pfsdisplayfunction(1)	     General Commands Manual	   pfsdisplayfunction(1)

NAME
     pfsdisplayfunction - Apply display function to color or gray-scale images

SYNOPSIS
     pfsdisplayfunction [--display-function <df-spec>] [--to-pixels | --to-lumi-
     nance] [--help] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION
     Use this command to convert pixel values to luminance / radiance units dis-
     played  on a monitor or to perform inverse conversion. This command is use-
     ful in combination with the HDR-VDP to convert LDR images to luminance maps
     representing images shown on a particular	display.  The  display	function
     specification  is	identical  to  the specification used in the pfstmo_man-
     tiuk08 tone mapping operator (from the pfstmo package).

     If neither --to-luminance nor --to-pixels option is specified,  the  appro-
     priate  conversion direction will be deducted from the LUMINANCE tag in the
     pfs stream.

OPTIONS
     --to-luminance, -l
	    Convert pixel values to absolute luminance / radiance units. For RGB
	    images the same display function is applied in each color channel.

     --to-pixels, -p
	    Convert absolute luminance / radiance units to pixel values. For RGB
	    images the same display function is applied in each color channel.

     --display-function <df-spec>, -d <df-spec>
	    The display function describes how output  luminance  of  a  display
	    changes with pixel values. If no parameter is given, the command as-
	    sumes  -df pd=lcd (see Pre-defined display below). There are several
	    ways to specify the display function:

     Gamma-gain-black-ambient display model

	    g=<float>:l=<float>:b=<float>:k=<float>:a=<float>[:n=<float>]

	    Gamma-gain-black-ambient model can approximate a range  of	displays
	    and  is a compact way to specify a display function. It assumes that
	    a display function has the following form:

	    L_d(I) = (l-b)*I^gamma + b + k/pi*a

	    The parameters are as follows:
	    g -  gamma or exponent of a display function (default  2.2,  usually
		 from 1.8 to 2.8)
	    l -  peak  luminance  of  a display in cd/m^2  (default 100, from 80
		 for CRTs to 500 or more for newer displays)
	    b -  black level, which is luminance of a black pixel when the  dis-
		 play is on (default 1, usually from 0.3 to 1 cd/m^2)
	    k -  reflectivity of a screen (assuming that it is diffuse) (default
		 0.01, usually about 0.01 (1%) for LCD displays, more for CRTs)
	    a -  ambient illumination in lux. Typical values are:
		 50 lux Family living room (dim, default)
		 400 luxA brightly lit office
		 32000 lux
			Sunlight on an average day (min.)
		 100000 lux
			Sunlight on an average day (max.)

     Pre-defined display

	    pd=<display_type>

	    Use  pre-defined display type. This options are for convenience only
	    and they do not mean to accurately model the response of a	particu-
	    lar display.  The following display types are recognized:

	    lcd_office (g=2.2, l=100, b=0.8, k=0.01, a=400 )
		   lcd set to "office" mode seen in bright environment
	    lcd        (g=2.2, l=200, b=0.8, k=0.01, a=60  )
		   typical lcd seen in dim environment (default)
	    lcd_bright (g=2.6, l=500, b=0.5, k=0.01, a=10  )
		   newer LCD TV seen in dark environment
	    crt        (g=2.2, l=80,  b=1,   k=0.02, a=60  )
		   CRT monitor seen in dim environment

	    The  parameters  in  the  parenthesis are the same as for the gamma-
	    gain-black-ambient model explained above.

     Lookup-table

	    lut=<file>

	    This is the most accurate  specification  of  the  display	response
	    function,  but  requires  measuring  it  with a luminance meter. The
	    lookup table should account also for ambient light, so  that  it  is
	    recommended to use the luminance meter that can measure screen lumi-
	    nance  from  a distance, such as Minolta LS-100 (as opposed to those
	    that use rubber tube touching a display that eliminates  the  influ-
	    ence  of  ambient  light). The <file> must be a comma-separated text
	    file in a format (CSV) with two  columns:  first  column  represents
	    pixel  values (from 0.0 to 1.0) and the second physical luminance in
	    cd/m^2. Both the pixel value and the luminance  should  increase  in
	    each raw.

EXAMPLES
     pfsin barbara.jpg | pfsdisplayfunction -l -d pd:crt -v  | pfsout bar-
     bara_crt.hdr

	    Convert  barbara.jpg  image  from pixel values to a luminance map of
	    the image shown on a CRT monitor and store the map as an HDR image.
