EXAMPLES To convert a MIFF image of a cockatoo to a SUN raster image, use: convert cockatoo.miff sun:cockatoo.ras To convert a multi-page Postscript document to individual FAX pages, use: convert -monochrome document.ps fax:page To convert a TIFF image to a Postscript A4 page with the image in the lower left-hand corner, use: convert -page A4+0+0 image.tiff document.ps To convert a raw GRAY image with a 128 byte header to a portable graymap, use: convert -size 768x5.2.228 gray:raw image.pgm To convert a Photo CD image to a TIFF image, use: convert -size 1536x1024 img0009.pcd image.tiff convert img0009.pcd[4] image.tiff To create a visual image directory of all your JPEG images, use: convert 'vid:*.jpg' directory.miff To annotate an image with blue text using font 12x24 at position (100,100), use: convert -font helvetica -fill blue -draw "text 100,100 Cockatoo" bird.jpg bird.miff To tile a 640x480 image with a JPEG texture with bumps use: convert -size 640x480 tile:bumps.jpg tiled.png To surround an icon with an ornamental border to use with Mosaic(1), use: convert -mattecolor #ccc -frame 6x6 bird.jpg icon.png To create a GIF animation image from a DNA molecule sequence, use: convert -delay 20 dna.* dna.gif OPTIONS -adjoin join images into a single multi-image file. By default, all images of an image sequence are stored in the same file. However, some formats (e.g. JPEG) do not support more than one image and are saved to separate files. Use +adjoin to force this behavior. -antialias remove pixel aliasing. -append append an image sequence. All the input images must have the same width or height. Images of the same width are stacked top-to- bottom. Images of the same height are stacked left- to-right. Use +append to stack rectangular images left-to-right. -average averages an image sequence. -blur <radius>x<sigma> blur the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). -border <width>x<height> surround the image with a border of color. See X(1) for details about the geometry specification. -bordercolor color the border color. -box color set the color of the annotation bounding box. See -draw or for further details. See X(1) for details about the color specification. -cache threshold megabytes of memory available to the pixel cache. Image pixels are stored in memory until 80 megabytes of memory have been consumed. Subsequent pixel operations are cached on disk. Operations to memory are signifi- cantly faster but if your computer does not have a suf- ficient amount of free memory you may want to adjust this threshold value. -charcoal radius simulate a charcoal drawing. -coalesce merge a sequence of images. -colorize value colorize the image with the fill color. Specify the amount of colorization as a percentage. You can apply separate colorization values to the red, green, and blue channels of the image with a coloriza- tion value list delineated with slashes (e.g. 0/0/50). -colors value preferred number of colors in the image. The actual number of colors in the image may be less than your request, but never more. Note, this is a color reduction option. Images with less unique colors than specified with this option will have any duplicate or unused colors removed. Refer to quantize(9) for more details. Note, options -dither, -colorspace, and -treedepth affect the color reduction algorithm. -colorspace value the type of colorspace: GRAY, OHTA, RGB, Transparent, XYZ, YCbCr, YIQ, YPbPr, YUV, or CMYK. Color reduction, by default, takes place in the RGB color space. Empir- ical evidence suggests that distances in color spaces such as YUV or YIQ correspond to perceptual color differences more closely than do distances in RGB space. These color spaces may give better results when color reducing an image. Refer to quantize(9) for more details. The Transparent color space behaves uniquely in that it preserves the matte channel of the image if it exists. The -colors or -monochrome option is required for this option to take effect. -comment string annotate an image with a comment. Use this option to assign a specific comment to the image. You can include the image filename, type, width, height, or other image attributes by embedding special format characters: %b file size %c comment %d directory %e filename extention %f filename %h height %i input filename %l label %m magick %n number of scenes %o output filename %p page number %q quantum depth %s scene number %t top of filename %u unique temporary filename %w width %x x resolution %y y resolution \n newline \r carriage return For example, -comment "%m:%f %wx%h" produces an image comment of MIFF:bird.miff 512x480 for an image titled bird.miff and whose width is 512 and height is 480. If the first character of string is @, the image com- ment is read from a file titled by the remaining char- acters in the string. -compress type the type of image compression: None, BZip, Fax, Group4, JPEG, LZW, RunlengthEncoded, or Zip. Specify +compress to store the binary image in an uncompressed format. The default is the compression type of the specified image file. -contrast enhance or reduce the image contrast. This option enhances the intensity differences between the lighter and darker elements of the image. Use -contrast to enhance the image or +contrast to reduce the image contrast. -crop <width>x<height>{+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset>{%} preferred size and location of the cropped image. See X(1) for details about the geometry specification. To specify a percentage width or height instead, append %. For example to crop the image by ten percent on all sides of the image, use -crop 10%. Omit the x and y offset to generate one or more subim- ages of a uniform size. Use cropping to crop a particular area of an image. Use -crop 0x0 to trim edges that are the background color. Add an x and y offset to leave a portion of the trimmed edges with the image. -cycle amount displace image colormap by amount. Amount defines the number of positions each colormap entry is shifted. -deconstruct break down an image sequence into constituent parts. -delay <1/100ths of a second> display the next image after pausing. This option is useful for regulating the animation of a sequence of GIF images within Netscape. 