mia-2dcost [options] <PLUGINS:2dimage/fullcost>

mia-2dcost This program is used to evaluate the cost between two images by using a given cost function.

verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:

trace ‐ Function call trace
debug ‐ Debug output
info ‐ Low level messages
message ‐ Normal messages
warning ‐ Warnings
fail ‐ Report test failures
error ‐ Report errors
fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

normalized cross correlation.

(no parameters)
This function evaluates the image similarity based on normalized gradient fields. Various evaluation kernels are available., supported parameters are:

eval = ds; dict
plugin subtype. Supported values are:
sq ‐ square of difference
ds ‐ square of scaled difference
dot ‐ scalar product kernel
cross ‐ cross product kernel

2D imaga cost: sum of squared differences, supported parameters are:

autothresh = 0; float in [0, 1000]
Use automatic masking of the moving image by only takeing intensity values into accound that are larger than the given threshold.

norm = 0; bool
Set whether the metric should be normalized by the number of image pixels.

2D image cost: sum of squared differences, with automasking based on given thresholds, supported parameters are:

rthresh = 0; double
Threshold intensity value for reference image.

sthresh = 0; double
Threshold intensity value for source image.

Generalized image similarity cost function that also handles multi-resolution processing. The actual similarity measure is given es extra parameter., supported parameters are:

cost = ssd; factory

weight = 1; float
weight of cost function.
