NAME

       mia-3ddistance - Evaluate the distance between two binary shapes.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-3ddistance -i <in-file> -r <ref-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-3ddistance  This program takes two binary masks as input and evaluates the distance of
       one mask with respect to the other in voxel space. The output is given as text  file  with
       the  coordinates of the source voxels and their distance to the reference mask. Correction
       for voxel size must be done after processing.

OPTIONS

   File IO
              -i --in-file=(required)
                     input image(s) that contain the source pixel mask

              -r --ref-file=(required)
                     reference mask to evaluate the distance from

              -o --out-file=(required)
                     output file name

   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

              -h --help
                     print this help

              -? --usage
                     print a short help

                 --version
                     print the version number and exit

   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).

   Test
                 --self-test
                     run a self test

EXAMPLE

       Evaluate  the  distance  of  the mask given in the images srcXXXX.png to the mask given in
       refXXXX.png and save the result to distances.txt

       mia-3ddistance -i srcXXXX.png -r refXXXX.png -o distances.txt
