fuse.fibers.auto: Automated repeated fusing of fiber paths

In GoodFibes: Detection and Reconstruction of Muscle Fibers from diceCT Image Data

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
