Projects

* Support the ongoing VRL Group projects:
** Jadrian's brain research.
** Radu's Protein project:<br>
::Assist Radu to integrate a test and any recent code.

* Support collaborative projects.
** Wrist cartilage support for Eni and Michael.
** Migrate Win's mri pipeline to run in CIT.
** Andy Loomis and Andy Forsberg's Adviser program.

* Contribute to the design and development of the new cave. Integrate changes to vrg3d. Simplify the configuration and provide a quick start path for student projects.

* Set up public distribution of diffusion imaging data.

Infrastructure

* Manage the migration to the new file system.

* Continue to write Wiki entries as needed.

* Continue setting up third party software for students to use. Current imported packages are: blitz, cg, g3d, qt, camino, dtk, afni, nifti, vivro, vrpn, glut, and sdl.

* Extend the build system to make kits for public source and binary distributions.

* Improve support for remote development.

* Launch the Windows test system.

* Continue extend the make files to support new features such as additional third party packages.

* Upgrade migrated Linux code to work with gcc 4.3 in conjunction with the summer Debian upgrade.

* Continue to integrate any new tests written by students into nightly test runs.

* Finish integrating the new version of the Nag libraries.

Knowledge

* Learn more about the cave; particularly vrg3d software development.

* Meet (SciVis talk) with students to address any integration issues.

Explore cognitive modeling for assessing multiview visualization interfaces
* Literature review: guidelines for multiview design, evaluations of multiview visualization, cognitive science perspective on problem solving with multiple perspectives etc.
* Identify an application area (brain circuits, proteins, etc.)
* Identify tasks for user study / modeling
* Identify ways to define the similarity of models between two different visual representations
* Build a model of multiview context-switching given a certain type of task, to predict response times (and accuracy?)
* Test the model's predictions against a user study
* Aim for VisWeek publication?

Identify potential modeling projects based on visual structure for future work...
* Intrinsic quality measures of visual representations
* How decision-making is affected by visualization design
* Simple ways to define and measure the mental model of a visualization

# Write up dissertation table of contents, outline, and some hole-filled chapters by July 31st
#* Done.
# Write up departmental proposal document by September 1st
#* Initial submission on September 10th.
# Present the proposal formally to the department in October
#* Proposal presentation on October 7th.
# Define a macrostructure model and cost function
#* The committee has been very involved in refining the idea of the "cost functions" for various fitting steps. The macrostructure model has gone through several revisions and is almost done.
# Implement curve clustering using the macrostructure model; write up for ISMRM
#* {{red|Not done.}} Intended ISMRM submission on Rician noise correction turned out not to be novel, though I did learn about a ton of related work that has been quite successful.
# Extend the macrostructure cost function to include DWI values
#* {{red|Not done.}}
# Implement macrostructure adjustment from DWIs; write up for an MRM paper
#* {{red|Not done.}}
# Get preliminary histological data of some kind, either by doing it in-house, working with collaborators, or outsourcing
#* {{red|Not done.}}
# Derive a minimal set of microstructure measurements from histological data
#* {{red|Not done.}}
# Copy South Africa data from DVDs and work with Amanda to import and process it
#* All data are organized on the data server but not processed.
