NAME
mia-3dsegment-local-cmeans - Run a c-means segmentation of a 3D image.
SYNOPSIS
mia-3dsegment-local-cmeans -i <in-file> [options]
DESCRIPTION
mia-3dsegment-local-cmeans This program runs the segmentation of a 3D image by applying a localized c-means approach that helps to overcome intensity inhomogeneities in the image. The approach evaluates a global c-means clustering, and then separates the image into overlapping regions where more c-means iterations are run only including the locally present classes, i.e. the classes that relatively contain more pixels than a given threshold. This program implements algorithm described in:
OPTIONS
File-IO
-i --in-file=(required, input); io
image to be segmented
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
-o --out-file=(output); io
class label image based on
merging local labels
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
-G --out-global-crisp=(output); io
class label image based on
global segmentation
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io
-C --class-prob=(output); io
class probability image file,
filetype must support floating point multi-frame images
For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io

Parameters
-g --grid-spacing=15; int in [3, inf)
Spacing of the grid used to modulate the intensity inhomogeneities
-c --cmeans=kmeans:nc=3
c-means initializer
For supported plugins see PLUGINS:1d/cmeans
-e --c-means-epsilon=0.0001; float in (0, inf)
c-means breaking condition for update tolerance
-t --relative-cluster-threshold=0.02; double in [0, 1)
threshhold to ignore classes when initializing the local cmeans from the global one.
-B --ignore-background
Don’t take background probablities into account when desiding whether classes are to be ignored
-L --label-threshold=0; float in [0, 1]
for values <= 0.5: create segmentation based on highest class probability, labels start at 0. For values >0.5: create labels only for voxels with a class probability higher than the given value, labels start at 1 and voxels without an according class probability are set to 0; this output is suitable for the seeded watershed filter.
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).
