pipeline_watermark.pl

apply a visible watermark to an MRI volume

pipeline_watermark.pl <input.mnc> <output.mnc> --model_dir <dir> [--no_int_norm]

DESCRIPTION

pipeline_watermark.pl applies a visible watermark pattern to an MRI volume. This is typically used as part of the defacing pipeline to indicate that a volume has been processed for anonymization. The watermark is embedded directly into the image data, making it visible when the volume is displayed.

The watermark pattern is loaded from a template in the model directory. By default, the input volume is intensity normalized before the watermark is applied; this can be disabled with the –no_int_norm option.

OPTIONS

--verbose
Print progress information during processing.
--clobber
Overwrite the output file if it already exists.
--model_dir <dir>
Path to the directory containing the watermark template and model files.
--no_int_norm
Disable intensity normalization of the input volume before applying the watermark.

EXAMPLES

Apply a watermark to a volume:

pipeline_watermark.pl input.mnc watermarked.mnc \
  --model_dir /opt/minc/share/model

Apply a watermark without intensity normalization:

pipeline_watermark.pl input.mnc watermarked.mnc \
  --model_dir /opt/minc/share/model --no_int_norm

Apply with verbose output and clobber:

pipeline_watermark.pl input.mnc watermarked.mnc \
  --model_dir /opt/minc/share/model --verbose --clobber
