26.TH RAW2TIFF 1 "November 2, 2005" "libtiff"
27.SH NAME
28raw2tiff \- create a
29.SM TIFF
30file from a raw data
31.SH SYNOPSIS
32.B raw2tiff
33[
34.I options
35]
36.I input.raw
37.I output.tif
38.SH DESCRIPTION
39.I raw2tiff
40converts a raw byte sequence into
41.SM TIFF.
42By default, the
43.SM TIFF
44image is created with data samples packed (\c
45.IR PlanarConfiguration =1),
46compressed with the PackBits algorithm (\c
47.IR Compression = 32773),
48and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
49These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
50with the options described below.
51.SH OPTIONS
52.TP
53.B \-H <number>
54size of input image file header in bytes (0 by default). This amount of data
55just will be skipped from the start of file while reading.
56.TP
57.B \-w <number>
58width of input image in pixels (can be guessed, see
59.SM
60.B "GUESSING THE IMAGE GEOMETRY"
61below).
62.TP
63.B \-l <number>
64length of input image in lines(can be guessed, see
65.SM
66.B "GUESSING THE IMAGE GEOMETRY"
67below).
68.TP
69.B \-b <number>
70number of bands in input image (1 by default).
71.TP
72.B \-d data_type
73type of samples in input image, where
74.B data_type
75may be:
76.br
77.I byte\t\t
788-bit unsigned integer (default),
79.br
80.I short\t
8116-bit unsigned integer,

89.I sshort\t
9016-bit signed integer,
91.br
92.I slong\t
9332-bit signed integer,
94.br
95.I float\t
9632-bit IEEE floating point,
97.br
98.I double\t
9964-bit IEEE floating point,
100.TP
101.B \-i config
102type of samples interleaving in input image, where
103.B config
104may be:
105.br
106.I pixel\t
107pixel interleaved data (default),
108.br
109.I band\t\t
110band interleaved data.
111.TP
112.B \-p photo
113photometric interpretation (color space) of the input image, where
114.B photo
115may be:
116.br
117.I miniswhite
118white color represented with 0 value,
119.br
120.I minisblack
121black color represented with 0 value (default),
122.br
123.I rgb\t\t
124image has RGB color model,
125.br
126.I cmyk\t\t
127image has CMYK (separated) color model,
128.br
129.I ycbcr\t\t
130image has YCbCr color model,
131.br
132.I cielab\t
133image has CIE L*a*b color model,
134.br
135.I icclab\t
136image has ICC L*a*b color model,
137.br
138.I itulab\t
139image has ITU L*a*b color model,
140.TP
141.B \-s
142swap bytes fetched from the input file.
143.TP
144.B \-L
145input data has LSB2MSB bit order (default).
146.TP
147.B \-M
148input data has MSB2LSB bit order.
149.TP
150.B \-c
151Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
152.B "\-c none"
153for no compression,
154.B "-c packbits"
155for the PackBits compression algorithm (the default),
156.B "-c jpeg"
157for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
158.B "-c zip
159for the Deflate compression algorithm,
160and
161.B "\-c lzw"
162for Lempel-Ziv & Welch.
163.TP
164.B \-r <number>
165Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
166by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
167is approximately 8 kilobytes.
168.SH GUESSING THE IMAGE GEOMETRY
169.I raw2tiff
170can guess image width and height in case one or both of these parameters are
171not specified. If you omit one of those parameters, the complementary one will
172be calculated based on the file size (taking into account header size, number
173of bands and data type). If you omit both parameters, the statistical approach
174will be used. Utility will compute correlation coefficient between two lines
175at the image center using several appropriate line sizes and the highest
176absolute value of the coefficient will indicate the right line size. That is
177why you should be cautious with the very large images, because guessing
178process may take a while (depending on your system performance). Of course, the
179utility can't guess the header size, number of bands and data type, so it
180should be specified manually. If you don't know anything about your image,
181just try with the several combinations of those options.
182.P
183There is no magic, it is just a mathematical statistics, so it can be wrong
184in some cases. But for most ordinary images guessing method will work fine.
