maskfilter¶
Synopsis¶
maskfilter [ options ] input filter output
- input: the input image.
- filter: the type of filter to be applied (clean, connect, dilate, erode, median)
- output: the output image.
Description¶
Perform filtering operations on 3D / 4D mask images.
The available filters are: clean, connect, dilate, erode, median.
Each filter has its own unique set of optional parameters.
Options¶
Options for mask cleaning filter¶
- -scale value the maximum scale used to cut bridges. A certain maximum scale cuts bridges up to a width (in voxels) of 2x the provided scale. (Default: 2)
Options for connected-component filter¶
- -axes axes specify which axes should be included in the connected components. By default only the first 3 axes are included. The axes should be provided as a comma-separated list of values.
- -largest only retain the largest connected component
- -connectivity use 26-voxel-neighbourhood connectivity (Default: 6)
Options for dilate / erode filters¶
- -npass value the number of times to repeatedly apply the filter
Options for median filter¶
- -extent voxels specify the extent (width) of kernel size in voxels. This can be specified either as a single value to be used for all axes, or as a comma-separated list of the extent for each axis. The default is 3x3x3.
Stride options¶
- -stride spec specify the strides of the output data in memory, as a comma-separated list. The actual strides produced will depend on whether the output image format can support it.
Standard options¶
- -info display information messages.
- -quiet do not display information messages or progress status.
- -debug display debugging messages.
- -force force overwrite of output files. Caution: Using the same file as input and output might cause unexpected behaviour.
- -nthreads number use this number of threads in multi-threaded applications (set to 0 to disable multi-threading)
- -failonwarn terminate program if a warning is produced
- -help display this information page and exit.
- -version display version information and exit.
