Free Hands-on Workshop

The Insight Open-source Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK)



Summary: ITK is a widely used free and open-source, cross-platform
software toolkit that provides an extensive suite of software tools
for biomedical image analysis, especially segmentation and
registration. Developed using extreme programming methodologies, ITK
employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting
multidimensional data. Matt McCormick from Kitware, Inc. will conduct
a hands-on workshop on ITK at the University of Houston. The
interactive portion of this workshop will include an introduction to
ITK and Simple ITK, with hands-on exercises on advanced image
filtering, segmentation, and registration. A free USB thumb drive will
be provided with all necessary software.

When: Wednesday, May 15th, 10am-5pm. The first hour (10am – 11am) will
provide an ITK overview for those who cannot attend the whole
workshop. The rest of the workshop will be a hands-on learning
experience.
