++ 3dExtrema: AFNI version=AFNI_24.3.10 (Dec 17 2024) [64-bit]
++ Authored by: B. Douglas Ward
This program finds local extrema (minima or maxima) of the input
dataset values for each sub-brick of the input dataset. The extrema
may be determined either for each volume, or for each individual slice.
Only those voxels whose corresponding intensity value is greater than
the user specified data threshold will be considered.
Usage: 3dExtrema options datasets
where the options are:
-prefix pname = Use 'pname' for the output dataset prefix name.
OR [default = NONE; only screen output]
-output pname
-session dir = Use 'dir' for the output dataset session directory.
[default='./'=current working directory]
-quiet = Flag to suppress screen output
-mask_file mname = Use mask statistic from file mname.
Note: If file mname contains more than 1 sub-brick,
the mask sub-brick must be specified!
-mask_thr m Only voxels whose mask statistic is >= m
in absolute value will be considered.
A default value of 1 is assumed.
-data_thr d Only voxels whose value (intensity) is greater
than d in absolute value will be considered.
-nbest N Only print the first N extrema.
-sep_dist d Min. separation distance [mm] for distinct extrema
Choose type of extrema (one and only one choice):
-minima Find local minima.
-maxima [default] Find local maxima.
Choose form of binary relation (one and only one choice):
-strict [default] > for maxima, < for minima
-partial >= for maxima, <= for minima
Choose boundary criteria (one and only one choice):
-interior [default]Extrema must be interior points (not on boundary)
-closure Extrema may be boundary points
Choose domain for finding extrema (one and only one choice):
-slice [default] Each slice is considered separately
-volume The volume is considered as a whole
Choose option for merging of extrema (one and only one choice):
-remove [default] Remove all but strongest of neighboring extrema
-average Replace neighboring extrema by average
-weight Replace neighboring extrema by weighted average
Command line arguments after the above are taken to be input datasets.
Examples:
Compute maximum value in amygdala region of Talairach-transformed dataset
3dExtrema -volume -closure -sep_dist 512 \
-mask_file 'TT_Daemon::amygdala' func_slim+tlrc'[0]'
Show minimum voxel values not on edge of mask, where the mask >= 0.95
3dExtrema -minima -volume -mask_file 'statmask+orig' \
-mask_thr 0.95 func_slim+tlrc'[0]'
Get the maximum 3 values across the given ROI.
3dExtrema -volume -closure -mask_file MY_ROI+tlrc \
-nbest 3 func_slim+tlrc'[0]'
INPUT DATASET NAMES
-------------------
This program accepts datasets that are modified on input according to the
following schemes:
'r1+orig[3..5]' {sub-brick selector}
'r1+orig<100..200>' {sub-range selector}
'r1+orig[3..5]<100..200>' {both selectors}
'3dcalc( -a r1+orig -b r2+orig -expr 0.5*(a+b) )' {calculation}
For the gruesome details, see the output of 'afni -help'.
