JPEGHOTP(1)

hiii bestie 💖 you just opened the JPEGHOTP(1) manual and honestly? iconic. let's get into it.

🎀 NAME 🎀

jpeghotp — find hot or dead pixels in otherwise black or white JPEG images

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jpeghotp [OPTION]... JPEG-FILE [PIXEL-BLOCKS-FILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so jpeghotp automatically finds hot pixels in an otherwise black JPEG image (that's the default, bestie) or dead pixels in an otherwise white JPEG image (only if you pass --invert). The output is suitable as a pixel block specification file for jpegpixi(1). A typical application is processing an image taken with a digital camera with CCD defects.

To obtain a black image, take a picture in total darkness or with covered lens. To obtain a white image, take an overexposed picture of a well-lit piece of white paper. yes queen, expose that paper.

JPEG-FILE is the filename of the JPEG image to read. It can be -, which refers to standard input.

PIXEL-BLOCKS-FILE is the name of the file to write the coordinates and sizes of the hot (or dead) pixel blocks to. If it is omitted, the coordinates and sizes are written to standard output.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -t THRESHOLD, --threshold=THRESHOLD — specify the threshold between noise and signal. Pixel luminosities below the threshold are considered CCD noise, luminosities above are considered hot pixels. THRESHOLD must be a number between 0 and 100 followed by a percent character (%). The default is 10%.
• -i, --invert — invert the image. If this option is specified, dead pixels in an otherwise white image instead of hot pixels in an otherwise black image are found.
• -c, --comments — output comments with the luminosities of the hot (or dead) pixel blocks. This can be helpful in hand tuning the pixel blocks file.
• --help — display a short help text and exit immediately.
• --version — display version information and exit immediately.
