NAME

       mia-2dseries2sets - Combine images of a series to sets.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dseries2sets -o <out-directory> [options] <PLUGINS:2dimage/io>

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dseries2sets  This  program  takes  all image files that are given as free parameters on the command
       line and creates segmentation sets based on information found in the images. Used information is  the  z-
       location  of the slice and the acquisition number. The code is taylored to used the according descriptors
       defined in the DICOM standard. All images with the same slice location will be grouped  together  in  one
       segmentation  set and ordered according to their acquisition number. Slice locations are rounded to three
       digits accuracy to make proper comparison of floating point values feasible.

OPTIONS

              -o --out-directory=(required, output); string
                     output directory (needs to exist and be writable)

                 --no-copy
                     don't copy image files to output directory

   Help & Info
              -V --verbose=warning
                     verbosity of output, print  messages  of  given  level  and  higher  priorities.  Supported
                     priorities starting at lowest level are:

                        trace ‐ Function call trace
                        debug ‐ Debug output
                        info ‐ Low level messages
                        message ‐ Normal messages
                        warning ‐ Warnings
                        fail ‐ Report test failures
                        error ‐ Report errors

   Processing
                 --threads=-1
                     Maxiumum  number  of  threads to use for processing,This number should be lower or equal to
                     the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation).

PLUGINS: 2dimage/io

       bmp       BMP 2D-image input/output support. The plug-in supports reading and writing  of  binary  images
                 and  8-bit  gray  scale  images. read-only support is provided for 4-bit gray scale images. The
                 color table is ignored and the pixel values are taken as literal gray scale values.
