21=head1 OPTIONS
22
23=over
24
25=item B<-o> I<prefix>
26
27Output file
28
29=item B<-m> I<mode>
30
31Merge mode, can be one of: avg, avg_slow, khan (default), if avg, no
32B<-i>, B<-s>, or B<-d> options apply
33
34=item B<-i> I<iter>
35
36Number of iterations to execute (default is 1)
37
38=item B<-c>
39
40Only consider pixels that are defined in all images (avg mode only)
41
42=item B<-s> I<file>
43
44Debug files to save each iteration, can be one of:
45
46=over
47
48=item a - all debug files (can only be used alone)
49
50=item w - calculated weights from each iteration
51
52=item r - result image from each iteration
53
54=item s - source images before processing
55
56=back
57
58If verbose >= 3, all debug files are output unless specified
59
60
61=item B<-a> I<calcs>
62
63Apply one or more advanced calculations, can be one or more of:
64
65=over
66
67=item b - biasing weights logarithmically
68
69=item c - choose pixels with highest weight instead of averaging
70(overrides options B<-a> I<b> and B<-a> I<d>)
71
72=item d - choose a pixel with the highest weight instead of averaging
73when all pixel weights are within 10% of each other
74
75=item h - favour a high signal to noise ratio
76
77=item i - ignore alpha channel
78
79=back
80
81=for TODO: A blank line seems to be missing here.
82=end
83
84=item B<-e>
85
86Export each initial weight to <input_file_paths>_iw.<ext>
87
88=item B<-l>
89
90Load a previously exported initial weight with respect to the input
91file names
92
93NOTE: if both B<-e> and B<-l> options are on, the program will
94calculate and save the initial weights, then wait until user indicates
95that it can continue by loading the previously saved weights
96
97=item B<-v>
98
99Verbose, print progress messages, repeat for even more verbose output
100
101=item B<-h>
102
103Display help summary.
