Pythonic interface to ITK filters

Okay, I’ll ask the question slightly differently then, what are the major differences between SimpleITK and ITK’s pythonic interfaces?

• For the procedural functions, SimpleITK has custom function names created per image filter that are CamelCase, e.g. sitk.Median versus the snake_case version of the corresponding ITK filter, e.g. itk.median_image_filter
• Parameters for SimpleITK are often custom positional or camelCase, where parameters for ITK are the snake_case keyword arguments that correspond to the SetParameterName methods.
• SimpleITK supports image filters. ITK’s Pythonic functions are anything that inherits from itk.ProjectObject, i.e. mesh filters, point set filters, path filters, image filters …
