sh2peaks

Synopsis

Extract the peaks of a spherical harmonic function at each voxel, by commencing a Newton search along a set of specified directions

Usage

sh2peaks [ options ]  SH output
  • SH: the input image of SH coefficients.
  • output: the output image. Each volume corresponds to the x, y & z component of each peak direction vector in turn.

Options

  • -num peaks the number of peaks to extract (default: 3).
  • -direction phi theta the direction of a peak to estimate. The algorithm will attempt to find the same number of peaks as have been specified using this option.
  • -peaks image the program will try to find the peaks that most closely match those in the image provided.
  • -threshold value only peak amplitudes greater than the threshold will be considered.
  • -seeds file specify a set of directions from which to start the multiple restarts of the optimisation (by default, the built-in 60 direction set is used)
  • -mask image only perform computation within the specified binary brain mask image.

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.
