3     .SH NAME
4     pfilt - filter a RADIANCE picture
5     .SH SYNOPSIS

13     .SH DESCRIPTION
14     .I Pfilt
15     performs anti-aliasing and scaling on a RADIANCE picture.
16     The program makes two passes on the picture file in order to
17     set the exposure to the correct average value.
18     If no
19     .I file
20     is given, the standard input is read.
21     .TP 10n
22     .BI -x \ res
23     Set the output x resolution to
24     .I res.
25     This must be less than or equal to the x dimension
26     of the target device.
27     If
28     .I res
29     is given as a slash followed by a real number, the input resolution
30     is divided by this number to get the output resolution.
31     By default, the output resolution is the same as the input.
32     .TP
33     .BI -y \ res
34     Set the output y resolution to
35     .I res,
36     similar to the specification of the x resolution above.
37     .TP
38     .BI -p \ rat
39     Set the pixel aspect ratio to
40     .I rat.
41     Either the x or the y resolution will be reduced so that the pixels have
42     this ratio for the specified picture.
43     If
44     .I rat
45     is zero, then the x and y resolutions will adhere to the given maxima.
46     Zero is the default.
47     .TP
48     .BI -c
49     Pixel aspect ratio is being corrected, so do not write PIXASPECT
50     variable to output file.
51     .TP
52     .BI -e \ exp
53     Adjust the exposure.
54     If
55     .I exp
56     is preceded by a '+' or '-', the exposure is interpreted in f-stops
57     (ie. the power of two).
58     Otherwise,
59     .I exp
60     is interpreted as a straight multiplier.
61     The individual primaries can be changed using
62     .I \-er,
63     .I \-eg
64     and
65     .I \-eb.
66     Multiple exposure options have a cumulative effect.
67     .TP
68     .BR -t \ lamp
69     Color-balance the image as if it were illuminated by fixtures of
70     the given type.
71     The specification must match a pattern listed in the lamp
72     lookup table (see the -f option below).
73     .TP
74     .BR -f \ lampdat
75     Use the specified lamp lookup table rather than the default (lamp.tab).
76     .TP
77     .BR \-1
78     Use only one pass on the file.
79     This allows the exposure to be controlled absolutely, without
80     any averaging.
81     Note that a single pass is much quicker and should be used whenever
82     the desired exposure is known and star patterns are not required.
83     .TP
84     .BR \-2
85     Use two passes on the input.
86     This is the default.
87     .TP
88     .BR \-b
89     Use box filtering (default).
90     Box filtering averages the input pixels corresponding
91     to each separate output pixel.
92     .TP
93     .BI -r \ rad
94     Use Gaussian filtering with a radius of
95     .I rad
96     relative to the output pixel size.
97     This option with a radius around 0.6 and a reduction in image width and
98     height of 2 or 3 produces the highest quality pictures.
99     A radius greater than 0.7 results in a defocused picture.
100     .TP
101     .BI -m \ frac
102     Limit the influence of any given input pixel to
103     .I frac
104     of any given output pixel.
105     This option may be used to mitigate the problems associated with
106     inadequate image sampling, at the expense of a slightly blurred
107     image.
108     The fraction given should not exceed the output picture dimensions
109     over the input picture dimensions (x_o*y_o/x_i/y_i), or blurring
110     will occur over the entire image.
111     This option implies the
112     .I \-r
113     option for Gaussian filtering, which defaults to a radius of 0.6.
114     .TP
115     .BI -h \ lvl
116     Set intensity considered ``hot'' to
117     .I lvl.
118     This is the level above which areas of the image will begin
119     to exhibit star diffraction patterns (see below).
120     The default is 100 watts/sr/m2.
121     .TP
122     .BI -n \ N
123     Set the number of points on star patterns to
124     .I N.
125     A value of zero turns star patterns off.
126     The default is 0.
127     (Note that two passes are required for star patterns.)\0
128     .TP
129     .BI -s \ val
130     Set the spread for star patterns to
131     .I val.
132     This is the value a star pattern will have at the
133     edge of the image.
134     The default is .0001.
135     .TP
136     .BR \-a
137     Average hot spots as well.
138     By default, the areas of the picture above the hot level
139     are not used in setting the exposure.