1/100ths of a second must expire before the redisplay of the image sequence. The default is no delay between each showing of the image sequence. You can specify a delay range (e.g. -delay 10-500) which sets the minimum and maximum delay. -density <width>x<height> vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image. This option specifies an image density when decoding a Postscript or Portable Document page. The default is 72 pixels per inch in the horizontal and vertical direction. This option is used in concert with -page. -depth value depth of the image. This is the number of bits in a pixel. The only acceptable values are 8 or 16. -despeckle reduce the speckles within an image. -display host:display[.screen] specifies the X server to contact; see X(1). -dispose method GIF disposal method. Here are the valid methods: 0 No disposal specified. 1 Do not dispose between frames. 2 Overwrite frame with background color from header. 3 Overwrite with previous frame. -dither apply Floyd/Steinberg error diffusion to the image. The basic strategy of dithering is to trade intensity resolution for spatial resolution by averaging the intensities of several neighboring pixels. Images which suffer from severe contouring when reducing colors can be improved with this option. The -colors or -monochrome option is required for this option to take effect. Use +dither to render Postscript without text or graphic aliasing. -draw string annotate an image with one or more graphic primitives. Use this option to annotate an image with one or more graphic primitives. The primitives include point line rectangle roundRectangle arc ellipse circle polyline polygon bezier path color matte text image Point, line, color, matte, text, and image each require a single coordinate. Line requires a start and end coordinate, while rectangle expects an upper left and lower right coordinate. Circle has a center coordinate and a coordinate on the outer edge. Use Arc to cir- cumscribe an arc within a rectangle. Arcs require a start and end point as well as the degree of rotation (e.g. 130,30 200,100 45,90). Use Ellipse to draw a par- tial ellipse centered at the given point with the x- axis and y-axis radius and start and end of arc in degrees (e.g. 100,100 100,150 0,360). Finally, poly- line and polygon require three or more coordinates to define its boundaries. Coordinates are integers separated by an optional comma. For example, to define a circle centered at 100,100 that extends to 150,150 use: -draw 'circle 100,100 150,150' Paths represent an outline of an object which is defined in terms of moveto (set a new current point), lineto (draw a straight line), curveto (draw a curve using a cubic bezier), arc (elliptical or circular arc) and closepath (close the current shape by drawing a line to the last moveto) elements. Compound paths (i.e., a path with subpaths, each consisting of a sin- gle moveto followed by one or more line or curve opera- tions) are possible to allow effects such as "donut holes" in objects. Use color to change the color of a pixel. Follow the pixel coordinate with a method: point replace floodfill filltoborder reset Consider the target pixel as that specified by your coordinate. The point method recolors the target pixel. The replace method recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel. Floodfill recolors any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel and is a neighbor, whereas filltoborder recolors any neighbor pixel that is not the border color. Finally, reset recolors all pixels. Use matte to the change the pixel matte value to tran- sparent. Follow the pixel coordinate with a method (see the color primitive for a description of methods). The point method changes the matte value of the target pixel. The replace method changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel. Floodfill changes the matte value of any pixel that matches the color of the target pixel and is a neigh- bor, whereas filltoborder changes the matte value of any neighbor pixel that is not the border color (- bordercolor). Finally reset changes the matte value of all pixels. Use text to annotate an image with text. Follow the text coordinates with a string. If the string has embedded spaces, enclose it in double quotes. Option- ally you can include the image filename, type, width, height, or other image attribute by embedding special format characters. See -comment for details. For example, -draw 'text 100,100 "%m:%f %wx%h"' annotates the image with MIFF:bird.miff 512x480 for an image titled bird.miff and whose width is 512 and height is 480. To generate a Unicode character (True- Type fonts only), embed