cim

Example

Fixed point number on 1 byte

To write a file using fixed point representation on 1 byte (char or unsigned char), one enter the fixed_point_factor values:

For example, to write in a file fixed_point_uchar.inr the pixel values 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 with fixed point representation on 1 byte (uchar):

pixel value	fixed_point_exponent	fixed_point_nbits	fixed_point_factor
0.1	0	8	25
0.2	0	8	51
0.3	0	8	76

echo 25 51 76 | cim -f -o 1 -x 3 > fixed_point_uchar.inr

Fixed point number on 2 or 4 bytes

To write a file using fixed point representation on 2 byte (short or unsigned short), or 4 bytes (int or unsigned int), one enter the pixel_value values.

For example, to write in a file fixed_point_ushort.inr the pixel values 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 with fixed point representation on 2 byte (ushort):

echo 0.1 0.2 0.3 | cim -f -o 2 -x 3 > fixed_point_ushort.inr
