementing such methods is in the implementation of the [...]

Meeting Andy Warhol Somewhere Over the Rainbow:  RGB Colormapping and ITK
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Tustison N., Zhang H., Yushkevich P., Gee J.
Although greyscale intensity values are primarily used in image data visualization oftentimes, due to the requirements of aesthetics (whether they be self-imposed or collaborator-suggested), mapping the greyscale image to a user-defined colormap is desired. [...]
