average_images(1) The Computational Morphometry Toolkit average_images(1)

NAME

average_images - Average images

SYNOPSIS

average_images [options] image0 ...

DESCRIPTION

This tool computes pixelwiase average, variance, standard deviation, z-score, or entropy images from a list of user-provided intensity images.

OPTIONS

Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

Write list of basic command line options to standard output.
Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.
Write list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup.
Write man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output.
Write toolkit version to standard output.
Write the current command line to standard output.
Set verbosity level.
Increment verbosity level by 1 (deprecated; supported for backward compatibility).
Set maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP).

Main Options

Mode of averaging operation Supported values: "avg", "var", "stdev", "zscore", "entropy", where the default is "avg", or use one of the following:
Compute average (i.e., mean) image [This is the default]
Compute variance image
Compute standard deviation image
Compute z-score image
Compute pixel-by-pixel population entropy image

Data Preprocessing

Apply log to input data
Use absolute input values
Normalize image intensities using means and standard deviations
Define padding value in input images [Default: disabled]

Output Options

Output file name [Default: average.nii ]
Scalar data type of output image. Supported values: "float", "double", where the default is "float", or use one of the following:
Single-precision float. [This is the default]
Double-precision float.
