| fuse.fibers.auto {GoodFibes} | R Documentation |
Automated repeated fusing of fiber paths
Description
This function repeatedly compares pairs of muscle fibers for fusing. Repeated applications of fuse.fibers until no further fibers can be merged
Usage
fuse.fibers.auto(fiber.list, min.vox, min.improvement = 0.25,
df = 2, length.out = 50, max.iter = 10, verbose = FALSE)
Arguments
fiber.list |
A list of fibers with $fiber.points produced by good.fibes or any of the processing and cleaning functions. |
min.vox |
The voxel distance below which fibers will be compared. Should be <= the voxel width of the muscle fascicles, though lower if interstital spaces are low. |
min.improvement |
The minimum increase (as a proportion) in fiber length for fibers to be worth merging. |
df |
The df to be used in smoothing fiber paths in the calculation of fiber length |
length.out |
The number of divisions to be used in the calculation of fiber lengths (line segments) |
max.iter |
The maximum number of iterations of fuse.fibers that will be attempted. |
verbose |
Should the number of iterations through the function be displayed while running? |
Value
A list of fibers with $fiber.points
