NAME

       groupwise_init - Affine initialization for groupwise registration

SYNOPSIS

       groupwise_init [options] image0 [image1 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Compute  initial  affine  alignment  for  a group of input images, which can be used as an
       input for groupwise registration

       --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
       --template <string>, -t <string>
            Input filename for pre-defined template image.  [Default: NONE]

       --output-root <string>, -O <string>
            Root directory for all output files.  [Default: NONE]

       --output <string>, -o <string>
            Output filename for groupwise registration archive.  [Default: groupwise.xforms ]

       --output-average <string>
            Output filename for registered average image.  [Default: average.nii ]

       --average-cubic
            Use cubic (rather than linear) interpolation for average image.

       --no-output-average
            Do not write average image.

       --align-centers-of-mass
            Initially align centers of mass rather than centers of bounding boxes.

       --init-scales
            Initialize scale factors using first-order moments

       --center-template
            Center aligned images in template grid field of view.

       --outputtype
            Scalar data type for the output average image.   Supported  values:  "char",  "byte",
            "short", "ushort", "int", "uint", "float", "double", where the default is "float", or
            use one of the following:

            --char
                 8 bits, signed

            --byte
                 8 bits, unsigned

            --short
                 16 bits, signed

            --ushort
                 16 bits, unsigned

            --int
                 32 bits signed

            --uint
                 32 bits unsigned

            --float
                 32 bits floating point [This is the default]

            --double
                 64 bits floating point
