SImg 051009

SImg is a software for astronomical image processing. It contains a tool for visualization of highly dynamic images.
The package consists of a library and applications which use it. Some of the features are deconvolution (various methods), Video4Linux support, PSF computation, approximation by linear combination of images and polynoms, various color transforms, automatic shifting of image sets (for addition and color composition), and more.
Main features:
- Support for Firewire cameras (including support for longtime exposure modifications)
- GUI for control of Firewire cameras (with real time sharpness computation for simplifying focusing) [Screenshot]
- Support of many raw data formats for digital cameras (dcraw)
- Several methods for generating false color images
- Support of bayer color pattern images
- Multi time exposures (to increase the dynamic by combining different exposure times, e.g. to avoid blooming)
- Computing of read out noise and AD resolution
- Removing interferences
- Visualization tool [Screenshot]
- Deconvolution (Wiener, van Citterts, Richardson Lucy and a new method)
- Video4linux support (for cameras)
- Computing of the PSF
- Many routines for color composition
- Algorithms for removing gradients
- Denoising
- Automatic shifting / rotation / ... of images (for addition, color composition or cutting)
- Many possibilities for color value transforms
- Approximation by polynomials or images
Enhancements:
- Support for Firewire cameras, support of various raw data formats, support for Bayer color pattern images, and various additional features, improvements, and bugfixes.
