.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 18 |
.I Normpat
|
| 19 |
normalizes one or more RADIANCE pictures to an average brightness of 1.0
|
| 20 |
and optionally removes fundamental frequencies and blends the edges
|
| 21 |
of the image.
|
| 22 |
The original images are overwritten during this process, and it is
|
| 23 |
recommended that the program work on copies of the pictures for this reason.
|
| 24 |

The
|
| 26 |
.I \-r
|
| 27 |
option can be used to set the maximum horizontal or vertical resolution
|
| 28 |
of the final result, which should not be greater than 256 for most
|
| 29 |
patterns (due to the associated memory burden during rendering).
|
| 30 |
The
|
| 31 |
.I \-f
|
| 32 |
option uses a Fourier transform to remove the lowest frequencies
|
| 33 |
from the image, reducing the noticeability of pattern repitition.
|
| 34 |
The
|
| 35 |
.I \-b
|
| 36 |
option can be used to blend the edges of the image so that when
|
| 37 |
it is tiled, the seams are less apparent.
|
| 38 |
The
|
| 39 |
.I \-v
|
| 40 |
option turns on the verbose flag, which prints on the standard output
|
| 41 |
progress messages as the script runs.
|
| 42 |
.PP
|
| 43 |
.I Normpat
|
| 44 |
is a shell script that makes calls to other RADIANCE programs
|
| 45 |
that do the actual work.
