NAME
average_images - Average images
SYNOPSIS
average_images [options] image0 ...
DESCRIPTION
This tool computes pixelwiase average, variance, standard deviation, z-score, or entropy images from a list of user-provided intensity images.
OPTIONS
Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)
- --help
-
Write list of basic command line options to standard output.
- --help-all
-
Write complete list of basic and advanced command line options to standard output.

Main Options
- --mode
-
Mode of averaging operation Supported values: "avg", "var", "stdev", "zscore", "entropy", where the default is "avg", or use one of the following:
- --avg
-
Compute average (i.e., mean) image [This is the default]
- --var
-
Compute variance image
- --stdev
-
Compute standard deviation image

-
Compute pixel-by-pixel population entropy image
Data Preprocessing

-
Apply log to input data
- --abs, -a
-
Use absolute input values
- --normalize-mean-stdev, -n
-

- --set-padding-value <double>
-
Define padding value in input images [Default: disabled]
Output Options
- --outfile-name <string>, -o <string>
-
Output file name [Default: average.nii ]
- --type
-
Scalar data type of output image. Supported values: "float", "double", where the default is "float", or use one of the following:
