cmtk-stream_pixels (1)

stream_pixels ImagePaths

This tool reads one or more images and writes all their pixels to standard output in binary form. Optionally, each image can be reoriented to a specified anatomical orientation and/or converted to a different data type. This is useful for piping image data through a pipeline, e.g., the Camino DTI toolkit.

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).

Main Options

--reorient <string>

Reorient all images to anatomy-based standard orientation, e.g., RAS or LPS for axial. Default: no reorientation. [Default: NONE]

--change-endian

Change endianness. Default: native endianness.

--convert

Convert data to new scalar type. Default: no conversion. Supported values: "char", "byte", "short", "ushort", "int", "uint", "float", "double", or use one of the following:

--char

8 bits, signed integer

--byte

8 bits, unsigned integer

--short

16 bits, signed integer

--ushort

16 bits, unsigned integer

--int

32 bits, signed integer

--uint

32 bits, unsigned integer

--float

32-bits, single-precision floating point

--double

64 bits, double-precision floating point
