Additional Product Information
There are five main tools: Dehaze, Color Correction, AutoTile, Perspective, and Synthesis. The De-Haze tool removes;atmospheric haze effects from color photographs. This is mainly used with aerial photography and satellite;imagery to recover the underlying colors and contrasts of the surfaces. Texture patterns for simulation;should not have haze effects in the patterns because the simulator will add the haze effects separately. ;The Color Correction tool is used to change colors in an image to match real-world colors. The tool;includes a large library of colors determined by accurately measuring real-world objects. Classes of colors;in an image are re-mapped to the real-world colors selected by the user. ;The AutoTile tool starts with a large non-repeating image and derives a smaller texture pattern from the;image. The smaller texture pattern tiles seamlessly. The process is remarkably reliable, but there are;controls to adapt the tiling algorithm for special situations. ;The fourth tool for working with realistic images is the Perspective Tool. The Perspective Tool corrects;slight angles and straightens out lines that should be parallel. To make a proper texture pattern, the;photograph should always be taken perpendicular to the subject at a range far enough away so that all;physically parallel lines appear parallel in the image. When this is not possible, the photographer can;take the picture from a less desireable position, and straighten it out later with the Perspective Tool. ;The fifth tool permits interactive synthesis of texture patterns.
