💖 mia-3dcombine-imageseries 💖

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the manual page for mia-3dcombine-imageseries from the General Commands Manual section. it's a whole glow-up for your image stack, and yes, it's about to eat. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

mia-3dcombine-imageseries — Combine images. that's it. that's the job. 💅

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

mia-3dcombine-imageseries -o <out-file> [options] <PLUGINS:3dimage/io>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: mia-3dcombine-imageseries takes a whole lil' squad of input images that all have the same dimensions, and it glues them into one combined output image using the operation you define for the combination. it's giving group project where everyone actually contributes. iconic. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -o, --out-file=(output, required); io — the output file that's gonna hold your combined image. required, bestie, don't forget it. for supported file types, go peek at PLUGINS:3dimage/io down below. 💖
• -p, --operation=mean — the operation applied when combining the images. pick your fighter:
  • mean — mean image intensities ✨
  • max — select max per pixel intensity 🔥
  • add — add pixel intensities ➕
• -r, --repn=none — the output pixel representation. if you don't give one, then the representation of the first input image gets used. no cap. the options are:
  • bit — binary data
  • sbyte — signed 8 bit
  • ubyte — unsigned 8 bit
  • sshort — signed 16 bit
  • ushort — unsigned 16 bit
  • sint — signed 32 bit
  • uint — unsigned 32 bit
  • slong — signed 64 bit
  • ulong — unsigned 64 bit
  • float — floating point 32 bit
  • double — floating point 64 bit
  • none — no pixel type defined

💬 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 — maximum 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). let the machine cook. 🔥
