MITK IGT ReleaseNotes 2015.05

The MITK 2015.03 release comes together with a source code release of the module and plugins for image guided therapy (MITK-IGT) including many bug fixes and new features.

• OpenIGTLink: MITK now includes an experimental version of the OpenIGTLink module (UI support is planned for the next release)

• Easy cmake configurations: If you want to build the IGT modules, you'll have to build OpenCV and OpenIGTLink during the superbuild. For an easy configuration, simply select for the MITK_BUILD_CONFIGURATION variable the option "mitkNavigationModules" (advanced settings). This will build all modules needed for the usage of MITK-IGT.

• NavigationDataReader / -writer:

     NavigationDataReader-/Writerumstrukturierung -> Keno Fragen
     Neu NavigationDataSet

• NavigationDataSet:

• Virtual Tacker: The virtual tacker has now UI-Support (previously, it existed only as a class)

• ToF: Kinect 2 is now supported

• Hardware support: All supported and partly supported hardware can now be found in the new Hardware list (see Hardware_Support)

• Persistence: The persistence for the IGT- and US-plugin has improved, especially for the tools in the tracking toolbox.

• Polaris: The NDI Polaris' tracking rate can now be easily configured in the IGT Tracking Toolbox plugins GUI.

• The Tracking Toolboxes "Options" tab now includes options to set different logging and render update rates or to disable rendering, or even all timers entirely.
