Immediate Action Items:

• Ahmet
  • Disseminate oks008 MR image sets.
  • Review specifications on registration to evaluate Connor's contributions.
  • Review specification on patellofemoral contact pressure analysis.
  • Provide a sample patellofemoral joint kinematics/kinetics file.
• Craig
  • Meet with summer students to go over convergence optimization wiki and describe workflow.
  • Provide sample MR images for oks008 in the relevant wiki page.
• Snehal
  • Complete notes section of June 9, 2015 meeting.
  • Test all tissue types at 20%/s to evaluate the capacity for a simplified testing scheme (for next two weeks).
• Robb
  • Conduct post-experiment calibration of pressure sensor used for oks008 testing.
• Connor
  • Start segmenting registration markers
  • Develop script to accommodate transformation between probed patella registration marker points and sphere centers.
• Diana
