💖 mia-2dmultiimagevar 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for mia-2dmultiimagevar(1) — yes she's a section-1 girlie and she's here to do exactly one job and do it gorgeously. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

mia-2dmultiimagevar — Evaluate the intensity variation of pixels in a series of images.

like. that's it. that's the whole thing. she looks at a stack of pics and tells you how much each pixel is vibing differently across them. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mia-2dmultiimagevar -o <out-file> [options] <PLUGINS:2dimage/io>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mia-2dmultiimagevar does the pixel-wise accumulated intensity variation of a whole set of images that you hand it on the command line. no cap.

if your input image files contain more than one image, then all of those images get used. she's not picky, she takes the whole friend group. 🫶

⚠️ but here's the thing — all images must be of the same size. literally all of them. don't try to sneak a different-sized image in there, it's giving chaos and she will not be having it. 😭

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -o, --out-file=(output, required); io — the output image 💾. For supported file types see PLUGINS:2dimage/io down below, babes.

🎀 Help & Info 🎀

• -V, --verbose=warning — verbosity of output. prints messages of the given level and higher priorities. the 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 — print copyright information 📜
• -h, --help — print this help 🙋
• -?, --usage — print a short help
• --version — print the version number and exit

⚡ Processing ⚡

• --threads=-1 — maximum number of threads to use for processing. this number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation). so like, -1 means "girl, you figure it out" ✨

🌈 PLUGINS: 2dimage/io 🌈

this is the whole roster of file-format besties she can read from / write to. each one has its own little moment:

• bmp — BMP 2D-image input/output support. the plug-in supports reading and writing of binary images and 8-bit gray scale images. read-only support is provided for 4-bit gray scale images. the color table is ignored and the pixel values are taken as literal gray scale values.
  • Recognized file extensions: .BMP, .bmp
  • Supported element types:
    • binary data, unsigned 8 bit
• datapool — Virtual IO to and from the internal data pool
  • Recognized file extensions: .@

  • Recognized file extensions: .DCM, .dcm
  • Supported element types:
    • signed 16 bit, unsigned 16 bit
• exr — a 2dimage io plugin for OpenEXR images
  • Recognized file extensions: .EXR, .exr
  • Supported element types:
    • unsigned 32 bit, floating point 32 bit
• jpg — a 2dimage io plugin for jpeg gray scale images
  • Recognized file extensions: .JPEG, .JPG, .jpeg, .jpg
  • Supported element types:
    • unsigned 8 bit
• png — a 2dimage io plugin for png images
  • Recognized file extensions: .PNG, .png

    • binary data, signed 8 bit, unsigned 8 bit, signed 16 bit, unsigned 16 bit, signed 32 bit, unsigned 32 bit, floating point 32 bit, floating point 64 bit
• 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

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

okay so say you wanna evaluate the pixel-wise intensity variation of the images i1.png, i2.png, i3.png, and i4.png, and store the result to var.v. iconic. here's the moment:

mia-2dmultiimagevar -o var.v i1.png i2.png i3.png i4.png

four images in, one variation map out. she ate. 🔥
