VISIBLE HUMAN PROJECT IMAGE PROCESSING TOOLS Release Date: April 1, 1999 RFP AVAILABLE: NLM-99-103/DJH P.T. National Library of Medicine The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is seeking competitive proposals to develop an application programmer interface (API) and first implementation of a Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (SRT). The resulting system should be suitable for computer assisted exploration of the NLM Visible Human Project (VHP) Male and Female data sets. The final deliverable product of this SRT version is to be beyond a beta prototype stage, compatible for direct insertion into the public domain via internet access through the NLM. The goal of this initiative is to create a self-sustaining code development effort to support image analysis research in segmentation, classification, and deformable registration of medical images. The design should include future expansion to parallel implementations and large memory requirements. The final delivery version will be required to be engineered to accommodate change by periodic and incremental modifications. It is anticipated that Request for Proposals (RFP) NLM-99-103/DJH will be available on or about April 2, 1999. RFP NLM-99-103/DJH will be available in electronic format only.
