NAME

6       hugin_stacker - stack overlapping images to a single image
7

SYNOPSIS

9       hugin_stacker [options] --mode=STRING images
10

DESCRIPTION

12       hugin_stacker acts on a stack of overlapping images and produces a
13       combined image and/or a set of masked output images.
14
15       hugin_stacker is useful for e.g.
16
17       •   automatic tourist removal (not only tourists, also other moving
18           objects ;-))
19
20       •   noise reduction
21
22       •   visualize movement
23
24       •   multiplicity
25

OPTIONS

27       --mode
28           Select stack mode:
29
30           min|minimum|darkest
31               Select the darkest pixel.
32
33           max|maximum|brightest
34               Select the brightest pixel.
35
36           avg|average|mean
37               Calculate the mean for each position.
38
39           median
40               Calculate the median for each position.
41
42           winsor
43               Calculate the Winsor trimmed mean for each position.  The
44               parameter can be set with --winsor-trim=NUMBER (default: 0.2).
45
46           sigma
47               Calculate the sigma clipped mean for each position.  Fine-tune
48               with --max-sigma=NUMBER (default: 2) and
49               --max-iterations=NUMBER (default: 5).
50
51   Further parameters
52       --output=FILE
53           Set the filename for the output file (if not given final.tif is
54           used).
55
56       --compression=value
57           Set the compression of the output files.  For jpeg files use values
58           between 0 and 100.  For tiff files valid values are: PACKBITS,
59           DEFLATE, LZW.
60
61       --bigtiff
62           Write output in BigTIFF format (only with TIFF output).
63
64   Mask input images
65       --mask-input
66           Beside the stacked output hugin_stacker can also mask the input
67           images (available only for stacking modes median|winsor|clip). This
68           mode is activated with --mask-input. In this case the stacked image
69           is first calculated. Then each pixel in each image is checked: if
70           the value of this pixel differs more then mask sigma * standard
71           deviation from the mean/median, this pixel is made visible. If it
72           is in the mentioned range the pixel is masked out.
73
74       --mask-sigma=NUMBER
75           sets the sigma parameter for --mask-input. Default is 2.
76
77       --mask-suffix=STRING
78           Output a separate mask image for each input image named
79           inputfilenameSTRING.  Default value is "_mask".
80
81       --multi-layer-output
82           Output a layered TIFF with the name specified with --output. The
83           file contains the averaged image as layer 0 and all input images as
84           additional layers with the mask as described above.
