| Linux / Unix Command: pbmclean |
NAME
pbmclean - flip isolated pixels in portable bitmapSYNOPSIS
pbmclean [-minneighbors=N] [-black|-white] [pbmfile]You can use the minimum unique abbreviation of the options. You can use two hyphens instead of one. You can separate an option name from its value with white space instead of an equals sign.
Before December 2001, pbmclean accepted -N instead of -minneighbors.
DESCRIPTION
pbmclean cleans up a PBM image of random specs. It reads a PBM image as input and outputs a PBM that is the same as the input except with every pixel which has less than N identical neighbours inverted.The default for N is 1 - only completely isolated pixels are flipped.
(A value of N greater than 8 generates a completely inverted image (but use pnminvert to do that) -- or a completely white or completely black image with the -black or -white option).
pbmclean considers the area beyond the edges of the image to be white. (This matters when you consider pixels right on the edge of the image).
You can use pbmclean to clean up "snow" on bitmap images.
OPTIONS
- -black
- -white
-
Flip pixels of the specified color. By default, if you specify neither
-black
nor
-white,
pbmclean
flips both black and white pixels which do not have sufficient identical
neighbors. If you specify
-black,
pbmclean
leaves the white pixels alone and just erases isolated black pixels.
Vice versa for
-white.
You may specify both
-black
and
-white
to get the same as the default behavior.
