Maverick

Overview

Maverick is an extensive collection of C++ classes, parameter files, specifications, and documentation for the following:

1. Building applications that vary in specificity from workflow-based applications to general-purpose applications.
   1. Workflow-based applications allow a user to rapidly apply a sequence of filters in a prescribed manner in order to solve specific problems with minimal interaction.
   2. General-purpose applications offer a user a multitude of filtering options at any point in time, so that the user can investigate a wide range of problems and solutions from within the same application.
2. Using an intuitive scene-based data structure to manage the objects to be viewed and processed by an application
   1. Hierarchies of images, segmentation results, landmarks, and more can be created and manipulated as members of a scene
   2. Physical and visual properties can be associated with each of those objects
   3. QT-based rendering widgets can display objects or entire scenes using any combination of themes and formats (e.g., using volume rendering, surface rendering, and overlays in 3D views, slice-based views, lighbox views, and more).
3. Applying advanced ITK and VTK frameworks as Maverick Modules that were built by image analysis experts and that hide the complexities of ITK and VTK.

Several full-featured applications and utility programs are also provided with Maverick. Those are described in the following wiki pages.
