hyper2color

ABOUT

hyper2color is a tool for generating accurate colorimetric images from hyperspectral reflectance data.

Output is in TIFF format using the requested illuminant or color temperature using the sRGB, AdobeRGB or CIELAB output color spaces and using requested compression.

Requested color temperature can be a standard temperature (D65, D50, D75, D93, A) or a temperature in degrees Kelvin (eg: 5000 for a temperature of 5000K) Alternatively, an artibrary illuminant power spectrum can be provided containing a list of wavelengths and power values.

Input files must be in 16bit BIL (Band Interleaved Line) format. Currently only headers from Hyspex cameras can be read automatically. For ENVI-compatible data, set the width, height, number of bands and list of wavelengths manually on the command line.

Output bits per channel can be 8, 16 or 32 bits, where 8 and 16 are encoded as unsigned integer and 32 is encoded as floating point.

Example usage: hyper2color -i data.img -o calibrated_color.tif -t D65

REQUIREMENTS

Compilation requirements: libgsl, libtiff, zlib and libjpeg development and runtime libraries.

BUILDING

Use the standard autoconf build process to compile.

If this is an SVN or Git development version, first generate the autoconfigure environment using autogen.sh:

./autogen.sh

Otherwise for release versions, use configure directly:

./configure
make
