Adaptibility AutoScoper source code

Hi all,

I am currently working on a MSc Thesis project with mono-planar fluoroscopy images. A current struggle for me is accurate registration of the 3D bone models from MRI or CT to fluoroscopy images. To further optimize the tracking software and obtain high accuracy, I am considering tuning Autoscoper’s source code e.g. by adapting the optimization criteria of the registration. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this?

  • Is it feasible for ‘outsiders’ to make (minor) adjustments to the code and implement them into Autoscoper/3D Slicer environment in the timeline of a MSc thesis (3-4 months)?
  • The Gitlab code seems to consist mainly of C++ code, but also some Matlab and Python. Can the tracking software be optimzied through the latter two, or only via the C++ files?
  • And for someone who is only familiar with Matlab and Python programming: Would it take advanced knowledge of the C++ language to make ‘minor’ changes to the tracking process?

In advance thanks for the help!
