MINC Tool Kit

This toolkit contains most of the commonly used minc tools in one precompiled 32 and 64bit binary packages of Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat and Mac OS X. It includes most of the standard minc tools, Display, Register and a basic image processing pipeline based on the one developed for NIHPD project (standard_pipeline.pl) Everything is currently installed in /opt/minc/VERSION , to avoid conflict with standard /usr/local/bic location.

Using

Running test suite

Currently Broken Test data is installed in /opt/minc/share/testsuite/. To run the test, execute /opt/minc/run_tests.sh <prefix>, it will take around an hour on a modern PC, the output will be in <prefix>/00200 and <prefix>/00201 and the log file will be saved in <prefix>/minc-toolkit-test-<date>.log. The results of the local test will be compared to a file containing the results from a baseline test to determine if the tools have been installed and run correctly.

Building from the source
