NAME

       mia-2dseriesgradvariation - Evaluate the time-intensity gradient variation in a series of images.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dseriesgradvariation -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dseriesgradvariation  Given  a  set  of  images  of  temporal  sucession, this program evaluates the
       gradient variation of the pixel-wise time-intensity curves  of  this  series.  If  the  input  image  set
       provides  a  segmentation,  then  this  segmentation  can  be  used to create a bounding box and restrict
       evaluation to this box.

OPTIONS

              -i --in-file=(input, required); string
                     input segmentation set

              -o --out-file=(required, output); io
                     output file name
                      For supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io

              -k --skip=0
                     Skip files at the beginning

              -e --enlarge-boundary=5
                     Enlarge cropbox by number of pixels

              -c --crop
                     crop image before running statistics

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.

EXAMPLE

       Evaluate the gradient-variation image of the bounding box surrounding  the  segmentation  from  a  series
       'segment.set'.  The  bounding  box  will  be  enlarged  by 3 pixels in all directions. Store the image in
       OpenEXR format.
