NAME

   mia-3dmaskseeded - Mask an area by seeded region growing

SYNOPSIS

   mia-3dmaskseeded -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

   mia-3dmaskseeded  3D  image segmentation based on region growing from a
   seed point. Neighboring points are added, either when  their  intensity
   is  equal or higher than that of the seed point, or of the intensity is
   lower or equal then that of the neighoring point. After region  growing
   is  finished,  this mask is used to zero out the region in the original
   image yielding the resulting image.
