SYNOPSIS

mia-2dseriesgradvariation -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

mia-2dseriesgradvariation Given a set of images of temporal sucession, this program evaluates the gradient variation of the pixel-wise time-intensity curves of this series. If the input image set provides a segmentation, then this segmentation can be used to create a bounding box and restrict evaluation to this box.

OPTIONS

-i --in-file=(input,required)

input segmentation set

-o --out-file=(output,required)

output file name For supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io

-k --skip=0

Skip files at the beginning

-e --enlarge-boundary=5

Enlarge cropbox by number of pixels

-c --crop

crop image before running statistics
