VAIRDIST

VisionX V4
NAME

vairdist − computes the distance from the candidate center to the nearest airway

SYNOPSIS

vairdist [if=<inputimage>] [ic=<incandfile>] [of=<outcandfile>] [-t] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

vairdist computes the distance from the candidate center to the nearest airway by gradually growing the sphere, placed at candidate’s center and looking for the intersection with the airway mask

OPTIONS

if=

input image (byte)

ic=

input candidate file

of=

output candidate file, containing all columns from the input candidate file plus additional column of computed distance (in mm)

-t

use tab-separated format instead of default VisionX feature format both for input and output candidate files; input file may have arbitrary number of columns, however the first three must be the following: candidate index, x,y,z coordinates and diameter (in mm)

-v

verbose mode; gives some runtime information

TODO

* must support arbitrary set of diameters for growing sphere
