You may use white +space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value. + + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpnmconvol\fP reads a Netpbm image as input, convolves it with +a specified convolution matrix, and writes a Netpbm image as output. +.PP +A command use for convolution is blurring. See examples in the +.BR "\fBpamgauss\fP" (1)\c +\& manual. + +.PP +Convolution means replacing each pixel with a weighted average of +the nearby pixels. The weights and the area to average are determined +by the convolution matrix (sometimes called a convolution kernel), +which you supply in one of several ways. See +.UR #convolmatrix + Convolution Matrix +.UE +\&. +.PP +At the edges of the convolved image, where the convolution matrix would +extend over the edge of the image, \fBpnmconvol\fP just copies the input +pixels directly to the output. It's often better to deal with the pixels near +an edge by assuming some blank or background color beyond the edge. To do +that, use \fBpnmpad\fP to add a margin all around whose size is half that of +your convolution matrix size, not counting its center, in the same dimension. +(E.g. if your convolution matrix is 5 wide by 3 high, use +\f(CWpnmpad -left=2 -right=2 -top=1 -bottom=1\fP). Feed that enlarged +image to \fBpnmconvol\fP, then use \fBpamcut\fP to chop the edges off the +convolved output, getting back to your original image dimensions. (E.g. +\f(CWpamcut -left=2 -right=-2 -top=1 -bottom=-1\fP). +.PP +The convolution computation can result in a value which is outside the +range representable in the output. When that happens, \fBpnmconvol\fP just +clips the output, which means brightness is not conserved. +.PP +To avoid clipping, you may want to scale your input values. For example, +if your convolution matrix might produce an output value as much as double the +maximum value in the input, then make sure the maxval of the input (which is +also the maxval of the output) is at least twice the actual maximum value in +the input. +.PP +Clipping negative numbers deserves special consideration. If your +convolution matrix includes negative numbers, it is possible for +\fBpnmconvol\fP to calculate an output pixel as a negative value, +which \fBpnmconvol\fP would of course clip to zero, since Netpbm formats +cannot represent negative numbers. + + +.UN convolmatrix +.SS Convolution Matrix +.PP +There are three ways to specify the convolution matrix: + + +.IP \(bu +directly with a \fB-matrix\fP option. + +.IP \(bu +In a file (or set of them) named by a \fB-matrixfile\fP option, whose +contents are similar to a \fB-matrix\fP option value. + +.IP \(bu +With a special PNM file. + +.PP +The PNM file option is the hardest, and exists only because +until Netpbm 10.49 (December 2009), it was the only way. +.PP +The regular convolution matrix file is slightly easier to read +than the \fB-matrix\fP option value, and makes your command line +less messy, but requires you to manage a separate file. With the file, +you can have separate convolution matrices for the individual color +components, which you can't do with \fB-matrix\fP. +.PP +In any case, the convolution matrix \fBpnmconvol\fP uses is a +matrix of real numbers. They can be whole or fractional, positive, +negative, or zero. +.PP +The convolution matrix always has an odd width and height, so that +there is a center element. \fBpnmconvol\fP figuratively places that +center element over a pixel of the input image and weights that pixel +and its neighbors as indicated by the convolution matrix to produce the +pixel in the same location of the output image. +.PP +For a normal convolution, where you're neither adding nor subtracting total +value from the image, but merely moving it around, you'll want to make sure +that all the numbers in the matrix add up to 1. If they don't, +\fBpnmconvol\fP warns you. +.PP +The elements of the matrix are actually tuples, one for each sample in the +input. (I.e. if the input is an RGB image, each element of the convolution +matrix has one weight for red, one for green, and one for blue. + + +.UN matrixopt +.B Directly On the Command Line +.PP +Here are examples of a \fB-matrix\fP option: + +.nf +\f(CW + -matrix=0,.2,0;.2,.2,.2;0,.2,0 +\fP + +.fi + +.nf +\f(CW + -matrix=-1,3,-1 +\fP + +.fi +.PP +The value consists of each row of the matrix from top to bottom, separated +by semicolons. Each row consists of the elements of the row from left to +right, separated by commas. You must of course have the same number of +elements in each row. Each element is a decimal floating point number +and is the weight to give to each component of a pixel that corresponds to +that matrix location. +.PP +Note that when you supply this option via a shell, semicolon +(";") probably means something to the shell, so use quotation +marks. +.PP +There is no way with this method to have different weights for different +components of a pixel. +.PP +The \fB-normalize\fP option is often quite handy with \fB-matrix\fP +because it lets you quickly throw together the command without working out the +math to make sure the matrix isn't biased. Note that if you use the +\fB-normalize\fP option, the weights in the matrix aren't actually the +numbers you specify in the \fB-matrix\fP option. + + +.UN matrixfile +.B