FaceSaver Format Revealed
|
||
|
||
|
||
A FaceSaver image is an ASCII file containing some or all of the
|
||
following lines:
|
||
|
||
FirstName:
|
||
LastName:
|
||
E-mail:
|
||
Telephone:
|
||
Company:
|
||
Address1:
|
||
Address2:
|
||
CityStateZip:
|
||
Date:
|
||
PicData: Actual data: width - height - bits/pixel
|
||
Image: Should be transformed to: width - height - bits/pixel
|
||
(A REQUIRED Blank line)
|
||
|
||
Hexified picture in scanline order, in the form suitable for
|
||
printing in postscript. It is unpadded scanlines, I believe left to
|
||
right. If it is bottom to top it is due to funny transforms in going
|
||
from the real scanned image, which came from a video camera turned on
|
||
its side! (to get a portrait aspect ratio). All the images are 8
|
||
bits per pixel, and have been intensity levelled to use up the full
|
||
dynamic range (each pixel multiplied by 256/(max-min) and shifted so
|
||
that min becomes zero). I'm sorry about that, I should have put out
|
||
untransformed data. The original frame grabbing was off a Targa M8,
|
||
and the gamma varied due to a number of real world factors. Most
|
||
pictures had a dynamic range in the 128--196 vicinity.
|
||
|
||
The line labeled Image: can be used to correct for non-square pixels.
|
||
In most cases, there are 108 (non-square) pixels across in the data,
|
||
but they would have been 96 pixels across if they were square.
|
||
Therefore, Image: says 96, PicData says 108.
