NAME

mia-2dsegment-ahmed - Run a fuzzy c-means segmentation of a 2D image.

SYNOPSIS

mia-2dsegment-ahmed -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

mia-2dsegment-ahmed This program implements a variation of the paper:

Mohamed N. Ahmed et. al, "A Modified Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm for Bias Field estimation and Segmentation of MRI Data", IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging, Vol. 21, No. 3, March 2002,

changes are: p=2, and exp

OPTIONS

-i --in-file=(input, required); io

image to be segmented
For supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io

-o --out-file=(required, output); io

class probability images, the image type must support multiple images and floating point values
For supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io

-a --no-of-classes=3

number of classes

-b --bias-correct

apply bias field correction

-c --class-centres=

initial class centers

-s --spread=64

spread parameter describing the strength of mattar distinction

Help & Info

trace - Function call trace
debug - Debug output
info - Low level messages
message - Normal messages
warning - Warnings
fail - Report test failures
error - Report errors
fatal - Report only fatal errors

Processing

--threads=-1

Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation).

PLUGINS: 2dimage/io

bmp

BMP 2D-image input/output support. The plug-in supports reading and writing of binary images and 8-bit gray scale images. read-only support is provided for 4-bit gray scale images. The color table is ignored and the pixel values are taken as literal gray scale values.

Recognized file extensions: .BMP, .bmp

Supported element types:

binary data, unsigned 8 bit

datapool

Virtual IO to and from the internal data pool

Recognized file extensions: .@

dicom

2D image io for DICOM

Recognized file extensions: .DCM, .dcm

Supported element types:

signed 16 bit, unsigned 16 bit

exr

a 2dimage io plugin for OpenEXR images

Recognized file extensions: .EXR, .exr

Supported element types:

unsigned 32 bit, floating point 32 bit

jpg

a 2dimage io plugin for jpeg gray scale images

Recognized file extensions: .JPEG, .JPG, .jpeg, .jpg

Supported element types:

unsigned 8 bit

png

a 2dimage io plugin for png images

Recognized file extensions: .PNG, .png

Supported element types:

binary data, unsigned 8 bit, unsigned 16 bit

raw

RAW 2D-image output support

Recognized file extensions: .RAW, .raw

Supported element types:

binary data, signed 8 bit, unsigned 8 bit, signed 16 bit, unsigned 16 bit, signed 32 bit, unsigned 32 bit, floating point 32 bit, floating point 64 bit

tif

TIFF 2D-image input/output support

Recognized file extensions: .TIF, .TIFF, .tif, .tiff

Supported element types:

binary data, unsigned 8 bit, unsigned 16 bit, unsigned 32 bit

vista

a 2dimage io plugin for vista images

Recognized file extensions: .-, .V, .VISTA, .v, .vista

Supported element types:

binary data, signed 8 bit, unsigned 8 bit, signed 16 bit, unsigned 16 bit, signed 32 bit, unsigned 32 bit, floating point 32 bit, floating point 64 bit

EXAMPLE

Run a 5-class segmentation over input image input.v and store the class probability images in cls.v.

mia-2dsegment-ahmed -i input.v -a 5 -o cls.v