Regular Matrix File +.PP +Specify the name of the matrix file with a \fB-matrixfile\fP +option. Or specify a list of them, one for each plane of the image. +.PP +Examples: + +.nf +\f(CW + -matrixfile=mymatrix +\fP + +\f(CW + -matrixfile=myred,mygreen,myblue +\fP + +.fi +.PP +Each file applies to one plane of the image (e.g. red, green, or blue), in +order. The matrix in each file must have the same dimensions. If the +input image has more planes than the number of files you specify, the first +file applies to the extra planes as well. +.PP +\fBpnmconvol\fP interprets the file as text, with lines delimited by Unix +newline characters (line feeds). +.PP +Each line of the file is one row of the matrix, in order from top to +bottom. +.PP +For each row, the file contains a floating point decimal number for each +element in the row, from left to right, separated by spaces. This is not just +any old white space -- it is exactly one space. Two spaces in a row mean +you've specified a null string for an element (which is invalid). If you +want to line up your matrix visually, use leading and trailing zeroes +in the floating point numbers to do it. +.PP +There is no way to put comments in the file. There is no signature +or any other metadata in the file. +.PP +Note that if you use the \fB-normalize\fP option, the weights in the +matrix aren't actually what is in the file. + + +.UN matrixpnm +.B PNM File +.PP +Before Netpbm 10.49 (December 2009), this was the only way to +specify a convolution matrix. \fBpnmconvol\fP used this method in +an attempt to exploit the generic matrix processing capabilities of +Netpbm, but as the Netpbm formats don't directly allow matrices with +the kinds of numbers you need in a convolution matrix, it is quite +cumbersome. In fact, there simply is no way to specify some convolution +matrices with a legal Netpbm image, so to make it work, \fBpnmconvol\fP has +to relax the Netpbm file requirement that sample values be no greater +than the image's maxval. I.e. it isn't even a real PNM file. +.PP +The way you select this method of supplying the convolution matrix is to +\fInot\fP specify \fB-matrix\fP or \fB-matrixfile\fP. When you do that, +you must specify a second non-option argument -- that is the name of the PNM +file (or PNM equivalent PAM file). +.PP +There are two ways \fBpnmconvol\fP interprets the PNM convolution matrix +image pixels as weights: with offsets, and without offsets. +.PP +The simpler of the two is without offsets. That is what happens +when you specify the \fB-nooffset\fP option. In that case, +\fBpnmconvol\fP simply normalizes the sample values in the PNM image +by dividing by the maxval. +.PP +For example, here is a sample convolution file that causes an output pixel +to be a simple average of its corresponding input pixel and its 8 neighbors, +resulting in a smoothed image: + +.nf + P2 + 3 3 + 18 + 2 2 2 + 2 2 2 + 2 2 2 + +.fi +.PP +(Note that the above text is an actual PGM file -- you can cut and paste +it. If you're not familiar with the plain PGM format, see +.BR "the PGM format specification" (1)\c +\&). +.PP +\fBpnmconvol\fP divides each of the sample values (2) by the maxval +(18) so the weight of each of the 9 input pixels gets is 1/9, which is +exactly what you want to keep the overall brightness of the image the +same. \fBpnmconvol\fP creates an output pixel by multiplying the +values of each of 9 pixels by 1/9 and adding. +.PP +Note that with maxval 18, the range of possible values is 0 to 18. +After scaling, the range is 0 to 1. +.PP +For a normal convolution, where you're neither adding nor +subtracting total value from the image, but merely moving it around, +you'll want to make sure that all the scaled values in (each plane of) +your convolution PNM add up to 1, which means all the actual sample +values add up to the maxval. Alternatively, you can use the +\fB-normalize\fP option to scale the scaled values further to make them all +add up to 1 automatically. +.PP +When you \fIdon't\fP specify \fB-nooffset\fP, \fBpnmconvol\fP +applies an offset, the purpose of which is to allow you to indicate +negative weights even though PNM sample values are never negative. In +this case, \fBpnmconvol\fP subtracts half the maxval from each sample +and then normalizes by dividing by half the maxval. So to get the +same result as we did above with \fB-nooffset\fP, the convolution +matrix PNM image would have to look like this: + +.nf + P2 + 3 3 + 18 + 10 10 10 + 10 10 10 + 10 10 10 + +.fi +.PP +To see how this works, do the above-mentioned offset: 10 - 18/2 +gives 1. The normalization step divides by 18/2 = 9, which makes it +1/9 - exactly what you want. The equivalent matrix for 5x5 smoothing +would have maxval 50 and be filled with 26. +.PP +Note that with maxval 18, the range of possible values is 0 to 18. +After offset, that's -9 to 9, and after normalizing, the range is -1 to 1. +.PP +The convolution file will usually be a PGM, so that the same +convolution gets applied to each color component. However, if you +want to use a PPM and do a different convolution to different +colors, you can certainly do that. + + +.UN otherconvol +.SS Other Forms of Convolution +.PP +\fBpnmconvol\fP does only arithmetic, linear combination convolution. +There are other forms of convolution that are especially useful in image +processing. +.PP +\fBpgmmedian\fP does median filtering, which is a form of convolution +where the output pixel value, rather than being a linear combination of the +pixels in the window, is the median of a certain subset of them. +.PP +\fBpgmmorphconv\fP does dilation and erosion, which is like the median +filter but the output value is the minimum or maximum of the values in the +window. + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBpnmconvol\fP recognizes the following +command line options: + + + +.TP +\fB-matrix=\fP\fIconvolution_matrix\fP +The value of the convolution matrix. See +.UR #matrixopt +Convolution Matrix +.UE +\&. +.sp +You may not specify both this and \fB-matrixfile\fP. