.TH "RAW2TIFF" "1" "Dec 17, 2022" "4.5" "LibTIFF"
.SH NAME
raw2tiff \- create a TIFF file from a raw data file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBraw2tiff\fP [ \fIoptions ] *input.raw\fP \fIoutput.tif\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBraw2tiff\fP converts a raw byte sequence into TIFF.
By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples packed
(\fBPlanarConfiguration=1\fP), compressed with the PackBits algorithm
(\fBCompression=32773\fP), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.
These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified
with the options described below.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-H number
Size of input image file header in bytes (0 by default). This amount of data
just will be skipped from the start of file while reading.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-w number
Width of input image in pixels (can be guessed, see \fI\%Guessing the image geometry\fP below).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B option
\-b number
.sp
number of bands in input image (1 by default).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-d datatype
type of samples in input image, where \fIdatatype\fP may be one of:
.TS
center;
|l|l|.

.SH GUESSING THE IMAGE GEOMETRY
.sp
\fBraw2tif\fP can guess image width and height in case one or both of these parameters are
not specified. If you omit one of those parameters, the complementary one will
be calculated based on the file size (taking into account header size, number
of bands and data type). If you omit both parameters, the statistical approach
will be used. Utility will compute correlation coefficient between two lines
at the image center using several appropriate line sizes and the highest
absolute value of the coefficient will indicate the right line size. That is
why you should be cautious with the very large images, because guessing
process may take a while (depending on your system performance). Of course, the
utility can’t guess the header size, number of bands and data type, so it
should be specified manually. If you don’t know anything about your image,
just try with the several combinations of those options.
.sp
There is no magic, it is just a mathematical statistics, so it can be wrong
in some cases. But for most ordinary images guessing method will work fine.
