XML Description: OtsuThreshold.xml

Usage:

./OtsuThresholdImageFilter  [--processinformationaddress <std::string>]
                            [--xml] [--echo] [--numberOfBins <int>]
                            [--outsideValue <int>] [--insideValue <int>]
                            [--] [--version] [-h] <std::string>
                            <std::string>


Where: 

--processinformationaddress <std::string>
  Address of a structure to store process information (progress, abort,
  etc.). (default: 0)

--xml
  Produce xml description of command line arguments (default: 0)

--echo
  Echo the command line arguments (default: 0)

--numberOfBins <int>
  The number of bins in the histogram (default: 128)

--outsideValue <int>
  The value assigned to pixels that are outside the computed threshold
  (default: 255)

--insideValue <int>
  The value assigned to pixels that are inside the computed threshold
  (default: 0)

--,  --ignore_rest
  Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

--version
  Displays version information and exits.

-h,  --help
  Displays usage information and exits.

<std::string>
  (required)  Input volume to be filtered

<std::string>
  (required)  Output filtered


Description: This filter creates a binary thresholded image that
separates an image into foreground and background components. The filter
computes the threshold using the algorthm described in 'xxx', applies
that threshold to the input image using the BinaryThresholdImageFilter.
The NumberOfHistogram bins can be set for the Otsu Calculator. The
insideValue and outsideValue can be set for the
BinaryThresholdImageFilter.
