|
-type multiplicative_gaussian

[netpbmfile]
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of
Netpbm(1).
pamaddnoise adds the specified noise type to a Netpbm image.
pamaddnoise treats a PPM image as 3 independent planes, not as
a plane of colors in a color space.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see
Common Options
), pamaddnoise recognizes the following
command line options:
- -lambda value
-
This is the expected value of the Poisson distribution for a sample value
of mximum intensity. The expected value for other intensities is
proportional; e.g. for half intensity, it is half this value.
This is meaningful only with -type=poisson.
The default value is 12.
- -lsigma value
-
Used for laplacian noise only. The default value is 10.0.
- -mgsigma value
-
Used for multiplicative gaussian noise only. The default value is
0.5.
- -seed int
-
Used for all noise types. Set the initial random number generator
seed value.
- -sigma1 value
-
Used for gaussian noise only. The default value is 4.0.
- -sigma2 value
-
Used for gaussian noise only. The default value is 20.0.
- -tolerance ratio
-
Used for impulse noise only. The default value is 0.10. This means
that 5% of all pixel values will be set to 0 and 5% will be set to
the maxval
- -type noise_type
-
Select type of noise by name. The following noise types are
available: gaussian, multiplicative_gaussian, impulse, laplacian,
poisson. Only enough letters to be unique are required for the noise
type option. The default noise type is gaussian.

HISTORY
pamaddnoise was added to Netpbm in Version 10.29 (August 2005).
It had been distributed by Mike Burns via his own web site before that
(and continued to be so).
Burns' version, and the one in Netpbm 10.29, was called pnmaddnoise
and worked only on PNM images. In Netpbm 10.30, it was converted to handle
PAM images and renamed to pamaddnoise.
