[MINC-users] mincreshape -normalize -fillvalue

[Alex Zijdenbos]

Hello all,

The -normalize option ("Normalize images to real minimum and maximum for
the entire input file") appears to disregard the fill value (if provided).
For example, if volume in.mnc has a range [5,100], this call:

mincreshape [-start ... ] -normalize -fillvalue 0 in.mnc out.mnc

actually fills with 5, not 0. I would consider that a bug, and say that
-normalize should include any out-of-current-range fill values in the final
range of the volume. Or?

On a related note: it's never been clear to me what the difference between
-pixfillvalue and -fillvalue is (and it's hardly clear from the man page).
Is that simply voxel value vs real value?

Thanks,
