Hi everyone,

I was hoping that someone could clarify for me the role played by norm.mgz
in the command

   mri_pretess filled.mgz 255 norm.mgz filled-pretess255.mgz

from the -tessellate step of the -autrecon2 section on the page

   http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/ReconAllDevTable.

My understanding is that this command will (roughly) perform the following
tasks for a given voxel v in filled.mgz with intensity 255:

1) Determine whether there are any other voxels of intensity 255 in the
3x3x3 cube centered at v.

2) If so, then further determine whether none of these share a face with v.

3) If so, then let S be the set of all such voxels, together with v itself,
and identify an "optimal" collection of the remaining voxels in the 3x3x3
cube to add to S so that every voxel in S shares a a face with at least one
other voxel in S, where "optimal" means that the added voxels should have
intensities as close as possible to 255 in norm.mgz.

Does this capture the role played by norm.mgz?  Or am I way off?

Thanks in advance for your help,
David Romano
