NAME

       mia-2dfuzzysegment - A fuzzy c-means segmentation of a 2D image

SYNOPSIS

       mia-2dfuzzysegment -i <in-file> -c <cls-file> -g <gain-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-2dfuzzysegment  This  program  runs  a  combined  fuzzy c-means clustering and B-field
       correction to facilitate a fuzzy segmentation of 2D image. cf D.L.  Pham  and  J.L.Prince,
       "An  adaptive  fuzzy C-means algorithm for image segmentation in the presence of intensity
       inhomogeneities", Pat. Rec. Let., 20:57-68,1999

   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).
