Synopsis

Modify the intensities of one image to match the histogram of another

Usage

mrhistmatch [ options ]  type input target output
  • type: type of histogram matching to perform; options are: scale,linear,nonlinear

  • input: the input image to be modified

  • target: the input image from which to derive the target histogram

  • output: the output image

Options

Image masking options

  • -mask_input image only generate input histogram based on a specified binary mask image

  • -mask_target image only generate target histogram based on a specified binary mask image

Non-linear histogram matching options

  • -bins num the number of bins to use to generate the histograms

Standard options

  • -info display information messages.

  • -quiet do not display information messages or progress status; alternatively, this can be achieved by setting the MRTRIX_QUIET environment variable to a non-empty string.