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.49 (December 2009). Before +that, use a PNM file for the convolution matrix. + +.TP +\fB-matrixfile=\fP\fIfilename\fP +This specifies that you are supplying the convolution matrix in +a file and names that file. See +.UR #matrixfile +Convolution Matrix +.UE +\&. +.sp +You may not specify both this and \fB-matrix\fP. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.49 (December 2009). Before +that, use a PNM file for the convolution matrix. + +.TP +\fB-normalize\fP +This option says to adjust the weights in your convolution matrix so they +all add up to one. You usually want them to add up to one so that the +convolved result tends to have the same overall brightness as the input. With +\fB-normalize\fP, \fBpnmconvol\fP scales all the weights by the same factor +to make the sum one. It does this for each plane. +.sp +This can be quite convenient because you can just throw numbers into +the matrix that have roughly the right relationship to each other and let +\fBpnmconvol\fP do the work of normalizing them. And you can adjust a matrix +by raising or lowering certain weights without having to modify all the other +weights to maintain normalcy. And you can use friendly integers. +.sp +Example: + +.nf +\f(CW + $ pnmconvol myimage.ppm -normalize -matrix=1,1,1;1,1,1;1,1,1 +\fP + +.fi +.sp +This is of course a basic 3x3 average, but without you having to +specify 1/9 (.1111111) for each weight. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.50 (March 2010). But before Netpbm 10.79 +(June 2017), it has no effect when you specify the convolution matrix via +pseudo-PNM file. + +.TP +\fB-bias=\fP\fIn\fP +.sp +This specifies an amount to add to the convolved value for each sample. +.sp +The purpose of this addition is normally to handle negative convolution +results. Because the convolution matrix can contain negative numbers, the +convolved value for a pixel could be negative. But Netpbm formats cannot +contain negative sample values, so without any bias, such samples would get +clipped to zero. The bias allows the output image to retain the information, +and a program that pocesses that output, knowing the bias value, could +reconstruct the real convolved values. +.sp +For example, with \fBbias=100\fP, a sample whose convolved value is -5 +appears as 95 in the output, whereas a sample whose convolved value is 5 +appears as 105 in the output. +.sp +A typical value for the bias is half the maxval, allowing the same range on +either side of zero. +.sp +If the sample value, after adding the bias, is still less than +zero, \fBpnmconvol\fP clips it to zero. If it exceeds the maxval of the +output image, it clips it to the maxval. +.sp +The default is zero. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.68 (September 2014). + +.TP +\fB-nooffset=\fP +This is part of the obsolete PNM image method of specifying the +convolution matrix. See +.UR #matrixpnm +Convolution Matrix +.UE +\&. + + + +.UN history +.SH HISTORY +.PP +The \fB-nooffset\fP option was new in Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004), +making it substantially easier to specify a convolution matrix, but +still hard. In Netpbm 10.49 (December 2009), the PNM convolution +matrix tyranny was finally ended with the \fB-matrix\fP and +\fB-matrixfile\fP options. In between, \fBpnmconvol\fP was broken +for a while because the Netpbm library started enforcing the +requirement that a sample value not exceed the maxval of the +image. \fBpnmconvol\fP used the Netpbm library to read the PNM +convolution matrix file, but in the pseudo-PNM format +that \fBpnmconvol\fP uses, a sample value sometimes has to exceed the +maxval. + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pnmsmooth" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pgmmorphconv" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pgmmedian" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnmnlfilt" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pgmkernel" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamgauss" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pammasksharpen" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnmpad" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pamcut" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnm" (1)\c +\& + +.UN authors +.SH AUTHORS + +Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 by Jef Poskanzer. +Modified 26 November 1994 by Mike Burns, \fIburns@chem.psu.edu\fP +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
