NAME
antsApplyTransforms - part of ANTS registration suite
DESCRIPTION
COMMAND:
antsApplyTransforms
antsApplyTransforms, applied to an input image, transforms it according to a reference image and a
transform (or a set of transforms).
OPTIONS:
-d, --dimensionality 2/3/4
Sets the dimensionality of transforms and scalar inputs.dimensional image. This will be the same
dimension as used in antsRegistration. This does not change for multi-valued inputs, use the -e
option for time series and other multi-component images.
-e, --input-image-type 0/1/2/3/4/5
scalar/vector/tensor/time-series/multichannel/five-dimensional
Option specifying the input image type of scalar (default), vector, tensor, time series, or
multi-channel. A time series image is a scalar image defined by an additional dimension for the
time component whereas a multi-channel image is a vector image with only spatial dimensions.
Five-dimensionalimages are e.g., AFNI stats image. <VALUES>: 0
--time-index <timeIndex>
Time index to extract from time series input (-e 3). This selects a single slice from time series
input without reading the entire dataset into memory.
-i, --input inputFileName
Currently, the only input objects supported are image objects. However, the current framework
allows for warping of other objects such as meshes and point sets.
-r, --reference-image imageFileName
For warping input images, the reference image defines the spacing, origin, size, and direction of
the output warped image.
-o, --output warpedOutputFileName
[warpedOutputFileName or compositeDisplacementField,<printOutCompositeWarpFile=0>]
Linear[genericAffineTransformFile,<calculateInverse=0>]
One can either output the warped image or, if the boolean is set, one can print out the
displacement field based on the composite transform and the reference image. A third option is to
compose all affine transforms and (if boolean is set) calculate its inverse which is then written
to an ITK file.
-n, --interpolation Linear
NearestNeighbor MultiLabel[<sigma=imageSpacing>,<alpha=4.0>]
Gaussian[<sigma=imageSpacing>,<alpha=1.0>] BSpline[<order=3>] CosineWindowedSinc WelchWindowedSinc
HammingWindowedSinc LanczosWindowedSinc GenericLabel[<interpolator=Linear>]
Several interpolation options are available in ITK. These have all been made available.
-u, --output-data-type char
uchar short int float double default
Output image data type. This is a direct typecast; output values are not rescaled. Default is to
use the internal data type (float or double). uchar is unsigned char; others are signed. WARNING:
Outputs will be incorrect (overflowed/reinterpreted) if values exceed the range allowed by your
choice. Note that some pixel types are not supported by some image formats. e.g. int is not
supported by jpg.
-t, --transform transformFileName
[transformFileName,useInverse]
Several transform options are supported including all those defined in the ITK library in addition
to a deformation field transform. The ordering of the transformations follows the ordering
specified on the command line. An identity transform is pushed onto the transformation stack. Each
new transform encountered on the command line is also pushed onto the transformation stack. Then,
to warp the input object, each point comprising the input object is warped first according to the
last transform pushed onto the stack followed by the second to last transform, etc. until the last
transform encountered which is the identity transform. Also, it should be noted that the inverse
transform can be accommodated with the usual caveat that such an inverse must be defined by the
specified transform class
-f, --default-value value
Default voxel value to be used with input images only. Specifies the voxel value when the input
point maps outside the output domain. With tensor input images, specifies the default voxel
eigenvalues.
-z, --static-cast-for-R value
forces static cast in ReadTransform (for R)
--float
Use 'float' instead of 'double' for computations. <VALUES>: 0
-v, --verbose (0)/1
Verbose output.
-h
Print the help menu (short version).
--help
Print the help menu. <VALUES>: 1
