SYNOPSIS

mia-2dsegment-ahmed -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

DESCRIPTION

mia-2dsegment-ahmed This program implements a variation of the paper:Mohamed N. Ahmed et. al, "A Modified Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm for Bias Field estimation and Segmentation of MRI Data", IEEE Trans. on Medical Imaging, Vol. 21, No. 3, March 2002, changes are: p=2, and exp
