AirLab is an open laboratory for medical image registration. It provides an environment for rapid prototyping and reproduction of registration algorithms. The unique feature of AirLab is, that the analytic gradients of the objective function are computed automatically with fosters rapid prototyping. In addition, the device on which the computations are performed, on a CPU or a GPU, is transparent. AirLab is implemented in Python using PyTorch as tensor and optimization library and SimpleITK for basic image IO. It profits therefore from recent advances made by the machine learning community.
We refer to our arXiv preprint 2018 for a detailed introduction of AirLab and its feature.

- Clone git repository:
git clone https://github.com/airlab-unibas/airlab.git - Make sure that following python libraries are installed:
- pytorch
- numpy
- SimpleITK
- matplotlib
They can be installed with
pip.
We recommend to start with the example applications provided in the example folder.
The convolution operation, which is frequently used in AirLab, is performed in PyTorch. Currently, its CPU implementation is quite memory consuming. In order to process larger image data a GPU is required.
The project depends on following libraries:
The project started in the Center for medical Image Analysis & Navigation research group of the University of Basel.
