Connectivity threshold

This module enables to make a semi-automatic segmentation of a volume. You define a band of gray levels by selecting a low level threshold and high level threshold. Corresponding regions are highlighted and added to current region when you click on them. You can also export this region as a mask.

At the top you see the histogram of your volume. Vous pouvez visualiser l'histogramme de votre volume sur la première partie haute de l'onglet. y-coordinate is the frequency of a gray level and x-coordinate is its value.

Field nameDescription

Bins

Number of splitting of gray levels scale.

Ingnore under low

This option enables to update the frequencies of gray levels in the histogram according to the values of high level and low level.

Histo Image / Histo ROI

  • Histo Image : show the histogram of the volume for which connectivity threshold is activated.

  • Histo ROI : show the histogram of each ROI of the selected graph.

Save Histos

Saving all histograms (volume and ROIs histograms) in a text file. A file dialog opens and enables to choose the name of the file. The format of this file is .anahis. The extension is optional and the file is readable with any text editor. See appendix about .anahis format.

Activate threshold preview

  • Activate threshold preview : enable this option. If this button is not on, none of the other action is available.

  • Deactivate threshold preview : disable this option.

Low level

Move the cursor to set the low threshold of gray levels.

High level

Move the cursor to set the high threshold of gray levels.

Dimension

  • 2D : the region will be a 2D volume, it will be only in the selected slice.

  • 3D : the regions will be a 3D volume.

Mix method

  • Geometric : geometric fusion between the volume and the region defined by the threshold.

  • Linear : linear fusion between the volume and the region defined by the threshold.

Mixing factor

Mixing factor used for the linear fusion.
