NAME
       Segment - segmentation based on signal structure

SYNOPSIS
       astsegment [OPTION...] ASTRdata

DESCRIPTION
       Segment	is part	of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.13.  Segment will segment
       an initially labeled region based on structure with the signal. It will
       first  find true	clumps (local maxima), estimate	which ones have	strong
       connections, and	then grow them to cover	the full area of  each	detec-
       tion.

       For more	information, please run	any of the following commands. In par-
       ticular the second contains a very comprehensive	 explanation  of  Seg-
       ment's invocation: expected input(s), output(s),	and a full description
       of all the options.

       All options and their values:
	      $	astsegment -P

       Inputs/Outputs and options:
	      $	info astsegment

       Full section in manual/book:
	      $	info Segment

       Full Gnuastro manual/book:
	      $	info gnuastro

       If you couldn't find your answer	in the manual, you can get direct help
       from  experienced  Gnuastro users and developers. For more information,
       please run:

	      $	info help-gnuastro
