gaussian_blur_peaks

create a volume from Gaussian-blurred peak locations

gaussian_blur_peaks like_volume.mnc output.mnc [-max_value value] x1 y1 z1 fwhm1 [x2 y2 z2 fwhm2] [-tag filename fwhm]...

DESCRIPTION

gaussian_blur_peaks creates a volume sampled according to the geometry of like_volume.mnc which contains a Gaussian blurring of the given 3D points. Each point is specified by a world coordinate (x, y, z) and a filter size defined by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) in millimetres. Output values range from 0 to 1 unless overridden by the -max_value option. Points may also be read from a tag file using the -tag option.

OPTIONS

-max_value value
Set the maximum output value. Defaults to 1.
-tag filename fwhm
Read peak locations from a tag file and blur each with the given FWHM.

Positional point arguments:

x y z fwhm
World coordinates and FWHM of a peak. Multiple peaks may be specified.

EXAMPLES

Create a volume with one blurred peak at (10, 20, 30) with 6mm FWHM:

gaussian_blur_peaks template.mnc output.mnc 10 20 30 6

Create with peaks from a tag file:

gaussian_blur_peaks template.mnc output.mnc -tag peaks.tag 8
