This page is here to capture the list of modules we would like to bundle into a Slicer extension named "DeprecatedModules".

Action plan

All these modules would be added to their own git repository:

  • History should be extracted and conserved.
  • Data should be added to Midas.

Then, two approaches:

1) A git repository named "DeprecatedModulesExtension" could combine them using the "git submodule" approach".

2) The concept of meta extension could be introduced (similar to what is down with apt-get), the extension would appear in the catalog and would simply allow to install all its dependent extensions.

Jc: Approach 2 is preferred.

Modules

I propose to include all the module belonging to the CLI "Legacy" category: See also http://www.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Developer_Meetings/20130226#Listing_of_Modules

  • AffineRegistration (it's just a simple registration example, BRAINS registration provides all its functionality)
  • BSplineDeformableRegistration (it's just a simple registration example, BRAINS registration provides all its functionality)
  • BSplineToDeformationField => Needed by EMSegment; very useful in general, as the BSpline transform is not usable by external programs, but the conversion result (deformation field) can be processed and visualized in ParaView etc.
  • DiffusionTensorTest
  • ExpertAutomatedRegistration => Needed by TubeTK. - Can it be replaced by BRAINS?
  • FiducialRegistration => Replaced by Landmark Registration module and Fiducial Registration Wizard (in SlicerIGT extension)? Therefore, probably not used anymore?
  • LinearRegistration (it's just a simple registration example, BRAINS registration provides all its functionality)
  • MultiResolutionAffineRegistration
  • OtsuThresholdImageFilter
  • OtsuThresholdSegmentation
  • ResampleScalarVolume => Essential feature (typically high-resolution data is downsampled with this filter to conserve memory and increase execution speed; e.g., for registration), don't remove without replacement (or at least don't put it in an extension that collects useless modules only)
  • RigidRegistration (it's just a simple registration example, BRAINS registration provides all its functionality)
  • TestGridTransformRegistration
  • MRIBiasFieldCorrection => Essential feature for MRI registration, don't remove without replacement (or at least don't put it in an extension that collects useless modules only)

Are the following modules used:

  • MIDASApplications
  • BatchMakeApplications
