NAME

       SurfaceCurvature - part of ANTS registration suite

DESCRIPTION

              This  implements The Shape Operator for Differential Analysis of Images (google for the pdf) By B.
              Avants and J.C. Gee Documentation is on demand --- if there is enough interest, documentation will
              improve.  There are several modes of operation and you must try parameters and input either binary
              or gray scale images to see the different effects ---- experimentation or  reading  the  (minimal)
              documentation  /   paper  /  code  is  needed  to understand the program usage :  SurfaceCurvature
              FileNameIn FileNameOut sigma option e.g  :   SurfaceCurvature    BrainIn.nii BrainOut.nii    3   0
              option 0 means just compute mean curvature from intensity option 5 means characterize surface from
              intensity option 6 means compute gaussian curvature option 7 means surface area ...   for  surface
              characterization 1 == (+) bowl 2 == (-) bowl 3 == (+) saddle 4 == (-) saddle 5 == (+) U 6 == (-) U
              7 == flat 8 == a perfectly even saddle (rare)

              we add 128 to mean curvature results s.t. they are differentiated from background (zero)
