SlicerSALT 5.0: Summary, Highlights and Changelog

The SlicerSALT team is proud to announce that version 5.0 is now available for download. This release introduces new features as well as bug fixes for better performance and stability. This release of SlicerSALT includes a lot of features that concentrate in the visualization and analysis of sequential, 3D geometries (4D shape analysis). The development of SlicerSALT is supported by the NIH National Institute of Biomedical Imaging Bioengineering R01EB021391 (Shape Analysis Toolbox for Medical Image Computing Projects).


Shape Population Viewer module’s enhanced functionality for the visualization of 4D shapes. The user only needs to provide a folder containing meshes of the 4D objects, both boundary or skeletal representations. SPV’s interface includes controls that help animate through the sequence of 3D geometries.

Changelog

Features

Hierarchical Geodesic Modeling module, for the computation and visualization/analysis of longitudinal shape models using geodesic based shape modeling.

S-rep Hypothesis Testing module, for the calculation of hypothesis testing specially designed for the richer geometry captured by S-reps.

Surface Learner module, for the application of Deep Learning-based Image Classifiers on surface data without any coding.

Updated functionality in our Skeletal Representation modules, now including a way to serialize the computation of s-reps in a large dataset via the SlicerPipelines functionality.

Updated functionality in Shape Population Viewer, that allows the visualization of 4D geometries.

Fixes

Updates to the Registration Based Correspondence module, that now includes a way to customize the number of iterations needed for the correspondence establishment.

Crash fixes and stability

Fixes to windows packaging

Deprecation of Fortran and LAPACK

Fixes to GROUPS for SPHARM correspondence optimization

when I open a mesh.then open it’s fiducial in the shapepopulationviewer , the slicersalt 5.0 crash.how I can put the fiducial on the mesh in the shapepopulationviewer like the picture2.please help me


@bpaniagua please help me to explain the question

Hi @lili-yu22 how do you compute the mesh that you open as fiducials in SPV? Could you provide more details about what module generated that data within SlicerSALT?

the mesh computed from SPHARM—PDM Generator.when I load the spharm.vtk.then import fiducial files which contain landmarks.every mesh have sample _fid.fscv.but I cant through above pictures getting the following pictures.thanks

Can you take snapshots of the spharm mesh and the fiducials?

Assuming that when you say “load” you mean in SPV.

What are the “above pictures”? Do you mean the instructions in the tutorial?

I load the condyle mesh(spharm.vtk) in the SPV.then I open Fiducial files like the picture 1.I thought I would get the figure I circled and marked in Picture 2, but I didn’t.My Fiducial files contain the landmark as I am presenting now

The only thing that is missing from the second picture you shared from the tutorials is the coloring of your geometry. Is this what you mean? Also, you are showing the 3D view of the Slicer interface, not SPV. Please, correct me if I am wrong!

no,when I open a mesh *spharm.vtk in SPV then open it’s fiducia like the picture in 3D view of the Slicer interface,then the slicersalt 5.0 crash.why I can’t load fiducial in the SPVlike the second picture i shared from the tutorials .thanks
