Dear all

 

In preparation for the meeting this afternoon, Evgueni and me have moved some functionality to a “library” part of the pseudo-code document at http://1drv.ms/1Qt4Q1B, and converted some pseudo-code examples to use this functionality. At present, the old version of each example is still there. Can the original authors please check if the new version still encapsulates what they intended?

 

We’ve done this mostly for the PET side, as I’m not so familiar with MR of course. We’ll have to tackle the MR code during the meeting.

 

For those attending the meeting, please review the current state of the document before the start. You can still add comments of course (if you have time).  However, can everyone who’s editing the document please close it before the meeting. (We had some slow-down when saving during the last meeting).

 

And by the way, we won’t server lunch this time. sorry!

 

Looking forward to a constructive meeting

 

Kris

 

PS: our website is still somewhat out-of-date, partly due to paternity leave. We hope to move next month to a CMS system to allow faster updating to the web-site.

Dear all

 

Our pseudo-code document has grown considerably over the last few days with a strong MR push. It starts to become a bit more useful I think J There is some overlap between use-cases, but I think that’s alright, as long as “uniformise” them. Do have another look. One thing to look out for as to try to spot similarities between PET and MR, such that ideally we can make the code (or at least look-and-feel) quite similar for both.

 

Regarding coding style, please try to stick to a “somewhat object oriented like” programming style, such as

 

                ; create a forward projector with some parameters

ForwardProjector projector(params);

; now use it to project an image

                data=projector.forward_project (image);

 

There are some comments in the file that need addressing, so if you wrote some code, please have a look at what you wrote to see what others think.

 

We’ll try to occasionally clean this up a bit, and incorporate more functionality in the basic library.

 

The more contributions and comments we get, the better.

 

Looking forward to a productive meeting on Tuesday!

 

Thanks

Kris

Dear all

 

We had a good second software meeting where we discussed the User Specification Document which is now in its final form http://1drv.ms/1eTOOjF.

 

Our next software framework meeting (#3) is on Tuesday, 6 October 2015 from 14:00 to 17:00 (BST).

Location is Hardy Room, http://demorganhouse.org.uk/ 

De Morgan House

57-58 Russell Square

London WC1B 4HS

Please register at:

In our third meeting we will discuss a second document to define the framework using pseudo-code http://1drv.ms/1Qt4Q1B. This document is currently slowly growing and we need everyone’s help. There’s a description of the aim of the document and the procedure to contribute in the document itself.
