Use :
histo_vols [-i signal_level] [-d] volume1 volume2 [histogramfile]
Converts volume1 and volume2 to byteformat, and generates a 2D grey-level
co-occurrence histogram from the grayscale intensities in the two volumes.
The histogram is 256x256, x-axis is volume1 intensity, y-axis is volume2
intensity. If 'histogramfile' is specified the histogram is saved as a 2D
volume file, data type LONG.
At the same time, several voxel similarity measures are computed. The
program computes:
mean square (a-b)^2
scaled mean square (a-b*k)^2 k=sqrt(Var(a)/Var(b))
entropy sum p(a,b) log p(a,b)
mutual information sum p(a,b) log (p(a,b)/p(a)p(b))
where p(a,b) is the histogram normalized so that the sum over a and b is 1.
If -d is specified, the program writes out the computed similarity measures
in a single row of text so that sequential calls may be concatenated into a
matrix.
histo_vols -h produces above information
