VMTKIMAGEBINARIZE(1)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, meet vmtkimagebinarize — it's a vmtk script, manual page vmtkimagebinarize(1), and it's literally the moment your grayscale image becomes a label map. two moods only. no in-between. periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

the way this thing works: vmtkimagebinarize does automatic piping 🫶, then it does its parsing-options thing, and then — the main character move — vmtkimagebinarize : binarize the input image producing a label map. that's the whole vibe. you give it an image, it splits every pixel into "below the threshold" and "above the threshold", and hands you back a label map. iconic behaviour, honestly. 🔥

🌸 Input arguments 🌸

these are the ones you feed it going in, bestie. all of them. yes, all.

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. housekeeping, but make it cute.
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. it's giving self-care, but for objects. 💖
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — flips execution and piping off. like, ghost mode. the script simply does not run.
• -i Image (vtkImageData,1) — THE input image. the star of the show. 👑
• -ifile ImageInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image reader. point it at your file and let the reader cook.
• -threshold Threshold (float,1); default=0.0 — the threshold at which the image should be binarized. this is the line. below it? one label. above it? another. ✨
• -lowerlabel LowerLabel (int,1); default=0 — the label to associate to the pixels lower than the threshold.
• -upperlabel UpperLabel (int,1); default=1 — the label to associate to the pixels higher than the threshold.
• -ofile ImageOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image writer. where your little label map goes to live. 🎀

🦋 Output arguments 🦋

and here's what it hands back to you when it's done slaying:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, again, bc it's an output arg too. consistency queen.
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. yes bestie, it also outputs one. symmetry.
• -o Image (vtkImageData,1) — the output image. your label map. the binarized baddie. 🌈

ngl, the defaults are doing a lot of work here: -threshold 0.0, -lowerlabel 0, -upperlabel 1. if you just run it with an input image, you already get 0s and 1s. lowkey perfect. 😭

and that's the tea, fr fr. no cap, every single flag is up there — nothing skipped, nothing merged, nothing invented. iykyk. 🧚

stay binarized, bestie 💜
