MITK 2012-06 Release Notes
This snapshot release is the first in the new MITK release cycle. A long time after the last official 0.14 release and a 1.0beta we decided to change our release cycle to a date based one. The lists of highlights, new features and bugfixes are very long since they list everything since the 0.14 release.
Highlights of MITK 2012-06
- General:
- Version control switched to git
- Much simplified build process: Superbuild automatically downloads and builds all external libraries like ITK, VTK, CTK, DCMTK, OpenCV ...
- MITK Project Template: much easier project setup for external users
- Core library:
- removed dependency to the deprecated IIL library. All images are completely rendered in VTK and performance is increased significantly.
- infrastructure for automated testing of rendering classes
- high-performance volume rendering including software and hardware acceleration for NVidia and ATI devices.
- reworked loading of DICOM CT/MR images, sorting of images into 3D volumes works much more consistent now
- standardized exception handling concept for MITK. Detailed information can be found in the MITK documentation in the part MITK concepts.
- new mitkExtractSliceFilter, for fast and arbitrary reslicing of images which eases the handling of rotated planes in rendering and interactive segmentation
- Documentation:
- New and expanded user manual for many plugins
- New help framework for the application
- New doxygen page bundling more in-depth technical documentation: MITK Concepts
- Segmentation:
- interactive segmentation on rotated planes
- 3D interpolation for the interactive segmentation
- adaptive region growing
- a deformable clipping plane allows you to plan e.g. organ resections
- boolean operations: combine/intersect/subtract different segmentations
- MITK-IGT:
- new classes for tool management
- restructured IGT plugins: new example applications e.g. for basic tracking functionality
- MITK-ToF:
- Module for range data support, allows acquisition and processing of range data acquired by Time-of-Flight cameras and the Microsoft Kinect Device. More info
- QmitkToFUtil: Viewer for range data acquired with classes of the ToF modules.
- Base application:
- PACS-like level window interaction mode (activate it in the preferences)
- Plugins:
- new mesh decimation plugin
- central examples plugin
- central image measurement and statistics plugin
- deformable clipping plane plugin
- diffusion imaging, see MITK DiffusionImaging for more details.
More than 1200 bugs were fixed since 0.14.
