# jointfusion(1)

part of ANTS registration suite

## NAME

jointfusion - part of ANTS registration suite

## DESCRIPTION

Joint Label Fusion: usage:

-

  jointfusion dim mod \[options\] output\_image

### required options:

- dim

  Image dimension (2 or 3)

- mod

  Number of modalities or features

- **-g** atlas1\_mod1.nii atlas1\_mod2.nii ...atlasN\_mod1.nii atlasN\_mod2.nii ...

  Warped atlas images

- **-tg** target\_mod1.nii ... target\_modN.nii

  Target image(s)

- **-l** label1.nii ... labelN.nii

  Warped atlas segmentation

- **-m** \<method\> \[parameters\]

  Select voting method. Options: Joint (Joint Label Fusion) May be followed by optional parameters in brackets, e.g., **-m** Joint\[0.1,2\]. See below for parameters

### other options:

- **-rp** radius

  Patch radius for similarity measures, scalar or vector (AxBxC) Default: 2x2x2

- **-rs** radius

  Local search radius. Default: 3x3x3

- **-x** label image.nii

  Specify an exclusion region for the given label.

- **-p** filenamePattern

  Save the posterior maps (probability that each voxel belongs to each label) as images. The number of images saved equals the number of labels. The filename pattern must be in C printf format, e.g. posterior%04d.nii.gz

- **-w** filenamePattern

  Save the voting weights as images. The number of images saved equals the number of atlases. The filename pattern must be in C printf format, e.g. weight%04d.nii.gz

- **-gp** ID\_atlas1 ... ID\_atlasN

  Assign a group ID for each atlas

- **-gpw** weight\_gp1 ... weight\_gpn

  Assign the voting weights to each atlas group

### Parameters for -m Joint option:

- alpha

  Regularization term added to matrix Mx for inverse Default: 0.1

- beta

  Exponent for mapping intensity difference to joint error Default: 2
