Panels and their use

Examples panel

The example panel presents two options:

  • Create sample configuration files: They can be edited and adapted to process the researcher's data. Most likely, the file containing the list of images to process (file_list_file_name) will also have to be updated before one runs the algorithm.


Module UI

The user needs to select a configuration file and the algorithm to run (unbiased atlas creation, low rank/Sparse decomposition, Low Rank Atlas Creation). The user then presses "Apply" and the result will be automatically loaded in Slicer. All the temporary images that were used and computed while the algorithm is running are saved in "result_dir" specified in the configuration file. The researcher can also specify an additional image that is not listed in the file containing the list of images. This image will be added at computation time. This is convenient for example if one needs to compute the Low Rank/Sparse decomposition of subjects one at the time, using a list of healthy control that does not need to be modified.
