vasize - estimates the center point and the size of attached nodule candidates
SYNOPSISvasize [if=] [ig=] [c=] [xz=] [r=] [rth=] [mr=] [th=] [-t] [k=] [-d] [-v] [-w]
DESCRIPTIONvasize estimates the center point and the size of attached nodule candidates. In the hypothesis generation stage of the attached nodule detection algorithm, nodule candidates are generated and their peak surface voxel coordinates’ and rough size estimates are reported. But, for further false positive elimination, center point coordinates and accurate size of the nodule candidates are needed. This program generates the center point and accurate size of the nodule candidate.
Two localization and size estimation options are available. The first one (default option) uses iterative technique as described in "vincgen.1" and the second one ([-t]) follows localization and size estimation techniques used for high res images as described in "vfindnod.1"
