v5.0.b03 Changes

January 04, 2019

🚀 We are happy to announce the Insight Toolkit (ITK) version 5 Beta 3 release! 🎉 This release celebrates the community's migration to GitHub. As a true open source project, community participation is a high priority. 🤝 Our migration to GitHub facilitates collaboration with the broader scientific open source community. 🔬

🚀 This release also includes major improvements in the areas of performance and third party libraries. A new, experimental ImageRange class enables iteration over an image's pixels in a modern, performant way. Fundamental ITK data structures were improved to enabled compiler optimizations for Plain Old Data objects. VXL was modernized to C++11, and Eigen is now available in the toolkit; ITK's gradual transition from VXL to Eigen for linear algebra has begun.

📄 In addition, four new remote modules are available, FFT's can be computed on the GPU via cuFFTW, and ITK Python's itk.imread now supports image series. More information can be found in the feature summary below.

🚀 For an overview of ITK 5's transition to modern C++, performance-related changes, and the new, Pythonic API, see the ITK 5 Alpha 1: Modern C++, ITK 5 Alpha 2: Performance, and ITK 5 Beta 1: Pythonic Interface release announcements.

GitHub Migration

GitHub now hosts the official ITK, ITKExamples, and ITKSoftwareGuide Git repositories:

The InsightSoftwareConsortium GitHub Organization is currently home to 88 other ITK-related repositories. Many of these repositories are externally developed ITK modules. If you would like create a new repository or transfer a repository to the InsightSoftwareConsortium GitHub organization, let us know on ITK's Discourse discussion forum.

Documentation on how to contribute has been updated and improved. Contribution documentation is available in the ITK Software Guide and as Markdown files in the source code repository, browsable in GitHub's web interface. Our CONTRIBUTING.md file is a starting point for contributors. We also have a Git cheatsheet for quick reference.

Our Code of Conduct describes our motivation to build impactful, open source image analysis software through a welcoming and productive community. The Code of Conduct also describes our values: to be open, welcoming, inclusive, civil and considerate, respectful, collaborative, careful in the words that we choose, responsible, and inquisitive. We expect community members to lead by example, but we also define a set of unacceptable behaviors and mechanisms to enforce conduct violations.

To guide submission of pull requests and issues, we created templates used when issues and pull requests are opened. Release notes from previous releases were migrated from the Wiki; release notes can be browsed in repository Markdown files.

🚀 Plans for upcoming releases can now be found in the project GitHub Milestones. Release artifacts will now be published on ITK's GitHub Releases as opposed to Sourceforge. Release artifact archives are now also available in the ITK data.kitware.com Girder Collection.

🔧 The ./Utilities/SetupForDevelopment.sh script now guides repository configuration for GitHub contributions. Git client-side hooks help submit a well-formatted commit message. Git aliases, review-push and pr, are provided to submit pull requests for review and download submitted pull requests for local testing.

📚 A new cross platform script, ITK/Utilities/UploadBinaryData.sh, is available to upload binary testing data. This script, invoked directly or through the data-upload alias, performs an authenticated upload to data.kitware.com and generates an ExternalData content link to avoid inflation of the source code repository's size. This script can be used to upload testing data for ITK or an externally developed module.

A static archive of our previous code review system, the http://review.source.kitware.com/ Gerrit Code Review instance, was created to preserve the code review discussions for nearly 24,000 changes on ITK and other Kitware supported projects.

🍎 Continuous integration testing ensures the continued quality and productive development of the toolkit. CircleCI and Azure Pipelines CI testing run over 2,800 regression tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows for both C++ and Python builds. Pull requests content is checked by ghostflow-director to prevent integration of large files, etc.

We now track issues in the repository's GitHub Issue Tracker. The legacy JIRA issue tracker is now read-only, and it will remain available for reference.

🐎 Performance Improvements

A new, experimental ImageRange class provides range-based iteration over the pixels of an itk::Image.
The Rule of Five was applied to basic data structures like itk::FixedArray, itk::Point, itk::Vector so they satify std::is_trivial and std::is_standard_layout. This is now also tested. This enables compiler optimizations and moves.
ResampleImageFilter::CastPixelWithBoundsChecking is now faster.
Data copies in itk::BSplineTransform were reduced.
⚡️ The number of evaluations in line search optimizer were reduced by half.

⚡️ Third Party Updates

0️⃣ The Eigen linear algebra third party library is now available as an ITK module, and it is enabled by default.
⚡️ VXL was updated to require C++11 and use modern C++ syntax
⚡️ GDCM, Zlib and GIFTI were updated to the latest upstream.

