class smriprep.interfaces.workbench.CreateSignedDistanceVolume(command=None, terminal_output=None, write_cmdline=False, **inputs)[source]

Bases: WBCommand

Wrapped executable: wb_command -create-signed-distance-volume.

Create signed distance volume from surface

Computes the signed distance function of the surface. Exact distance is calculated by finding the closest point on any surface triangle to the center of the voxel. Approximate distance is calculated starting with these distances, using dijkstra’s method with a neighborhood of voxels. Specifying too small of an exact distance may produce unexpected results.

The NORMALS winding method uses the normals of triangles and edges, or the closest triangle hit by a ray from the point. This method may be slightly faster, but is only reliable for a closed surface that does not cross through itself. All other methods count entry (positive) and exit (negative) crossings of a vertical ray from the point, then counts as inside if the total is odd, negative, or nonzero, respectively.

Command help string:

CREATE SIGNED DISTANCE VOLUME FROM SURFACE

wb_command -create-signed-distance-volume
   <surface> - the input surface
   <refspace> - a volume in the desired output space (dims, spacing, origin)
   <outvol> - output - the output volume

   [-roi-out] - output an roi volume of where the output has a computed
      value
      <roi-vol> - output - the output roi volume

   [-fill-value] - specify a value to put in all voxels that don't get
      assigned a distance
      <value> - value to fill with (default 0)

   [-exact-limit] - specify distance for exact output
      <dist> - distance in mm (default 5)

   [-approx-limit] - specify distance for approximate output
      <dist> - distance in mm (default 20)

   [-approx-neighborhood] - voxel neighborhood for approximate calculation
      <num> - size of neighborhood cube measured from center to face, in
         voxels (default 2 = 5x5x5)

   [-winding] - winding method for point inside surface test
      <method> - name of the method (default EVEN_ODD)

   Computes the signed distance function of the surface.  Exact distance is
   calculated by finding the closest point on any surface triangle to the
   center of the voxel.  Approximate distance is calculated starting with
   these distances, using dijkstra's method with a neighborhood of voxels.
   Specifying too small of an exact distance may produce unexpected results.
   Valid specifiers for winding methods are as follows:

   EVEN_ODD (default)
   NEGATIVE
   NONZERO
   NORMALS

   The NORMALS method uses the normals of triangles and edges, or the
   closest triangle hit by a ray from the point.  This method may be
   slightly faster, but is only reliable for a closed surface that does not
   cross through itself.  All other methods count entry (positive) and exit
   (negative) crossings of a vertical ray from the point, then counts as
   inside if the total is odd, negative, or nonzero, respectively.

REGRESS THE AFFINE TRANSFORM BETWEEN SURFACES ON THE SAME MESH

wb_command -surface-affine-regression

<source> - the surface to warp <target> - the surface to match the coordinates of <affine-out> - output - the output affine file

Use linear regression to compute an affine that minimizes the sum of squares of the coordinate differences between the target surface and the warped source surface. Note that this has a bias to shrink the surface that is being warped. The output is written as a NIFTI ‘world’ matrix, see -convert-affine to convert it for use in other software.

class smriprep.interfaces.workbench.SurfaceApplyAffine(command=None, terminal_output=None, write_cmdline=False, **inputs)[source]

Bases: WBCommand

Wrapped executable: wb_command -surface-apply-affine.

APPLY AFFINE TRANSFORM TO SURFACE FILE

wb_command -surface-apply-affine

<in-surf> - the surface to transform <affine> - the affine file <out-surf> - output - the output transformed surface

[-flirt] - MUST be used if affine is a flirt affine

<source-volume> - the source volume used when generating the affine <target-volume> - the target volume used when generating the affine

For flirt matrices, you must use the -flirt option, because flirt matrices are not a complete description of the coordinate transform they represent. If the -flirt option is not present, the affine must be a nifti ‘world’ affine, which can be obtained with the -convert-affine command, or aff_conv from the 4dfp suite.

>>> saa = SurfaceApplyAffine()
>>> saa.inputs.in_surface = 'sub-01_hemi-L_sphere.surf.gii'

Wrapped executable: wb_command -surface-apply-warpfield.

APPLY WARPFIELD TO SURFACE FILE

wb_command -surface-apply-warpfield

<in-surf> - the surface to transform <warpfield> - the INVERSE warpfield <out-surf> - output - the output transformed surface

[-fnirt] - MUST be used if using a fnirt warpfield

<forward-warp> - the forward warpfield

NOTE: warping a surface requires the INVERSE of the warpfield used to warp the volume it lines up with. The header of the forward warp is needed by the -fnirt option in order to correctly interpret the displacements in the fnirt warpfield.

If the -fnirt option is not present, the warpfield must be a nifti ‘world’ warpfield, which can be obtained with the -convert-warpfield command.

class smriprep.interfaces.workbench.SurfaceModifySphere(command=None, terminal_output=None, write_cmdline=False, **inputs)[source]

Bases: WBCommand

Wrapped executable: wb_command -surface-modify-sphere.

CHANGE RADIUS AND OPTIONALLY RECENTER A SPHERE

wb_command -surface-modify-sphere

<sphere-in> - the sphere to modify <radius> - the radius the output sphere should have <sphere-out> - output - the output sphere

[-recenter] - recenter the sphere by means of the bounding box

This command may be useful if you have used -surface-resample to resample a sphere, which can suffer from problems generally not present in -surface-sphere-project-unproject. If the sphere should already be centered around the origin, using -recenter may still shift it slightly before changing the radius, which is likely to be undesirable.

If <sphere-in> is not close to spherical, or not centered around the origin and -recenter is not used, a warning is printed.
