🩷 VMTKIMAGEVESSELENHANCEMENT(1) 🩷

okay so bestie, bestie, BESTIE. you clicked on vmtkimagevesselenhancement, and it lives in the User Commands section of the VMTKIMAGEVESSELENHANCEMENT(1) manual. grab a strawberry drink 🍓, we're computing feature images for segmentation and it's giving main character energy 💅

✨ NAME ✨

vmtkimagevesselenhancement — vmtk script vmtkimagevesselenhancement

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so, the manual opens with this little chaos poem, bestie, and I'm keeping it exactly as-is because it's iconic:

Automatic piping vmtkimagevesselenhancement Parsing options vmtkimagevesselenhancement

and here's what the script actually does, no cap:

vmtkimagevesselenhancement : compute a feature image for use in
       segmentation

that's the whole mission. compute a feature image for use in segmentation. slay. ✨

📥 Input arguments:

this is the group chat where you tell the script what you want. every single one, here we go, no skipping, we don't do that here 🫶

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. just the little name tag the script wears. 🏷️
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. it's holding its own hand. we love a self-sufficient icon. 🫶
  • -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. literally the "nvm, not today" switch. 🚫
  • -i Image (vtkImageData,1) — the input image. the vibe you're feeding in. 🖼️
  • -ifile ImageInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image reader. tell it where the vibe lives. 📂
  • -method Method (str,1) in ['frangi', 'sato', 'ved', 'vedm']; default=frangi — pick your algorithm, bestie. four flavours, all valid. 🍓
  • -sigmamin SigmaMin (float,1) >= 0.0; default=1.0 — the manual gives you the spec and nothing else here, so here's the spec, exactly. 📏
  • -sigmamax SigmaMax (float,1) >= 0.0; default=1.0 — same deal, exact spec, no invented lore. 📐
  • -sigmasteps NumberOfSigmaSteps (int,1) >= 0; default=1 — how many steps, spec as written. 🪜
  • -stepmethod SigmaStepMethod (str,1) in ['equispaced', 'logarithmic']; default=equispaced — two step flavours, one default, zero drama. ⚖️
  • -scaled ScaledVesselness (bool,1); default=0 — marked (frangi), so it's a frangi-flavoured option. 🔍
  • -brightobject BrightObject (bool,1); default=True — also (frangi). caps matter, it says True with a capital T. 👑
  • -alpha1 Alpha1 (float,1) >= 0.0; default=0.5 — (sato) territory. 🌀
  • -alpha2 Alpha2 (float,1) >= 0.0; default=2.0 — also (sato). ✨
  • -alpha Alpha (float,1) >= 0.0; default=0.5 — this one serves (frangi, ved, vedm). 🌈
  • -beta Beta (float,1) >= 0.0; default=0.5 — (frangi, ved, vedm) again. 💜
  • -gamma Gamma (float,1) >= 0.0; default=5.0 — yes, (frangi, ved, vedm). trio of legends. 💅
  • -c C (float,1) >= 0.0; default=1e-06 — (ved) only. tiny number, big energy. keep it character-for-character: 1e-06. 🔬
  • -timestep TimeStep (float,1) >= 0.0; default=0.01 — (ved, vedm). ⏱️
  • -epsilon Epsilon (float,1) >= 0.0; default=0.01 — (ved, vedm). 🫧
  • -wstrength WStrength (float,1) >= 0.0; default=25.0 — (ved, vedm). 💪
  • -sensitivity Sensitivity (float,1) >= 0.0; default=5.0 — (ved, vedm). 🦋
  • -iterations NumberOfIterations (int,1) >= 0; default=0 — (ved, vedm). 🔁
  • -subiterations NumberOfDiffusionSubIterations (int,1) >= 1; default=0 — (ved, vedm). note that >= 1 bestie, it's not a >= 0 situation, and the default is 0, and no I'm not making that up, that's literally what's written. 😭
  • -ofile ImageOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image writer. where the slay gets saved. 💾

📤 Output arguments:

the after-party. what you get back:

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. yes it shows up in both lists, it's just that kind of icon. 🏷️
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. still holding its own hand. consistent queen. 🫶
  • -o Image (vtkImageData,1) — the output image. that's the whole point, bestie. 🌈
ngl, the "Automatic piping ... Parsing options ..." line up top is exactly what the original manual says. I didn't touch it, I didn't fix it, I just framed it. ✨

go forth and enhance vessels. the itinerary is: -i in, -method chosen, parameters tuned, -o out. 🎀
