.SH NAME
sp_weights \- Map auditory image frames onto spiral sector-weights contours.
(Input and output in binary shorts).

.SH SYNTAX 
sp_weights  [arguments]  [file]


.SH DESCRIPTION
Map auditory image onto spiral sector-weights contour.
Read auditory image frames (using "output" model option so that frames
have a pipes header for frame dimensions).
Use either gensai or genspl output, (but remember that their
default options are different, particularly pwidth, nwidth, and dencf).
For each frame, write a sector-weights contour on the stdout, consisting
of m binary shorts, where m is the given number of sectors.

The sector-weights are an economical representation of each frame (just
64 numbers per frame) from which both loudness and pitch-strength can be
computed.

.SH EXAMPLES
.LP 
echo q | genspl output=stdout file  |  sp_weights  >  file.wts
