Constructor

VipsImageradload

Declaration [src] 

int
vips_radload (
  const char* filename,
  VipsImage** out,
  ...
)

Description [src]

Read a Radiance (HDR) file into a VIPS image.

Radiance files are read as #VIPS_CODING_RAD. They have one byte for each of red, green and blue, and one byte of shared exponent. Some operations (like vips_extract_area()) can work directly with images in this format, but mmany (all the arithmetic operations, for example) will not. Unpack

VIPS_CODING_RAD images to 3 band float with vips_rad2float() if

you want to do arithmetic on them.

This operation ignores some header fields, like VIEW and DATE. It will not rotate/flip as the FORMAT string asks.

Sections of this reader from Greg Ward and Radiance with kind permission.
