NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dseries2sets -o <out> [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 aquisition number. Slice locations are rounded to three digits accuracy
       to make proper comparison of floating point values feasable.

OPTIONS

              -o --out=(required)
                     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:
                        info ‐ Low level messages

   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).
