"Open Source Software in the Development and Testing of an Image-Guided Robot System"

submitted to the Insight Journal for the ISC/NA-MIC Workshop on Open Science at MICCAI 2006
and available at http://hdl.handle.net/1926/227.

The software requires the cisst library, Version 0.3.0 or higher, available at www.cisst.org/cisst.
Additional software may be necessary depending on which modules are compiled.
The CMake cross-platform build tool (www.cmake.org) is used.

Following are the contents of this directory:

  CMakeLists.txt:   the input file for CMake

  apps\Accuracy:    source code for the Accuracy and Distances programs used for data analysis
                    SW requirements: cisst (www.cisst.org/cisst), Accuracy program also requires
                                     a netlib binary (from www.cisst.org/cisst)

  data\June23-2005: the raw data files that were analyzed to obtain the results, and a
                    batch file (RunAll.bat) to generate all results.

  libs\galil:       the Galil motion controller library
                    SW requirements: files must be downloaded from www.galilmc.com.

  libs\mskcc:       the mskccRobot library (mskccRobot.h, mskccRobot.cpp), including Python wrapping.
                    SW requirements: cisst (www.cisst.org/cisst), Swig (www.swig.org),
                                     Python (www.python.org), Galil library (www.galilmc.com)

  scripts:          Python script files used for data collection

The software has been compiled and tested in the Microsoft Windows environment,
with the Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003 compiler.
