dcmquant: Convert DICOM color images to palette color
usage: dcmquant [options] dcmfile-in dcmfile-out
parameters:
dcmfile-in DICOM input filename to be converted
dcmfile-out DICOM output filename to be written
general options:
-h --help print this help text and exit
--version print version information and exit
--arguments print expanded command line arguments
-q --quiet quiet mode, print no warnings and errors
-v --verbose verbose mode, print processing details
-d --debug debug mode, print debug information
-ll --log-level [l]evel: string constant
(fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace)
use level l for the logger
-lc --log-config [f]ilename: string
use config file f for the logger
input options:
input file format:
+f --read-file read file format or data set (default)
+fo --read-file-only read file format only
-f --read-dataset read data set without file meta information
input transfer syntax:
-t= --read-xfer-auto use TS recognition (default)
-td --read-xfer-detect ignore TS specified in the file meta header
-te --read-xfer-little read with explicit VR little endian TS
-tb --read-xfer-big read with explicit VR big endian TS
-ti --read-xfer-implicit read with implicit VR little endian TS
image processing and encoding options:
frame selection:
+fr --frame [n]umber: integer
select specified frame
+fa --all-frames select all frames (default)
compatibility:
+Mp --accept-palettes accept incorrect palette attribute tags
(0028,111x) and (0028,121x)
median cut dimension selection:
+Dr --mc-dimension-rgb max dimension from RGB range (default)
+Dl --mc-dimension-lum max dimension from luminance
median cut representative color selection:
+Cb --mc-color-avgbox average colors in box (default)
+Cp --mc-color-avgpixel average pixels in box
+Cc --mc-color-center select center of box
color palette value representation:
+pw --write-ow write Palette LUT as OW (default)
+pu --write-us write Palette LUT as US (retired)
color palette creation:
+pe --lut-entries-word write Palette LUT with 16-bit entries
+pf --floyd-steinberg use Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion
+pc --colors number of colors: 2..65536 (default 256)
number of colors to quantize to
SOP Class UID:
+cd --class-default keep SOP Class UID (default)
+cs --class-sc convert to Secondary Capture Image
(implies --uid-always)
SOP Instance UID:
+ua --uid-always always assign new UID (default)
+un --uid-never never assign new UID
output options:
output file format:
+F --write-file write file format (default)
-F --write-dataset write data set without file meta information
output transfer syntax:
+t= --write-xfer-same write with same TS as input (default)
+te --write-xfer-little write with explicit VR little endian TS
+tb --write-xfer-big write with explicit VR big endian TS
+ti --write-xfer-implicit write with implicit VR little endian TS
post-1993 value representations:
+u --enable-new-vr enable support for new VRs (UN/UT) (default)
-u --disable-new-vr disable support for new VRs, convert to OB
group length encoding:
+g= --group-length-recalc recalculate group lengths if present (default)
+g --group-length-create always write with group length elements
-g --group-length-remove always write without group length elements
length encoding in sequences and items:
+e --length-explicit write with explicit lengths (default)
-e --length-undefined write with undefined lengths
data set trailing padding (not with --write-dataset):
-p= --padding-retain do not change padding
(default if not --write-dataset)
-p --padding-off no padding (implicit if --write-dataset)
+p --padding-create [f]ile-pad [i]tem-pad: integer
align file on multiple of f bytes
and items on multiple of i bytes
