The thresh value must be in a range of 0.0 to1.0. The denoising is done on the grayvalue image, which - for a normalizedimage - spans the range 0.0 to 1.0. All values below the threshhold value willbe set to zero..IP "--postdenoise <thresh>"Apply soft denoising onto the fused grayscale image. The process is the sameas for the predenoise option..IP "--debug"Graphically display the fusion process steps. The first images are the inputimages (not denoised in case predenoising is used). Below, the fused grayscaleimage is displayed (denoised in case postdenoising is used). Below is thetopology map of the fused image. At last, the color map-reconstructed fusedimage is shown..IP outputimageThe filename of the fused image file to generate. Bug: JPG does not seem towork as output format. Use PNG instead..IP image[..]The input image files..SH BUGSThe outputimage cannot be a JPG file..SH AUTHORSebastian Nowozin <nowozin at cs dot tu dash berlin dot de>
