+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B gen_corvi_sig
+is a program to generate a signature to be
+embedded with the
+.B wm_corvi_e
+watermarking program and extracted with the
+.B wm_corvi_d
+program. The
+.B cmp_corvi_sig
+program is used to compare and test an
+extracted signature with the original signature.

+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-a \ number
+Alpha factor that determines embedding strength of the signature. Default
+value 0.3.
+.TP
+.BI \-d \ number
+Deviation for the normal distributed signature values, default 1.0.
+.TP
+.BI \-e \ number
+The filtering method for the forward wavelet transform. Default value
+1.
+.TP
+.BI \-F \ ffile
+The filter definition file. Default
+.I filter.dat.
+.TP
+.BI \-f \ number
+Use the
+.I number
+filter from the filter definition file,
+.I ffile. Default: 1.
+.TP
+.BI \-g \ number
+The filtering method for the inverse wavelet transform. Default value
+2.
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a help message.
+.TP
+.BI \-m \ number
+Mean of the normal distributed signature values, default 0.0.
+.TP
+.BI \-n \ number
+Length of the watermark. Default value 100.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ file
+Output signature to the specified
+.I file
+instead of standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-q \ number
+Quantization/quality factor. Default value 3.
+.TP
+.BI \-s \ number
+Specify a seed value to initialize the pseudo-random number
+generator; if not specified, time and pid (process id) are used
+to initialize the pseudo-random number generator.
+.PP
+.SH OUTPUT
+The output file has the following format:
+.TP
+.B CVSG
+Magic to identify file type.

+.TP
+.I number
+The quantization/quality factor.
+.TP
+.I number
+The wavelet forward transform filtering method.
+.TP
+.I number
+The wavelet filter number.
+.TP
+.I file
+The wavelet filter definition file name.
+.TP 
+.I number
+The wavelet inverse transform filtering method.
+.TP
+.I numbers
+The actual normal distributed signature values, one per line.
