Aims

Integrate ITK into SCIRun No changes to ITK Minimal changes to SCIRun Easy to apply to all old and new ITK

sci_filter.xml XSL: include files, more instantiation information

Templated Filters

1) One module per instantiation Trivial

2) Switch statement

Instantiation information in an XML file to be used during code generation

3) Dynamic Compilation Non-templated base classes

Adding a New Filter

ReflectImageFilter

Steps: Write itk_ReflectImageFilter.xml Write basic sci_ReflectImageFilter.xml Generate module Write gui_ReflectImageFilter.xml

Example – itk_filter.xml<filter-itk name=“itk::ReflectImageFilter”>

<description> Reflects an image along a selected direction. </description>

<templated> … </templated>

<inputs> … </inputs>

<outputs> … </outputs> <parameters> … </parameters>

<includes> … </includes></filter-itk>







<templated> <template>InputImageType</template> <template>OutputImageType</template> <defaults> <default> itk::Image< float, 2> </default> <default> itk::Image< float, 2> </default> </defaults></templated>







<inputs> <input name=“SourceImage” > <type> InputImageType </type> <call> SetInput </call> </input></inputs>







<parameters> <param> <name> direction </name> <type> int </type> <call> SetDirection </call> </param></parameters>







<includes> <file> itkReflectImageFilter.h </file></includes>

Example – sci_filter.xml

<filter name=“ReflectImageFilter”>

<include href=“” />

<filter-sci> … </filter-sci>

</filter>





</filter>

<include href=“ITK/itk_ReflectImageFilter.xml”/>





</filter>

<filter-sci name=“ReflectImageFilter”> <package> Insight </package>

<category> Filters </category> <instantiations use-defaults=“yes”/> <includes> <file>Packages/Insight/Dataflow/ Ports/ITKDatatypePort.h </file> </includes> </filter-sci>