      ENH: Update itkNaryFunctorImageFilter

v5.0.b02 Changes
December 19, 2018
🚀 This release was superseded by ITK 5.0 Beta 3 due to Visual Studio build errors.

v5.0.b01 Changes

September 11, 2018

🚀 We are happy to announce the first beta release for ITK 5. This release features an additional, more Pythonic interface to filters. This interface is more familiar in Python and facilitates rapid prototyping. ITK 5.0 Beta 1 also includes many performance-related improvements, such as a pure C++11 thread pool by default, an HDF5 update to 1.10, new frequency domain iterators, new neighborhood range classes, and a new multi-dimensional, multi-component superpixel class.

🚀 For an overview of ITK 5 performance-related changes and the transition to modern C++, see the ITK 5 Alpha 1: Modern C++ and ITK 5 Alpha 2: Performance release announcements.

Python Interface

⚡️ The traditional, object-oriented interface to ITK's Python classes allows the composition of filters in a pipeline. After setting up a chain of filters, Update() is called at the end of the pipeline. This facilitates streaming of very large images that may exceed the system's memory capacity. For example,

import itk input\_image = itk.imread('input.nrrd') ImageType = type(input\_image) radius = 2median\_filter = itk.MedianImageFilter[ImageType, ImageType].New() median\_filter.SetInput(input\_image) median\_filter.SetRadius(radius) median\_filter.Update() output\_image = median\_filter.GetOutput() itk.imwrite(output\_image, 'output.nrrd')

While powerful, this interface is verbose.

A procedural interface is now available with PEP8-compliant snake case naming of all filters that inherit from itk.ProcessObject. For example,

import itk input\_image = itk.imread('input.nrrd') radius = 2output\_image = itk.median\_image\_filter(input\_image, radius=radius) itk.imwrite(output\_image, 'output.nrrd')

In this case, the type of the filter is implicitly determined by the input image type. Immediately, the filter is executed, and the result is directly returned. Object parameters defined by Set* methods can be specified in the filter call with keyword arguments. The Pythonic, snake case form of these parameters can also be used.

PEP8 function naming has also been applied to the NumPy bridge.

array = itk.GetArrayFromImage(image)

array = itk.array_from_image(image)

Similar functions names are available when creating NumPy array views, itk.Image's from NumPy arrays, and converting VNL vector and matrices to NumPy arrays.

📦 To test the 5.0 Beta 1 Python packages, run

python -m pip install --upgrade pip python -m pip install --upgrade --pre itk

🐎 Performance Improvements

🐎 Based on experiences since initial changes introduced in ITK 5 Alpha 2, many notable performance improvements have been made.

0️⃣ The default thread pool is now fully backed by C++11 threading primitives.
A new itk::MultiThreaderBase::ParallelizeArray function is available to quickly and easily dispatch C++11 lamda's or std::function's on linearly indexed containers, similar to itk::MultiThreaderBase::ParallelizeImageRegion for operating on N-dimensional image regions.
A new itk::MultiThreaderBase::ParallelizeImageRegionRestrictDirection function is available to prevent splitting an image region over a given direction.
🏗 SetNumberOfThreads has been renamed to SetNumberOfWorkUnits to more accurately reflect configuration of work unit granularity, especially in the context of the Threading Building Blocks (TBB) backend.
Progress reporting with multiple parallel operations is enabled with a new itk::ProgressTransformer class.
📚 A large corpus of code has been transitioned ITK 5, and the process is now relatively straight forward and well documented. Please see the ITK 5 Migration Guide for more information.

💅 Style changes

📚 Classes in the C++11 standard library are now preferred over ITK's implementations. This includes atomic integers, mutex locks and related classes, and hash maps. For more information, please see the migration guide.

🆕 New Classes

A set of new iterators and a band pass filter are available in a new ITKImageFrequency module. These classes help when operating in the dual domain and with the output of FFT's. More details are available in this Insight Journal article.
New, experimental ShapedImageNeighborhoodRange, HyperrectangularImageNeighborhoodShape classes are available, providing modern, C++ range operations and high performance.
A new Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) super-pixel segmentation filter is available. This implementation improves or the original algorithm by supporting arbitrary dimensions, multi-component images, and a parallized implementation. More details are available in the Insight Journal article.

👀 Visible Human superpixel segmentation. A 2D slice of 3D superpixel. For more information, see the Insight Journal article, Scalable Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SSLIC) Using a Generic and Parallel Approach, Lowekamp, B et al, http://hdl.handle.net/1926/3596.

What's Next

🚑 There are many more bug fixes and critical improvements not mentioned above. For more details, please see the change log below. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this release.

🚀 Please discuss your experiences on Discourse. The community has been quite active in testing and improving these changes for the next major release of ITK. Another beta release is planned for the October-November time period.

v5.0.a02 Changes

May 28, 2018

🐎 Major improvements in ITK 5.0 include a switch to C++11 language standard, improved performance, and cleanup of legacy code. More information about the C++11 transition, spearheaded by Hans Johnson, can be read in the ITK 5.0 Alpha 1 announcement.

