- NAME
- pgmnorm - normalize the contrast in a portable graymap
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pgmnorm [-bpercent N | -bvalue N] [-wpercent N | -wvalue N]
- [pgmfile]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Reads a portable graymap as input. Normalizes the contrast
- by forcing the lightest pixels to white, the darkest pixels
- to black, and linearly rescaling the ones in between; and
- produces a portable graymap as output.
-
- OPTIONS
- By default, the darkest 2 percent of all pixels are mapped
- to black, and the lightest 1 percent are mapped to white.
- You can override these percentages by using the -bpercent
- and -wpercent flags, or you can specify the exact pixel
- values to be mapped by using the -bvalue and -wvalue flags.
- Appropriate numbers for the flags can be gotten from the
- pgmhist tool. If you just want to enhance the contrast,
- then choose values at elbows in the histogram; e.g. if value
- 29 represents 3% of the image but value 30 represents 20%,
- choose 30 for bvalue. If you want to lighten the image,
- then set bvalue to 0 and just fiddle with wvalue; similarly,
- to darken the image, set wvalue to maxval and play with
- bvalue.
-
- All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
- prefix.
