GSOC 2020 project idea 29: DIPY: Deep learning based MRI registration

Thanks alot @ShreyasFadnavis. I would definitely look into this issue

Hi @ShreyasFadnavis and @bramsh, I am Atharva Sundge a self taught programmer from India.I am familiar with Python from last 2 years and genuinely interested in Deep Learning specially CNN,so done (played) a lot with TensorFlow and also having strong background in Maths and also undrestanding.
I am interested in the project named ‘DIPY: Deep learning based MRI registration’ .I will go through all links/steps shared above by @ShreyasFadnavis and @bramsh.
Looking forwards for suggestion.
Thank you.

Hi @ShreyasFadnavis and @bramsh, I am Aryansh Omray; currently, a sophomore pursuing Computer Science & Engineering in Indian Institute of Technology, Varanasi, India. I am interested in working on this project in the GSOC program. I have a strong mathematical background and worked with Tensorflow in previous projects.
I have gone through the papers and the tutorials that were shared on this forum till now and tried to gain an understanding of the topics, including Diffeomorphic Registration and some image reconstruction models in DIPY module. I have also studied some 2D approaches in computing deformation field.
Could you please post some resources on the 3D computation of deformation field.
Thank you.

Hi @aryanshomray ! This is where I learnt most of the stuff from:

A review of deformable surfaces: topology, geometry and deformation https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0262885601000646

It gives a very good starting point to understanding things! Does this help?

Hi, my name is Adit Kotwal and I am currently a final year computer engineering student from Mumbai. I found this project idea quite interesting and would love to make some contribution. I see there is a lot of documentation in this thread and will try to implement a deep neural net.

Thank you @ShreyasFadnavis for sharing the resources. I have gone through the paper you have provided. I have started going through the code base of DIPY module. I have started designing a NN based architecture for the project. I just wanted to ask for links to some medical datasets that are relevant to the task, so that I can train and test my prototype.

Hi @aryanshomray ! For the data, I would like to know what does your architecture look like and what is the amount of data you would need for it. For instance, if you need 1 subject (3D data) to do registration, I would take the data that is already available in DIPY. Look at the tutorials for instance. If you would like to work with a larger set, let me know and I can point you to some good and easy to access data!

Hi @Adit_Kotwal! Thank you for your interest! Yes, do take a look and reach out with any questions you have :slight_smile:

@ShreyasFadnavis. Hey, thanks for all the resources you have provided. I has been great learning through all the suggestion.
I have questions about implementation.

  1. I have been working on architecture for this project idea and among the dataset in DIPY which would be better to use for the initial stage?
  2. and Is this project supposed to be stand-alone that uses the DIPY library OR the deep learning architecture will be integrated into DIPY API in this project?
  3. And is it okay If I contact you regarding deep net architecture and other stuff related to this project through your email?

Thanks again for all your resources

Hi @rahullabs! Sure! Feel free to send me the model :slight_smile:
It should be a part of DIPY (but that is trivial to integrate). That being said, we support only Tensorflow 2.0!

For the dataset, you can use any openly available datasets. See the dataset, I can suggest based on what you propose! OASIS would be a good resource to look at…

Hi @ShreyasFadnavis, Thanks alot for sharing the datasite. I have requested the access for the dataset. Additionally, I have created some pull requests, could you please take a look at them?
Thank you

Yes, looks good! an you address my recent comment on your latest PR @KUNAL_MEHTA?

Yes I have merged them into patch-7 and patch-8. The starting three PR’s I have not combined, since these were the past fixes which needed some changes and made those changes there iteself. Shall, I combine them too into one?

Hi @bramsh and @ShreyasFadnavis , I am Dibyakanti , a sophomore at IIT Guwahati. I have worked with tensorflow and have trained generative adversarial networks. I would like to contribute to this project , where should I start?

Hello Dibyakanti @D_Kumar,

There are resources and directions on how to contribute to DIPY mentioned in the comments above on this thread. Please read them.

Hi @ShreyasFadnavis and @bramsh
Is there any specific template that I should follow while creating my proposal?