the code as an escaped hex string (e.g. \0x30a3). Use image to composite an image with another image. Follow the image primitive with a composite operator, image position, image size, and filename: -draw 'image Over 100,100 225,225 image.jpg' If the first character of string is @, the text is read from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string. You can set the primitive color, font color, and font bounding box color with -fill, -font, and -box respec- tively. Options are processed in command line order so be sure to use -fill before the -draw option. -edge <radius> enhance the edges of the image with a convolution filter of the given radius. -emboss <radius>x<sigma> emboss the image with a convolution kernel of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). -enhance apply a digital filter to enhance a noisy image. -equalize perform histogram equalization to the image. -fill color color to use when filling a graphic primitive. See -draw for further details. -filter type use this type of filter when resizing an image. Use this option to affect the resizing operation of an image (see -geometry). Choose from these filters: Point Box Triangle Hermite Hanning Hamming Blackman Gaussian Quadratic Cubic Catrom Mitchell Lanczos Bessel Sinc The default filter is Lanczos. -flip create a "mirror image" by reflecting the image scan- lines in the vertical direction. -flop create a "mirror image" by reflecting the image scan- lines in the horizontal direction. -font name use this font when annotating the image with text. If the font is a fully qualified X server font name, the font is obtained from an X server (e.g. -*- helvetica-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*). To use a TrueType font, precede the TrueType filename with a @ (e.g. @times.ttf). Otherwise, specify a Postscript font (e.g. helvetica). - frame <width>x<height>+<outer bevel width>+<inner bevel width> surround the image with an ornamental border. See X(1) for details about the geometry specification. The color of the border is specified with the -mat- tecolor command line option. -fuzz distance colors within this distance are considered equal. A number of algorithms search for a target color. By default the color must be exact. Use this option to match colors that are close to the target color in RGB space. For example, if you want to automatically trim the edges of an image with -crop 0x0 but the image was scanned. The target background color may differ by a small amount. This option can account for these differences. -gamma value level of gamma correction. The same color image displayed on two different works- tations may look different due to differences in the display monitor. Use gamma correction to adjust for this color difference. Reasonable values extend from 0.8 to 2.3. You can apply separate gamma values to the red, green, and blue channels of the image with a gamma value list delineated with slashes (e.g. 1.7/2.3/1.2). Use +gamma to set the image gamma level without actu- ally adjusting the image pixels. This option is useful if the image is of a known gamma but not set as an image attribute (e.g. PNG images). -gaussian <radius>x<sigma> blur the image with a Gaussian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). offset>{%}{!}{<}{>} -geometry <width>x<height>{+- }<x offset>{+-}<y preferred size or location of the image when encoding. By default, the width and height are maximum values. That is, the image is expanded or contracted to fit the width and height value while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image. Append an exclamation point to the geometry to force the image size to exactly the size you specify. For example, if you specify 640x480! the image width is set to 640 pixels and height to 480. If only one factor is specified, both the width and height assume the value. To specify a percentage width or height instead, append %. The image size is multiplied by the width and height percentages to obtain the final image dimen- sions. To increase the size of an image, use a value greater than 100 (e.g. 125%). To decrease an image's size, use a percentage less than 100. Use > to change the dimensions of the image only if its size exceeds the geometry specification. < resizes the image only if its dimensions is less than the geometry specification. For example, if you specify 640x480> and the image size is 512x512, the image size does not change. However, if the image is 1024x1024, it is resized to 640x480. There are 72 pixels per inch in Postscript coordinates. -gravity type direction text gravitates to when annotating the image: NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SouthWest, South, SouthEast. See X(1) for details about the gravity specification. The direction you choose specifies where to position the text when annotating the image. For example Center gravity forces the text to be centered within the image. By default, the text gravity is NorthWest. -implode factor implode image pixels about the center. Specify factor as the percent implosion (0 - 99.9%) or explosion (- 99.9 - 0%). -intent type use this type of rendering intent when managing the image color. Use this option to affect the color management opera- tion of an image (see -cms). Choose from these intents: Absolute Perceptual Relative Saturation The default rendering intent is undefined. -interlace type the type of interlacing scheme: None, Line, Plane, or