NAME
       mogrify - mogrify an image

SYNOPSIS
       mogrify [ options ... ] file ...


DESCRIPTION
       Mogrify transforms an image or a sequence of images. These
       transforms include image scaling,  image  rotation,  color
       reduction, and others. The transmogrified image overwrites
       the original image.

       The graphics formats supported by mogrify  are  listed  in
       ImageMagick(k).

EXAMPLES
       To convert all the TIFF files in a particular directory to
       JPEG, use:

           mogrify -format jpeg *.tiff

       To scale an image of a cockatoo to exactly 640  pixels  in
       width and 480 pixels in height, use:

           mogrify -geometry 640x480! cockatoo.miff

OPTIONS
       Options  are  processed  in command line order. Any option
       you specify on the command line remains in effect for  the
       set of images that follows, until the set is terminated by
       the appearance of any option or -noop.

       For a  more  detailed  description  of  each  option,  see
       ImageMagick(k).

IMAGE SEGMENTATION
       Use  -segment  to  segment  an image by analyzing the his-
       tograms of the color components and identifying units that
       are  homogeneous  with  the  fuzzy  c-means technique. The
       scale-space filter analyzes the histograms  of  the  three
       color  components  of  the  image  and identifies a set of
       classes.  The extents of each class is  used  to  coarsely
       segment the image with thresholding.  The color associated
       with each class is determined by the  mean  color  of  all
       pixels  within the extents of a particular class. Finally,
       any unclassified pixels are assigned to the closest  class
       with the fuzzy c-means technique.

       The fuzzy c-Means algorithm can be summarized as follows:


       Build  a  histogram,  one  for each color component of the
       image.

       For each histogram,  successively  apply  the  scale-space
       filter and build an interval tree of zero crossings in the
       second derivative at each scale.  Analyze this scale-space
       "fingerprint"  to  determine which peaks or valleys in the
       histogram are most predominant.

       The fingerprint defines intervals on the axis of the  his-
       togram. Each interval contains either a minima or a maxima
       in the original  signal.  If  each  color  component  lies
       within  the  maxima  interval,  that  pixel  is considered
       "classified" and is assigned an unique class number.

       Any pixel that fails to be classified in the above thresh-
       olding  pass  is  classified using the fuzzy c-Means tech-
       nique. It is assigned to one of the classes discovered  in
       the histogram analysis phase.


       The fuzzy c-Means technique attempts to cluster a pixel by
       finding the local minima of the generalized  within  group
       sum  of  squared  error  objective  function.  A  pixel is
       assigned to the closest class of which the  fuzzy  member-
       ship has a maximum value.
