<h1>ALE 0.7.x User Manual</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Purpose</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This page summarizes program operation and command-line usage for ALE
|
|
versions 0.7.0, 0.7.0-patch1, 0.7.1, 0.7.1-patch1, 0.7.1-patch2, and 0.7.2.
|
|
Features specific to a particular version are annotated (e.g. [ALE 0.7.1
|
|
only]).
|
|
|
|
<p>Manual pages linked from this section describe <a href="defaults/">default
|
|
settings</a>, <a href="file/">file output</a>, <a
|
|
href="alignment/">alignment</a>, <a href="rendering/">rendering</a>, <a
|
|
href="exclusion/">exclusion regions</a>, <a href="device/">devices</a>, and
|
|
<a href="3d/">3D scene reconstruction</a> (Very experimental; ALE 0.7.2 and
|
|
later).
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information on ALE, see the <a
|
|
href="http://auricle.dyndns.org/ALE/">ALE Home Page</a>.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Parameter Meta-syntax</h2>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><code> <foo></code></td>
|
|
<td>A required parameter called <i>foo</i>.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><code>[<foo>]</code></td>
|
|
<td>An optional parameter called <i>foo</i>.
|
|
</tr>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><code>[<foo>]*</code></td>
|
|
<td>Zero or more parameters <i>foo</i>.
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Command-line syntax for Image Processing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command-line invocation can be used to process a series of
|
|
frames into an output file:
|
|
|
|
<pre>ale [<option>]* <original-frame> [<supplemental-frame>]* <output-file></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Option Arguments</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Certain basic modes of operation, emphasizing image quality, speed, or other
|
|
rendering characteristics, are now established in the form of <a
|
|
href="defaults/">default settings</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Other options are outlined in the manual pages describing <a
|
|
href="file/">file output</a>, <a href="rendering/">rendering</a>, <a
|
|
href="alignment/">alignment</a>, <a href="exclusion/">exclusion
|
|
regions</a>, <a href="device/">devices</a>, and <a href="3d/">3D scene
|
|
reconstruction</a> (Very experimental; ALE 0.7.2 and later).
|
|
|
|
<h3>Image Files</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>ALE can be configured at compile time to use one of two different file
|
|
handlers. Execute 'ale --version' to determine which file handler is being
|
|
used. The table below outlines the supported formats for each file handler.</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="inline">
|
|
<td>
|
|
<table border>
|
|
<tr><th>Version Message</th><th>File Types Supported</th></tr>
|
|
<tr><td valign=top>
|
|
<pre>File handler: ImageMagick</pre>
|
|
</td>
|
|
|
|
<td>
|
|
Input and output files can be any of the <a
|
|
href="http://imagemagick.sourceforge.net/www/formats.html">formats</a> supported by
|
|
ImageMagick.
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td valign=top>
|
|
<pre>File handler: PPM</pre>
|
|
<td>
|
|
Input files must be PPM, and output files are written as PPM.
|
|
</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that many external programs, including ImageMagick's <a
|
|
href="http://www.imagemagick.org/">command line utilities</a>, can be used to
|
|
convert between PPM and other formats.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>See the README included in the source distribution of ALE for more information about
|
|
compile-time configuration of file handlers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Command-line syntax for Version Information</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following command-line invocation can be used to print version
|
|
information and build options:
|
|
|
|
<pre>ale --version</pre>
|
|
|
|
The following is sample output from this invocation:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
ALE Version: 0.7.2
|
|
File handler: ImageMagick
|
|
Color data: SINGLE
|
|
Coordinate data: SINGLE
|
|
DFT: Built-in
|
|
Assertions: Disabled
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first line of output indicates the version of ALE source code being
|
|
used; the remaining lines reflect the build options selected at compile
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information about build options, see the README file included in
|
|
the ALE source distribution.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Command-line syntax for Help Output</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>When invoked with no arguments, or an insufficient number of file arguments,
|
|
ALE outputs a help message specifying command-line usage and available help
|
|
topics. The following is a sample invocation:
|
|
|
|
<pre>ale</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Help Topics</h3>
|
|
|
|
More information about specific help topics can be obtained with an invocation
|
|
of the following form:
|
|
|
|
<pre>ale <help option></pre>
|
|
|
|
Available help options, and their corresponding help topics, are outlined
|
|
below:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
--hu Usage.
|
|
--hq Default settings.
|
|
--hf Image files.
|
|
--he Exclusion regions.
|
|
--ha Alignment (not exposure-related).
|
|
--hr Rendering (not exposure-related).
|
|
--hx Exposure.
|
|
--ht Transformation data files.
|
|
--hl Filtering (PSFs, rendering chains).
|
|
--hd Devices.
|
|
--hv Video stream processing (Experimental).
|
|
--h3 3D Modeling (Very Experimental). [ALE 0.7.2 and later]
|
|
--hz Undocumented options.
|
|
--hA Concatenate all help pages. [ALE 0.7.1 and later]
|
|
</pre>
