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)
