Imports a cube from PNG, JPEG, JP2, BMP or TIFF format

Description
This program will import several standard image formats to an Isis cube.
The input image formats may include PNG, JPEG, JP2, TIFF, BMP, and GIF. Not all
formats are available as the program implementation depends on the Qt
library by TrollTech. This is not true of JPEG2000 files (JP2). It has
support in the ISIS3 library. By default, the number of bands in the output cube
will be one, three, and four when the input image is all gray, RGB,
and RGB with an alpha channel, respectively. The user can, however, specify
the color mode manually. The JP2 file can have any number of bands up to
16384. The output from a JP2 file will be a multi-spectral ISIS3 image file.
This parameter specifies the image mode for the output cube. If
GRAYSCALE, a single one-band cube will be created. If RGB, a
three-band cube is created. Finally, if ARGB is selected, then
a four-band cube will be created where the four bands correspond
to first Red, second Green, third Blue, and last Alpha.

Option
Brief
Description
AUTO
Automatically determine output mode
Checks to see if the image is a grayscale image, and if not,
if it has an alpha channel, and sets the output mode
accordingly.
GRAYSCALE
Grayscale mode
A single-channel image.
RGB
RGB mode
A three-channel image (red, green, and blue).
ARGB
ARGB mode
A four-channel image (red, green, blue, and alpha).
If this option is used input raw pixels below minimum and
above maximum will be converted to LRS and HRS respectively. Otherwise
pixels in the input raw file will be left unchanged in most cases. For
example, importing a raw 8-bit file and outputing to a 16-bit or 32-bit real will
cause 0 and 255 to be actual values. If left as 8-bit then 0 will
be NULL and 255 will be HRS.

Converting an image to an Isis Cube in Automatic mode
Description
This example will show the conversion from a color PNG image to a cube,
automatically determining the color mode. Here, the output image will
be a four-band ARGB cube, because the input image is both in color, and
has an alpha channel.
Command Line
std2isis from=input.png to=argb.cub
Convert the PNG to an Isis Cube, with the default option of
automatically determining the color mode

Output Images
Output Image in Black-and-White
Output Isis Cube with Grayscale
The four-band ARGB output image viewed in black-and-white with a
grayscale.
Output Image in Color
Output Isis Cube with RGB
The same four-band ARGB output image viewed in color with RGB
filtering (Band 1 = Red, Band 2 = Green, Band 3 = Blue). Note that
the image here appears brighter than the original, because qview has
auto-stretched the DN values, and can be adjusted back with qview's
"stretch" tool. The actual data, however, has not been changed.
Output Image in Color with Band 4 in Blue
Output Isis Cube with RGA
The same four-band ARGB output image viewed in color with RGB
filtering as in the previous image, but here Band 4 (the alpha
channel) is viewed through the Blue filter.
Example 2
Converting an image to an Isis Cube in Grayscale mode
Description
This example will show the conversion from a color PNG image to a cube,
with the color mode set to GRAYSCALE, meaning that the output image will
be a single-band black-and-white cube.
Convert the image input.png to the Isis Cube gray.cub. In order to
get a single-band black-and-white image, we set the mode equal to
GRAYSCALE.

Example 3
Converting an image to an Isis Cube in RGB mode
Description
This example will show the conversion from a color PNG image to a cube,
with the color mode set to RGB, meaning that the output image will
be a three-band color cube.
Command Line
std2isis from=input.png to=rgb.cub mode=rgb
Convert the image input.png to the Isis Cube rgb.cub. In order to
get a three-band color image, we set the mode equal to
RGB.

Output Image in Color
Output Isis Cube with RGB
The same three-band RGB output image viewed in color with RGB
filtering (Band 1 = Red, Band 2 = Green, Band 3 = Blue). Once
again, the output image appears to be brighter than the original due
to qview's auto-stretching, but can be adjusted in qview with the
"stretch" tool.
