NAME

6       dconvlum - Convert VeriLUM files to DCMTK display files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dconvlum in-file out-file [ambient]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Command  line  program  that  converts VeriLUM file with characteristic
13       curve data (CCx_xx.dat) to a format used for the Barten  transformation
14       in  this  toolkit.  VeriLUM  is  a calibration package from ImageSmiths
15       consisting of a photometer (with serial RS232 connector) and a  Windows
16       NT software.

PARAMETERS

19       in-file   VeriLUM characteristic curve file to be converted
20
21       out-file  DCMTK display file to be written
22
23       ambient   ambient light (cd/m^2, floating point value)
24

NOTES

26       The output file describing the characteristic curve of a display system
27       (monitor) is a simple text file. Lines starting with a '#' are  treated
28       as  comments  and  therefore  skipped  as  well  as  blank  lines. This
29       conversion program creates such a file  automatically  (including  some
30       comment  lines)  by  transforming the information stored in the VeriLUM
31       file. The number following the magic word 'max' defines the maximum DDL
32       value (e.g. 255 for 8 bit displays). This definition is required before
33       the luminance data can be defined. Optionally the ambient  light  value
34       can be specified in this file too. The floating point value (in candela
35       per square meter) must follow the word  'amb'.  Finally  the  luminance
36       values  are  defined  for each corresponding DDL (device driving level)
37       value. The entries do not necessarily have to be ordered  or  complete,
38       i.e.  there  can  be  less  than  'max' + 1 entries. Missing values are
39       calculated by cubic spline interpolation.
