RTK installation

Configuration, compilation and installation with ITK

RTK is a module of ITK, the Insight Toolkit. Follow the instructions of the ITK software guide (chapter 2 mainly) for configuring and compiling ITK. The following CMake options are RTK specific:

  • Module_RTK: Activates RTK download and compilation. Default is OFF. Turn it ON to activate RTK or compile RTK independently (see below).
  • REMOTE_GIT_TAG_RTK: Git tag for the RTK download. By default, the RTK version which is downloaded and compiled is the one given in the RTK.remote.cmake. Change this option to build another version. For example, you can change it to master to build the latest RTK version.
  • RTK_BUILD_APPLICATIONS: Activates the compilation of RTK's command line tools. Although RTK is mainly a toolkit, we also provide several command line tools for doing most of the available processing. These command line tools use gengetopt. Several examples are available on the Applications section of the wiki.
  • RTK_USE_CUDA: Activates CUDA computation. Default is ON if CMake has automatically found the CUDA package and a CUDA-compatible GPU, and OFF otherwise.
  • RTK_CUDA_PROJECTIONS_SLAB_SIZE: Set the number of projections processed at once in CUDA processing. Default is 16.
  • RTK_PROBE_EACH_FILTER: Activates the timing, CPU and CUDA memory consumption of each filter. Defaults is OFF. When activated, each filter processing is probed and a summary can be displayed. All command line applications display the result with --verbose.

RTK will automatically be installed when installing ITK.

Independent configuration and compilation

For RTK developpers, it may be useful to compile RTK independently from ITK. This is possible, simply:

  • Compile ITK with Module_RTK=OFF.
  • Manually download RTK's source repository from GitHub with git (recommended) or as a zip package.
  • Configure the project with CMake pointing to RTK's source directory and setting the CMake option ITK_DIR to ITK's compilation directory. All CMake options above can be set except Module_RTK.

Installation is currently not supported for independent RTK compilations.

Pre-compiled binaries

We only provide pre-compiled binaries for the Python package which depends on ITK. Use the following commands to install RTK module with pip.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install itk-rtk

The same operating systems and Python versions are supported as ITK's packages, see the list on Pypi.

Getting started

See GettingStarted.md. Your CMakeLists.txt can now use RTK when importing ITK as shown in the FirstReconstruction's CMakeLists.txt.
