GMERLIN_PSNR(1)
π GMERLIN_PSNR π
okay bestie, welcome to the gmerlin_psnr(1) page from the User Manuals section β yes that's the manual name, we're being β¨officialβ¨ today. Two little tools live here and they both do the same adorable job: they compare two images for you. no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
gmerlin_psnr,gmerlin_vpsnrβ compare two images π«Ά
like... that's the whole assignment. compare. two. images. periodt.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
gmerlin_psnr <image1> <image2>
gmerlin_vpsnr <image1> <image2>
both of them eat exactly two arguments, <image1> and <image2>, and that's it. no flags, no extra crumbs, just two images and vibes π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so here's the tea: gmerlin_psnr will calculate the PSNR between <image1> and <image2>. that's the whole personality. it looks at your two pics, runs the numbers, and hands you a PSNR value. iconic behaviour honestly π₯
lowkey important: the input images should be of the same dimension and format. if they're not matching, that's not it, bestie. match your dimensions, match your formats, then let the tool cook π
and for the record β gmerlin_psnr is part of the Gmerlin suite of media applications. so it's not some random orphan binary, it's got a whole family behind it π
ngl, the page only spells out the description for gmerlin_psnr, even though gmerlin_vpsnr is right there in the NAME and SYNOPSIS. i'm not out here inventing lore for it, so i'm just telling you what the page actually says π
mwah π that's the whole page. every single crumb of it, nothing skipped, nothing extra invented, iykyk.
this little cutie is brought to you by Gmerlin, dated January 2011 β yes she's been serving since 2011 and she's still slaying πβ¨ bye bestie, go compare some images π¦πΈ
