| :-------------------------: | :-------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|           `label`           |           *number*          | The label to interpolate. Interpolates all labels if set to 0 (default).                                                                                                                           |
|            `axis`           |           *number*          | Interpolate only along this axis. Interpolates along all axes if set to -1 (default).                                                                                                              |
|    `noHeuristicAlignment`   |          *boolean*          | Heuristic alignment of regions for interpolation is faster than optimal alignment.                                                                                                                 |
|   `noUseDistanceTransform`  |          *boolean*          | Using distance transform instead of repeated dilations to calculate the median contour is slightly faster, but produces lower quality interpolations.                                              |
|  `useCustomSlicePositions`  |          *boolean*          | Use custom slice positions (not slice auto-detection).                                                                                                                                             |
|     `noUseExtrapolation`    |          *boolean*          | Perform extrapolation for branch extremities. Branch extremities are defined as regions having no overlap with any region in the next slice. Extrapolation helps generate smooth surface closings. |
| `useBallStructuringElement` |          *boolean*          | Use ball instead of default cross structuring element for repeated dilations.                                                                                                                      |
|  `labeledSliceIndicesAxis`  |           *number*          | Axis along which the labeled slice indices are defined. Default is -1 (that is, auto-detection).                                                                                                   |
|  `labeledSliceIndicesLabel` |           *number*          | Label of the slice indices. Default is 1.                                                                                                                                                          |
|    `labeledSliceIndices`    |          *number[]*         | List of labeled slice indices. Default is empty.                                                                                                                                                   |
|         `webWorker`         | *null or Worker or boolean* | WebWorker for computation. Set to null to create a new worker. Or, pass an existing worker. Or, set to `false` to run in the current thread / worker.                                              |
|           `noCopy`          |          *boolean*          | When SharedArrayBuffer's are not available, do not copy inputs.                                                                                                                                    |
