vig_optimize \- Optimise photometric parameters
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Photometric calculation can be performed on the command-line with the
vig_optimize tool. This functionally is configured via 'v' variable lines in
the .pto project file in a similar way to the autooptimiser tool:
.PP
The camera response curve is simplified using the EMoR sensor model which
reduces the variation to five numbers, these are the Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd & Re image
(i) parameters (the default values of 0.0 are equivalent to an 'average'
generic sensor).
.PP
The vignetting model is represented by a polynomial with four parameters: Va
(this is always 1.0 and doesn't need to be optimised) and Vb, Vc & Vd (which
default to 0.0 \- equivalent to no vignetting). The vignetting centre can also
be different from the geometrical centre, this is specified by Vx & Vy (both
default to 0.0).
.PP
Exposure (\s-1EV\s0) is represented by a single value Ev (defaults 0.0, equivalent to
no-change).
.PP
The white balance is represented by multipliers for the red and blue channels
Er and Eb (the defaults of 1.0 are equivalent to no-change).
.PP
A typical 'v' variable line configuration would look like this, i.e. optimise camera response curve and vignetting for image 0 and exposure for images 1, 2, 3 and 4:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  v Ra0 Rb0 Rc0 Rd0 Re0 Vb0 Vc0 Vd0
\&  v Ev1 Ev2 Ev3 Ev4
.Ve
.PP
(vignetting centre and white balance are left unchanged)