🐎 ITK 5.0 Alpha 2 emphasizes performance improvements: 1) A refactored multithreading infrastructure, 2) in ITK 5, a thread pool is available by default, 3) an Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) threading backend with dynamic region splitting, 4) improved image iterator performance, 5) simple APIs to execute functions in parallel, 6) simple construction of unary and binary generator image filters filters, and 7) new, experimental C++11 range classes for iteration in range-based for loops.

There are now two multi-threaded "GenerateData" method signatures. The classic one, ThreadedGenerateData, is kept when a filter needs to know in advance the number of pieces into which the requested region will be split. This information was previously used by some filters to allocate intermediate, thread-local data. The new dynamic signature, DynamicThreadedGenerateData, allows the region to be split dynamically in response to data content and multi-processor load to achieve load balancing. Presently, only the TBB backend performs dynamic splitting. More information can be found in the Multi-Threading section of in The ITK Software Guide. Instructions that describe changes required to leverage dynamic parallelism in external filters can be found in the migration guide. Most existing ITK-based codes will build with minimal to no modifications required.

An itk::PoolMultiThreader is the default in ITK 5, which provides a thread pool for platform native threads. The itk::PlatformMultiThreader is also available, which behaves like the previous itk::MultiThreader class.

Our multi-threading refactoring enables better load balancing for filters with variable per-pixel computation cost. As TBB is one of the best open source libraries for load-balanced threading, it was an easy choice. The itk::TBBMultiThreader can be enabled by setting Module_ITKTBB to ON in ITK's CMake configuration.

🐎 Most methods in neighborhood iterators were virtual, but this was a rarely-used feature. That virtualization is now a configure-time parameter, and it is off by default. This significantly improves performance of filters which utilize neighborhood iterators. More information can be found in the Discourse discussion.

📚 A ParallelizeImageRegion method allows multi-threaded processing without writing a full-blown filter class. As evident in this example, multiple parallelized operations of arbitrary complexity can now be concisely specified and executed with C++11 lamda's or std::function's.

The new itk::UnaryGeneratorImageFilter and itk::BinaryGeneratorImageFilter's allow per-pixel operations to be specified in several ways: 1) traditional "Functor", with operator(), 2) C++11 lambda functions, with closures, 3) C++11 std::function 4) C-style function pointers.

New, experimental classes for C++11 iteration in range-based for loops, e.g. itk::Experimental::ShapedImageNeighborhoodRange, provide a modern, convenient syntax for image pixel iteration, and dramatic performance improvements.

Furthmore, ITK 5 improves performance by leveraging Rvalue references to implement move semantics and perfect forwarding.

🐎
🐎 ITK 5 Performance Benchmark Improvements ITK Performance Benchmarks, lower is better, for ITK 4.13.0, ITK 5.0 Alpha 2 with the platform thread pool, and ITK 5.0 Alpha 2 with TBB. ITK 5.0 advances performance in general, especially with the TBB threading backend.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the major advancements made in the ITK 5 performance refactoring. Special recognition goes to Dženan Zukić, Kitware, who lead the refactoring effort. Contributions were also made by Jared Vicory, Robert Maynard, Francois Budin, Matt McCormick, Pablo Hernandez-Cerdan, Kitware, Jonathan Lefman, formerly of Intel, Bradley Lowekamp, associated with the National Library of Medicine, Hans Johnson, the University of Iowa, Simon Warfield, Benoit Scherrer, Rene-Paul Debroize, Amir Jaberzadeh, and Etienne St-Onge, Boston's Children's Hospital. The TBB-refactoring was inspired by the TBBImageToImageFilter, which was supported in part by the Intel Parallel Computing Center at the Computational Radiology Laboratory, Boston Children's Hospital. Bradley Lowekamp contributed the itk::UnaryGeneratorImageFilter and itk::BinaryGeneratorImageFilter filters. Neils Dekker, Leiden University Medical Center, contributed the new range classes.

🛠 There were many other improvements and bug fixes since 5.0 Alpha 1. For example, addition of .editorconfig, prominent placement of .clang-format, addition of ITK-specific debug visualizers for Visual Studio versions 2012-2017 improve editing and debugging experience in Visual Studio.

📦 To test the ITK 5.0 Alpha 2 Python packages, run

python -m pip install --upgrade pip python -m pip install --upgrade --pre itk

🚀 Note: there are a few warnings that appear when using the wrapping. These will be addressed with the next release.

🚀 The next planned release, ITK 5.0 RC1, will focus on the transition of code review process to GitHub.
