Virtual Radiograph Generation Module

[NicerNewerCar]

Static 3DCT Radiograph generation support

• This PR enables the support of virtual radiograph (VRG) generation of static 3DCT volumes
• Allows for VRG generation to use either manually placed cameras (markup fiducials) or automatically optimized cameras
• Adds CalculateDataIntensityDensity CLI module
  • For evaluating each VRG
• Adds VirtualRadiographGeneration CLI module
  • For rendering a VRG using VTK
• Updates the pre-processing tab to use the above CLI modules
  • See documentation PR Update pre-processing tutorial with VRG information Autoscoper#202
• After this is integrated two follow-up PRs will be opened
  • To add a CLI module to perform segmentation
  • To add support for Sequential 3DCT and 4DCT

Final ToDo:

• Update version of Autoscoper used once the following PRs have been merged over there:
  • VTK Camera Loader Autoscoper#147
  • Update pre-processing tutorial with VRG information Autoscoper#202
• Better support for getting output from CLI modules (ie not just reading the output) -> See CLI Node Improvements #55
• Better event handlers for CLI modules -> See CLI Node Improvements #55

Awesome, all tabs tested with PRE PROC LEFT Hop Knee .

Already fixed see #52

On launch:

Where did we land with the batch generation of multiple volumes? For a given series of 3d volumes- we'll want to process and create a cfg

I think it makes the most sense to include the 3d series with the 4DCT PR since Slice represents them with the same data structure.

The auto cam placement seems to have stalled/crashed at 40%:

[NicerNewerCar]

Fixed the stalling, with the auto placement.

Local build reports the following:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:56 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "CalculateDataIntensityDensity" which is not
  an existing directory.

I am addressing the issues

calculateDataIntensityDensity -> CalculateDataIntensityDensity
virtualRadiographGeneration -> VirtualRadiographGeneration

[jcfr]

Renamed modules:

• calculateDataIntensityDensity -> CalculateDataIntensityDensity
• virtualRadiographGeneration -> VirtualRadiographGeneration

Rename VirtualRadiographGeneration parameters:

• outputFName -> outputFileName
• width -> outputWidth
• height -> outputHeight

Update check of CalculateDataIntensityDensity parameters to be consistent with how CalculateDataIntensityDensity are checked.

Since the CLI are not directly used, I also suggest to move the CLI modules into a called Tracking.Advanced:

How does that sound ?

Makes sense, I think that's fine.

@jcfr Just a couple of notes the CLI variable names, once those are address I think this is good to go
