split_alpha

Arguments:

  • _nb_scales[%]={ 0:Auto | -S<0 | N>0 },_subsample={ 0:No | 1:Yes },0<=_anisotropy<=1,0<=_minimize_alpha<=1

Description:

Split selected images into alpha detail scales.

If nb_scales==-S, the lowest scale has a size of at least SxS.
Parameter anisotropy is only considered when subsample=0.
Image reconstruction is done with command merge_alpha.

Default values:

nb_scales=0, subsample=0, anisotropy=0 and minimize_alpha=1.