Partition. The default is None. This option is used to specify the type of interlacing scheme for raw image formats such as RGB or YUV. No means do not interlace (RGBRGBRGBRGBRGBRGB...), Line uses scanline interlacing (RRR...GGG...BBB...RRR...GGG...BBB...), and Plane uses plane interlacing (RRRRRR...GGGGGG...BBBBBB...). Par- tition is like plane except the different planes are saved to individual files (e.g. image.R, image.G, and image.B). Use Line, or Plane to create an interlaced GIF or pro- gressive JPEG image. -label name assign a label to an image. Use this option to assign a specific label to the image. Optionally you can include the image filename, type, width, height, or scene number in the label by embedding special format characters. See -comment for details. For example, -label "%m:%f %wx%h" produces an image label of MIFF:bird.miff 512x480 for an image titled bird.miff and whose width is 512 and height is 480. If the first character of string is @, the image label is read from a file titled by the remaining characters in the string. When converting to Postscript, use this option to specify a header string to print above the image. Specify the label font with -font. -layer type the type of layer: Red, Green, Blue, or Matte. Use this option to extract a particular layer from the image. Matte, for example, is useful for extracting the opacity values from an image. -loop iterations add Netscape loop extension to your GIF animation. A value other than zero forces the animation to repeat itself up to iterations times. -map filename choose a particular set of colors from this image. By default, color reduction chooses an optimal set of colors that best represent the original image. Alter- natively, you can choose a particular set of colors from an image file with this option. Use +map to reduce all images provided on the command line to a single optimal set of colors that best represent all the images. -matte store matte channel if the image has one otherwise create an opaque one. -median radius apply a median filter to the image. -modulate value vary the brightness, saturation, and hue of an image. Specify the percent change in brightness, the color saturation, and the color hue separated by commas. For example, to increase the color brightness by 20% and decrease the color saturation by 10% and leave the hue unchanged, use: -modulate 120,90. -monochrome transform the image to black and white. -morph morphs an image sequence. Both the image pixels and size are linearly interpo- lated to give the appearance of a meta-morphosis from one image to the next. -mosaic create an mosaic from an image sequence. -negate replace every pixel with its complementary color (white becomes black, yellow becomes blue, etc.). The red, green, and blue intensities of an image are negated. Use +negate to only negate the grayscale pix- els of the image. -noise radius add or reduce the noise in an image. The principal function of noise peak elimination filter is to smooth the objects within an image without losing edge information and without creating undesired struc- tures. The central idea of the algorithm is to replace a pixel with its next neighbor in value within a pixel window, if this pixel has been found to be noise. A pixel is defined as noise if and only if this pixel is a maximum or minimum within the pixel window. Use radius to specify the width of the neighborhood. Use +noise followed by a noise type to add noise to an image. Choose from these noise types: Uniform Gaussian Multiplicative Impulse Laplacian Poisson -normalize transform image to span the full range of color values. This is a contrast enhancement technique. -opaque color change this color to the fill color within the image. See -fill for more details. -page <width>x<height>{+-}<x offset>{+- }<y offset>{%}{!}{<}{>} preferred size and location of an image canvas. Use this option to specify the dimensions of the Postscript page in dots per inch or a TEXT page in pix- els. The choices for a Postscript page are: 11x17 792 1224 Ledger 1224 792 Legal 612 1008 Letter 612 792 LetterSmall 612 792 ArchE 2592 3456 ArchD 1728 2592 ArchC 1296 1728 ArchB 864 1296 ArchA 648 864 A0 2380 3368 A1 1684 2380 A2 1190 1684 A3 842 1190 A4 595 842 A4Small 595 842 A5 421 595 A6 297 421 A7 210 297 A8 148 210 A9 105 148 A10 74 105 B0 2836 4008 B1 2004 2836 B2 1418 2004 B3 1002 1418 B4 709 1002 B5 501 709 C0 2600 3677 C1 1837 2600 C2 1298 1837 C3 918 1298 C4 649 918 C5 459 649 C6 323 459 Flsa 612 936 Flse 612 936 HalfLetter 396 612 For convenience you can specify the page size by media (e.g. A4, Ledger, etc.). Otherwise, -page behaves much like -geometry (e.g. -page letter+43+43>). To position a GIF image, use -page {+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset> (e.g. -page +100+200). For a Postscript page, the image is sized as in -geometry and positioned relative to the lower left hand corner of the page by {+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset>. Use -page 612x792>, for example, to center the image within the page. If the image size exceeds the Postscript page, it is reduced to fit the page. The default page dimensions for a TEXT image is 612x792. This option is used in concert with -density. -paint radius simulate an oil painting. Each pixel is replaced by the most frequent color in a circular neighborhood whose width is specified with radius. -pointsize value pointsize of the Postscript font. -preview type