VTIFFTOVX | VisionX V4 |
vtifftovx − convert tiff images to visionx format
SYNOPSISvtifftovx [if=<infile>] [of=<outfile>] [-a] [-g] [-s] [-v] [-w]
DESCRIPTIONVtifftovx converts a tiff image or a set of tiff images to a visionx file. By default a single tiff image or a tiff image stack is converted to a visionx image sequence. If the -a option is specified, the if argument indicates a directory in which there are a set of individual tiff images. They are combined into a single visionx image file. This is very convenient for converting movie image sequences from video sources that can be dumped as a set of tiff images.
CONSTRAINTSOnly byte and (unsigned) short integer pixel formats are currently supported since the pnm package is used. The command tiffinfo must be available; the command tiffsplit is required to handle multi-frame tiff files; either of the commands pnmdepth or pamdepth are required to convert files with unsigned integer valued pixels. The order of combining of images using the -a option cannot be specified. The arguments if= and of= must always be specified explicitly.
