💖 mia-2dimagestats(1) — the General Commands Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mia-2dimagestats, and yes it lives in the General Commands Manual section of your system, section 1, no cap. it's a lil command-line baddie that runs a whole vibe check on a 2D image and tells you what's going on with its intensities. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

mia-2dimagestats — Evaluate some statistics of a 2D image.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mia-2dimagestats -i <in-file> [options]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

mia-2dimagestats — okay so real talk, this program is used to evaluate some statistics of an image. (yes the original really does spell it "progranm", we're keeping it, it's iconic 💅)

what it hands you back is the Mean, the Variation, the Median, and the Median Average Distance of the intensity values. four stats, one command, we ate.

and because it's generous, it also lets you set a lower threshold and cut off a percentage of the high intensity pixels. so you can yeet the outliers before they mess with your numbers. periodt.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -i, --in-file=(input, required); io — the input image to be analyzed. bestie this one is required, no skipping. also, for supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io (we got a whole list below, don't worry 🫶)
• -t, --thresh=10 — intensity thresh to ignore
• -g, --high-thresh=0.05 — upper histogram percentage to ignore
• --use-histogram — Use a histogram to accumulate statistics

🛟 Help & Info 🛟

• -V, --verbose=warning — verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. supported priorities, starting at the 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
• --copyright — print copyright information
• -h, --help — print this help
• -?, --usage — print a short help
• --version — print the version number and exit

⚙️ Processing ⚙️

• --threads=-1 — Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing, This number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation).

💫 EXAMPLE 💫

Evaluate the statistics of image input.png. Don't include the upper 1% of intensities in the statistics. The result is written to stdout.

mia-2dimagestats -i input.png -g 1

look at that. one line. she's serving 🍓
