NAME

       gpiv_img2gpiv  -  Converts  images  into raw data (extension .r) format
       with the belonging ASCII header file (extension .h)  or  into  the  hdf
       format (extension .hdf).

DESCRIPTION

       gpiv_img2gpiv converts images from a common image format (gif, tif etc)
       into  a raw data image with extension .r. Additionally, it generates an
       ASCII header file (extension  .h).  This  header  contains  information
       concerning  image  dimensions, color depth, single or double image (for
       auto or cross-correlation), time and spatial scales, position of pixel#
       (0, 0) in the experiment and some additional (non-required) parameters.

       gpiv_img2gpiv may also convert to hdf formatted images, with  extension
       .hdf, that might be used by gpiv.

       This  program  does  not  use the parameter resources from libgpiv. The
       default settings may be overruled  by  the  command  line  options,  as
       explained below.

Options

       -c | --cols ncolumns
              The number of columns of the image (default 1280).

       --combine
              If  the  images  have  been obtained separately, but will
              have to be  used  for  cross-correlation,  they  will  be
              combined  to  a  single image file for interrogating with
              gpiv_rr (or gpiv).  See also --suf_a/b and --suf_num.

       -h | --help
              On-line help.

       -hdf   Converts to  (or  from)  hdf  formatted  data  (extension
              .hdf).

       -i | --inverse
              Inverse  conversion; from raw 8-bit data to image format.

       --suf_a EXT
              In combination with --combine: the file_base_name of  the
              first  frame  to  be combined is extended with suffix EXT
              (default: _a).

       --suf_b EXT
              In combination with --combine: the file_base_name of  the
              second  frame  to be combined is extended with suffix EXT
              (default: _b).

       --suf_num N
              In combination with --combine:  If  images  are  numbered
              instead  of  with  --suf_a  and --suf_b. N represents the
              first of the two numbered frames which will  be  combined
              with  frame  N  +  1. The combined image will be named to
              file_base_nameN.r.  So, only odd or even numbered  images
              will  result to be loaded in gpiv_rr (or gpiv) for cross-
              correlation.

       -n     No execute, only print processes.

       -p     Prints process to stdout.

       -r | --rows
              nrows The number of rows in the frame of a  SINGLE  image
              (default  1024).  An image frame containing a PIV pair of
              images (to be used for cross-correlation) should have the
              double  amount  of  rows;  from  row #0 to row #nrows - 1
              contains the first image  and  from  row  #nrows  to  row
              #2xnrows - 1 contains the second image.

       -t     Image type or format (default bmp).

       -v | --version
              Print  version  information on standard output, then exit
              successfully.

       -x | --cross
              Double image for cross-correlation (default: single image
              for auto-correlation).
