Introduction

This repository contains the source code of the tools needed for our gradle framework that aims at deriving a multilinear tongue model from a given MRI data set. Have a look at our paper to learn more about the background.

Installation

You can install each tool individually by using the cmake files in the respective subdirectory. However, you are also able to install them all at once from the root directory.

Requirements

Please make sure that the following libraries and tools are available:

• A C++ compiler that can handle C++11 code, e.g., GCC (since version 4.8.1) or Clang (since version 3.3).
• ann
• armadillo
• cmake
• gtkmm-3.0
• jsoncpp
• pkg-config
• cairomm-1.0
• itk
• yaml-cpp

On Ubuntu, for example, you can install all dependencies by executing the following command:

apt-get install \
    build-essential \
    libann-dev \
    libarmadillo-dev \
    cmake \
    libjsoncpp-dev \
    pkg-config \
    libgtkmm-3.0-dev \
    libcairomm-1.0-dev \
    libinsighttoolkit4-dev \
    libyaml-cpp-dev

On OSX with Homebrew, install the dependencies with

brew install \
    armadillo \
    jsoncpp \
    ann \
    cairomm \
    insighttoolkit \
    vtk \
    gtkmm3 \
    yaml-cpp

Installation Process

In order to install all tools, perform the following steps:

• configuration, adapt the installation path if needed

cmake CMakeLists.txt -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/usr

• installation

make install

Documentation

Documentation about the individual tools is available in their respective folders. The dataFormats folder contains information about the various data formats used by our tools.
