make_surface_bitlist

create a surface bitlist volume from a thresholded MINC volume

make_surface_bitlist input.mnc output_prefix threshold [x_size] [y_size] [z_size] [tolerance]

DESCRIPTION

make_surface_bitlist creates a binary bitlist volume from a MINC volume by thresholding. Voxels in the input volume that exceed the threshold are marked in the output bitlist. The output files are written with the given output_prefix.

Optional x_size, y_size, and z_size parameters control the dimensions of the output bitlist volume. If not specified, the dimensions match the input volume.

An optional tolerance parameter controls the tolerance used when determining surface voxels. The bitlist is used internally by surface extraction and reconstruction algorithms.
