NAME

sba - Shape-based Averaging of label images

SYNOPSIS

sba InputImageVector

DESCRIPTION

Average segmentations (label fields) using the Euclidean Distance Transform. All input images must be in the same space. EDT is computed in this space also. See http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TIP.2006.884936 for details of the underlying algorithm.

OPTIONS

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

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

Input Options

--num-labels <integer>, -n <integer>
Number of labels. It is assumed that only values [0..num] occur in the images [Default: 0]
--padding <float>, -p <float>
Padding value in input image [Default: disabled]

Label Combination Options

--exclude-outliers, -x
Exclude local outliers in the shape-based averaging algorithm. Outliers at each pixel are defined as those input images for which the distance from the nearest pixel with the current label exceeds thresholds computed from the set of distances over all inputs.

Output Options

--output <string>, -o <string>
File name for output segmentation file. [Default: sba.nii ]
