rcode2bmp - convert identifier, depth, and normal maps to BMP images
rcode2bmp [ -x xres -y yres ] input1.typ [ input2.typ .. ]
Ra_bmp converts each input map to a suitable visualization as a BMP image. Supported types include Radiance pictures, depth maps produced by rcode_depth(1), identifier maps from rcode_ident(1), and surface normal maps from rcode_norm(1). Each input file is identified by the FORMAT string it its header, and if it belongs to one of the supported types, a new file with the same name will be created with its suffix replaced by ".bmp". If a previous BMP file exists with the same name, it will be overwritten.
Radiance pictures are tone-mapped as if calling:
|
ra_bmp -e auto file.hdr file.bmp |
If the -x and -y options are given, these will be used as the maximum output image dimensions, and this holds for all input types.
Depth maps from rcode_depth are processed using falsecolor(1) with an appropriate scale and label.
Identifier maps from rcode_ident are assigned a random color for each identifier.
Surface normal maps are processed using an HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space that assigns normal orientation to a hue angle, and saturation runs from 0 when the normal is aligned to the view origin, to maximum saturation at tangential edges. Back-facing normals will be darker -- a normal in the direction opposite to the viewer being pure black.
