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=(required)
                     input segmentation set

              -o --out-file=(required)

              -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

   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
                        warning ‐ Warnings
                        error ‐ Report errors
                        fail ‐ Report test failures
                        message ‐ Normal messages
                        fatal ‐ Report only fatal 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).
