👑 mia-2dseries-sectionmask — the manual, but make it cute 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and the star of the show is mia-2dseries-sectionmask. It lives in section 1, iykyk 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

mia-2dseries-sectionmask — Evaluate masks from a segmentation.

no like literally, that's the whole job. it takes a segmentation and hands you masks. iconic behavior, honestly.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mia-2dseries-sectionmask -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mia-2dseries-sectionmask evaluates the masks for the sections of a segmented frame. that's it, that's the vibe. you feed it a segmented frame, it gives you back the mask. slay. 🌸

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -i, --in-file=(input, required); string — the input segmentation set. required, so like… don't skip it, bestie 🙈
• -o, --out-file=(output, required); io — the output image containing the mask. also required! and for supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io (scroll down, it's all there 💜)
• -f, --frame=0 — frame number for which to extract the mask. defaults to 0.

---

🫶 Help & Info

• -V, --verbose=warning — verbosity of output; it prints messages of the given level and higher priorities. the 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). so like, let it cook, it'll figure out the thread count itself 🧚

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Evaluate the mask image from the segmentation of image 20 in segment.set and store it to mask20.png:

mia-2dseries-sectionmask -i segment.set -f 20 -o mask20.png

see? frame 20, in goes segment.set, out comes mask20.png. main character energy fr fr ✨
