DEGHOSTING_MASK("1")

✨ deghosting_mask(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is deghosting_mask from the HUGIN manual, section 1 — and like, it's literally the tool that makes your stacked photos not look haunted 💀👻

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

deghosting_mask — the icon that creates mask for removing ghosting in images ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

deghosting_mask [options] <image1> <image2> ...

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: you feed it a whole series of aligned photos — usually three or more, no cap — and it generates masks for removal of ghosts. And by "ghosts" we mean Data that only appears in a minority of photos. Like your cousin who photobombed one frame of 12. Gone. Not me deleting your ex from the group shot 🙈💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -o, --output <path> — prefix for output masks 🎀 literally just tells it where the masks should go.
• -s, --sigma <float> — standard deviation of the Gaussian weighting function, and it gotta be SIGMA > 0; default: 30 🌸
• -i, --iterations <int> — number of iterations, default is (ITER > 0) default: 4 🌀
• -t, --threshold <float> — threshold; default: 150 ✨
• -c, --contrast <float> — change contrast before applying threshold; default: 1.3 💜
• -a, --advanced <f|g|m|t|w> — advanced settings, and honestly this is the main character energy part 👑. Possible options are:
  • f — use gray images for computation. It's about two times faster but it usually returns worse results. You also have to change threshold to smaller value (around 100) 😭
  • g — use gamma 2.2 correction instead of logarithm if input images are HDR 🌈
  • m — do not scale image, NOTE: slows down process 🐌
  • t — use simple threshold, may result in holes in images 💀
  • w — compute "complete" weights, not only probabilities ⭐
• -w, --save <i|w> — advanced save settings 🫶
  • i — save initial weigths
  • w — save generated weigths
• -b <int> — image cache BLOCKSIZE in kilobytes; default: 2048KB 🍓
• -m <int> — set image CACHESIZE in megabytes; default: 1024MB 🧚
• -h, --help — display this help 💖
• -v, --verbose <0|1> — verbose, repeat for more verbose output 🔍

fr fr bestie, don't forget f makes it faster but worse and you gotta drop that threshold to around 100, and m means no scaling which slows everything tf down. iykyk 💀
