SCANIN

NAME

Scanin - Convert TIFF image of a chart into .ti3 device values.

DESCRIPTION

Convert TIFF image of a chart into .ti3 device values

SYNOPSIS

scanin [options] input.tif recogin.cht valin.cie [diag.tif]

:- inputs ’input.tif’ and outputs scanner ’input.ti3’, or

scanin -g [options] input.tif recogout.cht [diag.tif]

:- outputs file ’recogout.cht’, or

scanin -o [options] input.tif recogin.cht [diag.tif]

:- outputs file ’input.val’, or

scanin -c [options] input.tif recogin.cht scanprofile.[icc|mpp] pbase [diag.tif]

:- inputs pbase.ti2 and outputs printer pbase.ti3, or

scanin -r [options] input.tif recogin.cht pbase [diag.tif]

:- inputs pbase.ti2+.ti3 and outputs pbase.ti3

	-g		Generate a chart reference (.cht) file
	-o		Output patch values in .val file
	-c		Use image to measure color to convert printer pbase .ti2 to .ti3
	-ca		Same as -c, but accumulates more values to pbase .ti3 from subsequent pages
	-r		Replace device values in pbase .ti2/.ti3 Default is to create a scanner .ti3 file

-F x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4

Don’t auto recognize, locate using four fiducual marks

	-p		Compensate for perspective distortion
	-a		Recognise chart in normal orientation only (-A fallback as is) Default is to recognise all possible chart angles
	-m		Return true mean (default is robust mean)

-G gamma

Approximate gamma encoding of image

-v [n]

Verbosity level 0-9

-d [ihvglLIcrsonap]

Generate diagnostic output (try -dipn)

	i		diag - B&W of input image
	h		diag - Horizontal edge/tick detection
	v		diag - Vertical edge/tick detection
	g		diag - Groups detected
	l		diag - Lines detected
	L		diag - All lines detected
	I		diag - lines used to improve fit
	c		diag - lines perspective corrected
	r		diag - lines rotated
	s		diag - diagnostic sample boxes rotated
	o		diag - sample box outlines
	n		diag - sample box names
	a		diag - sample box areas
	p		diag - pixel areas sampled -O

outputfile Override the default output filename & extension.
