.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 |
