If you are interested in a series of 2d versions, then you might try nifti to tiff with convert3d, then extract the tiff slices with tiffsplit, then tifftopgm with the image magick tools.</div>
<div><br><div>The README with the power watershed code says that the 3d format is a very simple header followed by the data, so your best bet is to probably do it manually. Use convert3d, or equivalent tool to change the nii to a format that has separate data and header sections (or strip the nii header off), making sure that you have unsigned char data. Then manually construct the text header and join the two together. It appears that the text header should look like this:</div>
<div><br></div><div>P5</div><div>xsize ysize zsize</div><div>255</div><div><br></div><div>Then do the reverse to get back to a nifti file. Seems that the extended pgm format doesn't know about voxel sizes, so you may get weird results if the data is highly anisotropic.</div>

Hello,<br></div><div><br></div><div>
There is a tool (Power Watershed) from ICCV 2009 which only accepts .ppm images:</div><div><a href="http://powerwatershed.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://powerwatershed.sourceforge.net/</a></div><div><br></div><div>
It seems convert3d does not support this image format, which I suspect is the following one:<br></div><div><a href="http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pgm.html" target="_blank"></a><a>http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pgm.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there an easy way to convert my .nii (3D images) to .pgm files? Apply this tool and then convert the way back?<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><span><font color="#888888"><div>
