Plan/Expected Challenges/PublicationTeam
Accomplished by end of Programming Week
ITK FITSIO now reads in multi-dimensionalimage from FITS file.
Skeleton code for reading headers
Still need physical to data unit conversion
Expected Date for Insight Journal Publication: September ‘06..
2006 Summer PrWeek
Plan: Build simple ITK reader for FITS that imports a multi-dimensional data volume and associated metadata into ITK. Build in hooks to support interpretation of headers to provide world coordinate system conversion.
Challenges: Handling dimensionless and non-rectilinear coordinate systems (although this issue can be deferred).