image preview type. Use this option to affect the preview operation of an image (e.g. convert -preview Gamma Preview:gamma.gif). Choose from these previews: Rotate Shear Roll Hue Saturation Brightness Gamma Spiff Dull Grayscale Quantize Despeckle ReduceNoise AddNoise Sharpen Blur Threshold Edge Detect Spread Shade Raise Segment Solarize Swirl Implode Wave OilPaint CharcoalDrawing JPEG The default preview is JPEG. -profile filename add ICC color or IPTC newswire information profile to image. Use +profile icc or +profile iptc to remove the respec- tive profile. -quality value JPEG/MIFF/PNG compression level. For the JPEG image format, quality is 0 (worst) to 100 (best). The default quality is 75. Quality for the MIFF and PNG image format sets the amount of image compression (quality / 10) and filter- type (quality % 10). Compression quality values range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). If filter-type is 4 or less, the specified filter-type is used for all scan- lines: 0: none 1: sub 2: up 3: average 4: Paeth If filter-type is 5, adaptive filtering is used when quality is greater than 50 and the image does not have a color map, otherwise no filtering is used. If filter-type is 6 or more, adaptive filtering with minimum-sum-of-absolute-values is used. The default is quality is 75. Which means nearly the best compression with adaptive filtering. For further information, see the PNG specification (RFC 2083), <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR>. -raise <width>x<height> lighten or darken image edges to create a 3-D effect. See X(1) for details about the geometry specification. Use -raise to create a raised effect, otherwise use +raise. -region <width>x<height>{+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset> apply options to a portion of the image. By default, any command line options are applied to the entire image. Use -region to restrict operations to a particular area of the image. -roll {+-}<x offset>{+-}<y offset> roll an image vertically or horizontally. See X(1) for details about the geometry specification. A negative x offset rolls the image left-to-right. A negative y offset rolls the image top-to-bottom. -rotate degrees{<}{>} apply Paeth image rotation to the image. Use > to rotate the image only if its width exceeds the height. < rotates the image only if its width is less than the height. For example, if you specify -90> and the image size is 480x640, the image is not rotated by the specified angle. However, if the image is 640x480, it is rotated by -90 degrees. Empty triangles left over from rotating the image are filled with the color defined as bordercolor (class borderColor). See X(1) for details. -sample geometry scale image with pixel sampling. -scene value image scene number. -seed value pseudo-random number generator seed value. -segment <cluster threshold>x<smoothing threshold> segment an image by analyzing the histograms of the color components and identifying units that are homo- geneous with the fuzzy c-means technique. Specify cluster threshold as the number of pixels in each cluster must exceed the the cluster threshold to be considered valid. Smoothing threshold eliminates noise in the second derivative of the histogram. As the value is increased, you can expect a smoother second derivative. The default is 1.5. See IMAGE SEG- MENTATION for details. -shade <azimuth>x<elevation> shade the image using a distant light source. Specify azimuth and elevation as the position of the light source. Use +shade to return the shading results as a grayscale image. -sharpen <radius>x<sigma> sharpen the image with a Laplacian operator of the given radius and standard deviation (sigma). -shear <x degrees>x<y degrees> shear the image along the X or Y axis by a positive or negative shear angle. Shearing slides one edge of an image along the X or Y axis, creating a parallelogram. An X direction shear slides an edge along the X axis, while a Y direction shear slides an edge along the Y axis. The amount of the shear is controlled by a shear angle. For X direc- tion shears, x degrees is measured relative to the Y axis, and similarly, for Y direction shears y degrees is measured relative to the X axis. Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the color defined as bordercolor (class borderColor). See X(1) for details. -size <width>x<height>+<offset> width and height of the image. Use this option to specify the width and height of raw images whose dimensions are unknown such as GRAY, RGB, or CMYK. In addition to width and height, use -size to skip any header information in the image or tell the number of colors in a MAP image file, (e.g. -size 640x512+256). For Photo CD images, choose from these sizes: 192x128 384x256 768x512 1536x1024 3072x2048 Finally, use this option to choose a particular resolu- tion layer of a JBIG or JPEG image (e.g. -size 1024x768). -solarize factor negate all pixels above the threshold level. Specify factor as the percent threshold of the intensity (0 - 99.9%). This option produces a solarization effect seen when exposing a photographic film to light during the development process. -spread amount displace image pixels by a random amount. Amount defines the size of the neighborhood around each pixel to choose a candidate pixel to swap. -stroke color color to use when stoking a graphic primitive. See -draw for further details. -strokewidth value set the stroke width. See -draw for further