Hello all –
Sharing a few pix that follow up from last week’s icon discussion. Simplifications of icons shown below for Light and Dark themes – Mockups of SliceViewers and then the set of icons for both themes. These contain a few experiments for label maps… trying to figure out a way to represent them as distinct from segmentation.

I will join late tomorrow but welcome any comments and suggestions.
Cheers!

Meeting Notes

SOFA

  • LapGym Overview: LapGym is an open-source framework designed for Reinforcement Learning (RL) in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. More information can be found at the official SOFA Framework website.

  • Paul’s Post-Doc: Paul is set to begin a post-doctoral position at Johns Hopkins, which could lead to further research and collaboration opportunities.

  • Potential Applications: There are potential applications for SlicerHeart in conjunction with SOFA and LapGym, which should be explored further.

NVAPI Integration

MorphoDepot

  • GitHub Integration: We discussed how to map GitHub operations to the collaborative segmentation process within MorphoDepot. Existing GitHub credentials support, particularly the SlicerWizard’s GithubHelper.py, may be reused for this purpose.

New Icons Proposal

  • Slice Viewer Icon Review: The proposal for new slice viewer icons was reviewed, as detailed in the Slicer Discourse thread. Key points include:

    • Concept Clarification: A clear differentiation between “view” and “volume” was discussed, with the suggestion to consistently represent “view” using the color green.

    • Label Map Visibility: A proposal was made to hide the label map row if no label map is loaded in the scene.

    • Blending Options: To better support the visualization of non-overlapping volumes, making blending optional was suggested.

Here is a proposed implementation by @Davide_Punzo :pray: :rocket:
