ANTs

ANTS is a C++ library available through the command line that computes high-dimensional mappings to capture the statistics of brain structure and function.

Usage♯

ANTS version 2.6.0 is available on Picotte. You can load it using the modulefile:

module load ants/2.6.0

Then you can run ANTS commands, of which there are many, most of which are prefixed with ants. For example:

$ antsAlignOrigin

COMMAND:
     antsAlignOrigin
          antsAlignOrigin, applied to an input image, transforms it according to a
          reference image and a transform (or a set of transforms).

OPTIONS:
     -d, --dimensionality 2/3
          This option forces the image to be treated as a specified-dimensional image. If
          not specified, antsWarp tries to infer the dimensionality from the input image.

     -i, --input inputFileName
          Currently, the only input objects supported are image objects. However, the
          current framework allows for warping of other objects such as meshes and point
          sets.
