Workbench Command is a set of command-line tools that can be used to perform simple and complex operations within Connectome Workbench.
FIND EXTREMA IN A VOLUME FILE
wb_command -volume-extrema
<volume-in> - volume file to find the extrema of
<distance> - the minimum distance between identified extrema of the same
type
<volume-out> - output - the output extrema volume
[-presmooth] - smooth the volume before finding extrema
<kernel> - the size of the gaussian smoothing kernel in mm, as sigma
by default
[-fwhm] - kernel size is FWHM, not sigma
[-roi] - ignore values outside the selected area
<roi-volume> - the area to find extrema in
[-threshold] - ignore small extrema
<low> - the largest value to consider for being a minimum
<high> - the smallest value to consider for being a maximum
[-sum-subvols] - output the sum of the extrema subvolumes instead of each
subvolume separately
[-consolidate-mode] - use consolidation of local minima instead of a
large neighborhood
[-only-maxima] - only find the maxima
[-only-minima] - only find the minima
[-subvolume] - select a single subvolume to find extrema in
<subvolume> - the subvolume number or name
Finds extrema in a volume file, such that no two extrema of the same type
are within <distance> of each other. The extrema are labeled as -1 for
minima, 1 for maxima, 0 otherwise. If -only-maxima or -only-minima is
specified, then it will ignore extrema not of the specified type. These
options are mutually exclusive.
If -sum-subvols is specified, these extrema subvolumes are summed, and
the output has a single subvolume with this result.
By default, a datapoint is an extrema only if it is more extreme than
every other datapoint that is within <distance> from it. If
-consolidate-mode is used, it instead starts by finding all datapoints
that are more extreme than their immediate neighbors, then while there
are any extrema within <distance> of each other, take the two extrema
closest to each other and merge them into one by a weighted average based
on how many original extrema have been merged into each.
By default, all input subvolumes are used with no smoothing, use
-subvolume to specify a single subvolume to use, and -presmooth to smooth
the input before finding the extrema.
