mtbin

Synopsis

Multi-Tissue Bias field correction and Intensity Normalisation (WARNING: deprecated).

Usage

mtbin [ options ]  input output [ input output ... ]
  • input output: list of all input and output tissue compartment files. See example usage in the description. Note that any number of tissues can be normalised

Description

WARNING: this command is deprecated and may produce highly inappropriate results in several cases. Not recommended and at your own discretion. Please use the new mtnormalise command instead for reliable results.

Options

  • -mask image define the mask to compute the normalisation within. This option is mandatory.
  • -value number specify the value to which the summed tissue compartments will be normalised to (Default: sqrt(1/(4*pi)) = 0.282094)
  • -bias image output the estimated bias field
  • -independent intensity normalise each tissue type independently
  • -maxiter number set the maximum number of iterations. Default(100). It will stop before the max iterations if convergence is detected
  • -check image check the final mask used to compute the bias field. This mask excludes outlier regions ignored by the bias field fitting procedure. However, these regions are still corrected for bias fields based on the other image data.
  • -override consciously use this deprecated command. Not recommended and at your own discretion.

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.
