NAME

ppmrelief - compute a relief of a PPM image

SYNOPSIS

ppmrelief

[ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

ppmrelief reads a PPM image as input, and writes a relief of that image as a PPM image as output.

The relief process is described in "Beyond Photography" by Holzmann, equation 3.19. It's a sort of edge-detection and is essentially a convolution with this matrix:


| 1 0 0 |
| 0 0 0 |
| 0 0 -1 |

OPTIONS

There are no command line options defined specifically for ppmrelief, but it recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (See
Common Options
.)
