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

              -? --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
