The Image Registration Toolkit (IRTK)

The IRTK is a research-focused image processing toolkit, developed and used by the BioMedIA research group. It provides a collection of libraries and command-line tools to assist in processing and analysing imaging data.

Installation

The IRTK requires CMake to build the binaries and Doxygen to generate the documentation. Please read the accompanying installation instructions for a step-by-step guide and a list of required and optional dependencies.
