- NiftyMatch for feature detection and (placental) mosaicing (part of GIFT-Nav)
- Fully documented the codebase.
- Started investigating support for a MATLAB API. This will enable broader use of NiftyMatch after it’s been open-sourced.
- Automated software deployment system
- The system is in use on the Storz cart (fetoscopes).
- It will ensure that GIFT-Surg software is continuously demo-ready with an up-to-date version with the newest features on this device.
- Data sharing and collaboration
- Presented our development efforts for GIFT-Cloud to fellow researchers within the Translational Imaging Group. This is in the context of an attempt to unify the efforts of different sub-groups working with similar technologies for data sharing and to identify possible areas of collaboration.
- Held a meeting with Rick Herrick from Washington University School of Medicine, who is the chief developer of XNAT. We are in the process of contributing the new features we have developed back to the XNAT community.
- Continued development work for GIFT-Cloud. In particular, investigated issues on the server-side that prevent quality-control images from being generated.
- Test servers
- Finished setting up our two new test servers GIFT-Gala and GIFT-Adélie.
- These will ensure we support cross-platform deployments of our software on popular operating systems.
