NAME

fbsharp - edge enhance a grayscale or color image  

SYNOPSIS

fbsharp [ -<type> ] beta < image > image
 

DESCRIPTION

Uses a digital Laplacian filter to enhance the edges. Typical values of beta run from 1 to 20. The default is 2. This command works for color images, but values of sharpening higher than 3 or 4 tend to create lots of noisy artifiacts in the image.

The fbhalf command also calls the sharpening code implicitly if the -s optional is passed to fbhalf.  

OPTIONS

<beta>
specifies the amount of sharpening. Typical values run from 1 to 10, higher values can cause snow.
-B
face format, as used by Bennet Yee's face program at CMU.
-F
FBM, format (by default, the default). You are guaranteed not to lose information by specifying FBM as the default.
-G
GIF, Compuserve GIF format.
-I
IFF format, interleaved bitmaps (ILBM), used by Amigas.
-P
PBM, Jef Poskanzer's bitmap format.
-S
sun, Sun rasterfiles (not run length encoded).
 

EXAMPLE

Since the -s option of fbahlf(1) exists, you will probably only run fbsharp on color images, which tolerate less sharpening. Here we sharpen an FBM format color image with beta=3 and quantize it for display on a Sun:


    % fbsharp 3.0 < foo.fbm | fbquant -S > foo.clr
