This software enables users to read, write, manipulate, and view HDR images and video frames, offering a complete range of tools for enhancing visual quality.
The pfstools project is a comprehensive set of command line programs and one GUI for viewing, reading, manipulating, and writing high-dynamic range images and video frames. All the applications in the package share data through a general, generic file format called pfs, created especially for HDR data. Essentially, the pfstools project has a similar concept as the netpbm package for low-dynamic range images.
The pfstools pack includes a library for reading and writing pfs files, which can be customised for writing applications that can blend the existing pfstools programs seamlessly. Additionally, pfstools are highly integrated with the high-level math programming language, GNU Octave. As a result, pfstools can act as an Octave extension for reading and writing HDR images, or simply for systematically storing large matrices.
It is important to note that pfs is not just another format for storing HDR images, as there are already various forms of them in existence. Instead, it provides a simple data format explicitly designed to integrate existing file formats by sharing data between applications. In conclusion, the pfstools project is an excellent choice for efficient manipulation of HDR images and video frames.
