.SH NAME |

phisto - compute a luminance histogram from one or more RADIANCE pictures |

.SH DESCRIPTION |
9 |
.I Phisto |
10 |
is a script that calls |
11 |
.I pfilt(1), |
12 |
.I rcalc(1) |
13 |
and |
14 |
.I histo(1) |
15 |
to compute a histogram of log luminance values for foveal samples in |
16 |
the given picture files. |
17 |
A foveal sample covers approximately 1 degree, though this script does |
18 |
not use this exact area. |
19 |
The minimum and maximum values are determined, and 100 histogram bins |
20 |
are uniformly divided between these extrema. |
21 |
Foveal samples less than 1e-7 candelas/sq.meter are silently ignored. |
22 |
If no picture is named on the command line, the standard input is read. |
23 |
.PP |
24 |
The primary function of this script is to precompute histograms for the |
25 |
.I pcond(1) |
26 |
program, which may then be used to compute multiple, identical exposures. |
27 |
This is especially useful for animations and image comparisons. |
28 |
.SH EXAMPLE |
29 |
.PP |
30 |
To compute two identical tone mappings for image1.hdr and image2.hdr: |
31 |
.IP "" .2i |
32 |
phisto image1.hdr image2.hdr > both.histo |
33 |
.br |
34 |
pcond \-I \-h image1.hdr < both.histo > image1m.hdr |
35 |
.br |
36 |
pcond \-I \-h image2.hdr < both.histo > image2m.hdr |
