pfsdisplayfunction(1)	    General Commands Manual	 pfsdisplayfunction(1)

NAME
       pfsdisplayfunction  - Apply display function to color or	gray-scale im-
       ages

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

DESCRIPTION
       Use  this command to convert pixel values to luminance /	radiance units
       displayed on a monitor or to perform inverse conversion.	 This  command
       is  useful in combination with the HDR-VDP to convert LDR images	to lu-
       minance maps representing images	shown on  a  particular	 display.  The
       display	function  specification	is identical to	the specification used
       in the pfstmo_mantiuk08 tone mapping operator (from  the	 pfstmo	 pack-
       age).

       If  neither --to-luminance nor --to-pixels option is specified, the ap-
       propriate 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
	      assumes  -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  dis-
	      plays and	is a compact way to specify a display function.	It as-
	      sumes 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, usu-
		   ally	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
		   display is on (default 1, usually from 0.3 to 1 cd/m^2)
	      k	-  reflectivity	of a screen (assuming that it is diffuse) (de-
		   fault 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 lux
			  A 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
	      particular 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 luminance from a distance,	such as	Minolta	LS-100 (as op-
	      posed  to	 those	that  use  rubber tube touching	a display that
	      eliminates the influence 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.
