heightfield2shading

Renders a 2D heightfield image into a shading image.

You can choose between lambertian model (diffuse reflectance) and specular model (Nayar reflectance model). You can also choose between a single directional light source (using -l{x,y,z} options) or use light source which emits in all direction (by specifying the light source position with -p{x,y,z} option). Another rendering mode is given from a bitmap reflectance map which represents the rendering for a normal vector value (mapped according the x/y coordinates).

Usage: heightfield2shading [input] [output]

Allowed options are:

Positionals:
  1 TEXT:FILE REQUIRED                  input heightfield file (2D image).
  2 TEXT                                output image.
 
Options:
  -h,--help                             Print this help message and exit
  -i,--input TEXT:FILE REQUIRED         input heightfield file (2D image).
  -o,--output TEXT                      output image.
  --importNormal TEXT                   import normals from file.
  --lightDir,--lDir,--ld FLOAT x 3      light source direction: lx ly lz.
  --lightPos,--lPos,--lp FLOAT x 3      light source position: px py pz.
  -s,--specularModel FLOAT x 3          use specular Nayar model with 3 param Kdiff, Kspec, sigma.
  -r,--reflectanceMap TEXT:FILE         specify a image as reflectance map.

Example:

$ heightfield2shading   ${DGtal}/examples/samples/bunnyHeightField.pgm  shading.pgm --lDir 0.0  1.0 1.0 --importNormal ${DGtal}/examples/samples/bunnyHeightField_normals.sdp -s 1.0 0.2 0.8

You will obtain such image:

Resulting image with a 90° ccw rotation
