average_images(1) The Computational Morphometry Toolkit average_images(1)
NAME
average_images - Average images
SYNOPSIS
average_images [options] image0 ...
DESCRIPTION
This tool computes pixelwiase average, variance, standard deviation, z-score, or entropy images from a list of user-provided intensity
images.
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).
Main Options
--mode
Mode of averaging operation Supported values: "avg", "var", "stdev", "zscore", "entropy", where the default is "avg", or use one of
the following:
--avg
Compute average (i.e., mean) image [This is the default]
--var
Compute variance image
--stdev
Compute standard deviation image
--zscore
Compute z-score image
--entropy
Compute pixel-by-pixel population entropy image
Data Preprocessing
--log, -l
Apply log to input data
--abs, -a
Use absolute input values
--normalize-mean-stdev, -n
Normalize image intensities using means and standard deviations
--set-padding-value <double>
Define padding value in input images [Default: disabled]
Output Options
--outfile-name <string>, -o <string>
Output file name [Default: average.nii ]
--type
Scalar data type of output image. Supported values: "float", "double", where the default is "float", or use one of the following:
--float
Single-precision float. [This is the default]
--double
Double-precision float.
