WAVELET(1)

NAME
wavelet - perform a haar wavelet decomposition/reconstruction

SYNOPSIS
wavelet [-1] [-2] [-d] [-r] [-# channels] [-t {c|d|f|i|l|s}] [-w width] [-n scanlines] [-s squaresize] [-S square_out_size] [-W width_out] < file > wavelet

DESCRIPTION
The wavelet command will perform Haar wavelet decomposition or reconstruction transforms on the input dataset. The command line options are: -d perform decomposition. -r perform reconstruction.
-1 perform a 1-dimensional (horizontal) transform. -2 perform a 1-dimensional (interleaved horizontal and vertical) transform. -# channels Indicates the number of values in each sample point. For example, to perform a transform on a pix(5) file properly, specify ``-# 3''. This causes the red, green and blue channels to be transformed individually. -t {cdfils} specifies the data type of the input, and hence the data type in which the wavelet calculations will be performed. The letters each stand for the first character of the C programming language data type: character, double, float, int, long, short. Note that if lossless decomposition and reconstruction are desired, then data sets should be converted to the next larger data type before being processed. -w width Specifiy the number of samples per scanline. -n scanline Specify the number of scanlines in the dataset -s squaresize Specify both width and scanlines simultaneously (square image). -W width_out Specifies the width of the output image. Normally this is 1 for a full decomposition/reconstruction. You may specify a width at which decomposition or reconstruction should stop. This number should be a power of 2. The result will be an ``average'' image of the specified size, with the remainder of the original data width converted to ``detail'' coefficients. See also: -R -R avg_size Resumes a transform that left off with an average image of avg_size. -S square_out_size This is the same as the -W option. It implies the square size for a 2D decomposition limit.

EXAMPLES
The command
decompose -# 3 < img.pix | pix-fb
will display the horizontal decomposition of the file img.pix. The command
decompose -# 3 -s 1024 -l 64 < img.pix >
will decompose a 1024x1024 image. The decomposition will stop when the image has been decomposed to 64x64. The output image will thus have a 64x64 version of the original in the lower left corner of the image, with detail terms in the remainder.
