sharpen_volume
apply histogram sharpening to a MINC volume
sharpen_volume [options] <input.mnc> <output.mnc>
DESCRIPTION
sharpen_volume is a Perl script that sharpens the intensity histogram of a MINC volume to improve contrast between tissue classes. It computes the intensity histogram using volume_hist, deconvolves it using sharpen_hist, and then applies the resulting lookup table to remap the volume intensities. This process is part of the N3 non-uniformity correction pipeline where histogram sharpening is used to estimate and remove the bias field.
