✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to mia-2dforce(1) 💖 — the part of the mia-2dforce manual where we learn it's literally about registering force between two 2D images. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mia-2dforce -i <src-file> -r <ref-file> -o <out-file> -c <cost>
[options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mia-2dforce 💅 — this image evaluates the force field between two images based on whatever cost function you hand it. that's the whole vibe. two images walk in, a force field walks out. iconic.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -i, --src-file=(input, required); io — the input image, you literally cannot skip it. 💖 if you wanna know which file types are even allowed here, go look at PLUGINS:2dimage/io down below.
• -r, --ref-file=(input, required); io — the reference image. also required, also no skipping. 🫶 and yep, supported file types live in PLUGINS:2dimage/io.
• -o, --out-file=(output, required); io — the output force norm image, i.e. where the glow-up gets saved. ✨ file types → PLUGINS:2dimage/io.
• -c, --cost=(required); string — which cost function to use. required, bestie, don't forget it. 🔥

💜 Help & Info 💜

• -V, --verbose=warning — how chatty the output is: it prints messages of the given level and higher priorities. supported priorities, starting at the lowest level, are:
  • trace — Function call trace
  • debug — Debug output
  • info — Low level messages
  • message — Normal messages
  • warning — Warnings
  • fail — Report test failures
  • error — Report errors
  • fatal — Report only fatal errors
• --copyright — prints the copyright info 📜
• -h, --help — prints this help
• -?, --usage — prints a short help
• --version — prints the version number and then dips, exit stage left 👑

🌈 Processing 🌈

• --threads=-1 — maximum number of threads to use for processing. this number should be lower than or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. and -1 means automatic estimation, she guesses for you. 🧚

🌟 PLUGINS: 2dimage/io 🌟

like, all the file formats she can read and write, served on a platter 💅

• tif — TIFF 2D-image input/output support
  • Recognized file extensions: .TIF, .TIFF, .tif, .tiff
  • Supported element types: binary data, unsigned 8 bit, unsigned 16 bit, unsigned 32 bit
• vista — a 2dimage io plugin for vista images
  • Recognized file extensions: .-, .V, .VISTA, .v, .vista

💖 EXAMPLE 💖

Evaluate the force between test.v and reference.v by using SSD ans save the norm of the force to forcenorm.v

mia-2dforce -i test.v -r reference.v -c ssd -o forcenorm.v
