VLOGTYPE

VisionX V4
NAME

vlogtype − classifies nodule candidates into isolated, attached and irrelevant types for a given set

SYNOPSIS

vlogtype [if=<searchmask>] [ic=<incandfile>] [of=<outcandfile>] [-t] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

vlogtype scans through the <input-candidate-file> and assigns isolated type (1) to a candidate if its center is within the <search-space-mask> and corresponding sphere does not intersect with the mask’s boundary; assigns attached type (0), if there is an intersection; and assigns irrelevant type (-1) otherwise.

OPTIONS

if=

search space mask image file in byte format

ic=

input candidate file

of=

output candidate file, containing all columns from the input candidate file plus additional column of computed type

-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
