Usage
pdiff image1.tif image2.tif [options]
-verbose : Turns on verbose mode
-fov deg: field of view, deg, in degrees. Usually between 10.0 to 85.0.
This controls how much of the screen the oberserver is seeing. Front row of
a theatre has a field of view of around 25 degrees. Back row has a field of
view of around 60 degrees.
-threshold p : Sets the number of pixels, p, to reject. For example if p is
100, then the test fails if 100 or more pixels are perceptably different.
-gamma g : The gamma to use to convert to RGB linear space. Default is 2.2
-luminance l: The luminance of the display the observer is seeing. Default
is 100 candela per meter squared