details. -swirl degrees swirl image pixels about the center. Degrees defines the tightness of the swirl. -texture filename name of texture to tile onto the image background. -threshold value threshold the image. Create a bi-level image such that any pixel intensity that is equal or exceeds the threshold is reassigned the maximum intensity otherwise the minimum intensity. -tile filename tile image when filling a graphic primitive. -transparency color make this color transparent within the image. -treedepth value Normally, this integer value is zero or one. A zero or one tells convert to choose a optimal tree depth for the color reduction algorithm. An optimal depth generally allows the best representa- tion of the source image with the fastest computational speed and the least amount of memory. However, the default depth is inappropriate for some images. To assure the best representation, try values between 2 and 8 for this parameter. Refer to quantize(9) for more details. The -colors option is required for this option to take effect. -units type the type of image resolution: Undefined, PixelsPerInch, or PixelsPerCentimeter. The default is Undefined. -verbose print detailed information about the image. This information is printed: image scene number; image name; converted image name; image size; the image class (DirectClass or PseudoClass); the total number of unique colors; and the number of seconds to read and transform the image. -view string FlashPix viewing parameters. -wave <amplitude>x<wavelength> alter an image along a sine wave. Specify amplitude and wavelength to effect the charac- teristics of the wave. Options are processed in command line order. Any option you specify on the command line remains in effect until it is explicitly changed by specifying the option again with a different effect. Some options only effect the decoding of images and others only the encoding. By default, the image format is determined by its magic number. To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). See DESCRIPTION for a list of valid for- mats. When you specify X as your image type, the filename has spe- cial meaning. It specifies an X window by id, name, or root. If no filename is specified, the window is selected by clicking the mouse in the desired window. Specify input_file as - for standard input, output_file as - for standard output. If input_file has the extension .Z or .gz, the file is uncompressed with uncompress or gunzip respectively. If output_file has the extension .Z or .gz, the file size is compressed using with compress or gzip respectively. Finally, precede the image file name with | to pipe to or from a system command. Use an optional index enclosed in brackets after a file name to specify a desired subimage of a multi-resolution image format like Photo CD (e.g. img0001.pcd[4]) or a range for MPEG images (e.g. video.mpg[50-75]). A subimage specifica- tion can be disjoint (e.g. image.tiff[2,7,4]). For raw images, specify a subimage with a geometry (e.g. -size 640x512 image.rgb[320x256+50+50]). Single images are written with the filename you specify. However, multi-part images (e.g. a multi-page Postscript document with +adjoin specified) are written with the filename followed by a period (.) and the scene number. You can change this behavior by embedding a printf format specification in the file name. For example, image%02d.miff converts files image00.miff, image01.miff, etc. The % character is always interpreted in output filenames. To get a % character in the filename, use %%. Prepend an at sign (@) to a filename to read a list of image filenames from that file. This is convenient in the event you have too many image filenames to fit on the command line. IMAGE SEGMENTATION Use -segment to segment an image by analyzing the histograms of the color components and identifying units that are homo- geneous with the fuzzy c-means technique. The scale-space filter analyzes the histograms of the three color components of the image and identifies a set of classes. The extents of each class is used to coarsely segment the image with thresholding. The color associated with each class is determined by the mean color of all pixels within the extents of a particular class. Finally, any unclassified pixels are assigned to the closest class with the fuzzy c- means technique. The fuzzy c-Means algorithm can be summarized as follows: o Build a histogram, one for each color component of the image. o For each histogram, successively apply the scale- space filter and build an interval tree of zero cross- ings in the second derivative at each scale. Analyze this scale-space ``fingerprint'' to determine which peaks or valleys in the histogram are most predominant. o The fingerprint defines intervals on the axis of the histogram. Each interval contains either a minima or a maxima in the original signal. If each color component lies within the maxima interval, that pixel is con- sidered ``classified'' and is assigned an unique class number. o Any pixel that fails to be classified in the above thresholding pass is classified using the fuzzy c-Means technique. It is assigned to one of the classes discovered in the histogram analysis phase. The fuzzy c-Means technique attempts to cluster a pixel by finding the local minima of the generalized within group sum of squared error objective function. A pixel is assigned to the closest class of which the fuzzy membership has a max- imum value.
