SImg processes astronomical images, providing valuable data for researchers.
SImg's support for Firewire cameras stands out, and includes support for long-term exposure modifications accompanied by a GUI that simplifies camera control, with real-time sharpness computation for streamlining the focusing process. Several methods for false color image generation, support for bayer color pattern images, multi-time exposures, read out noise and AD resolution computation, interference removal, and a visualization tool complement the camera feature set.
The software has many useful features such as deconvolution (Wiener, van Cittert's, Richardson Lucy and a new method), Video4linux support (for camera applications), computation of the PSF, multiple routines for color composition, algorithms for removing gradients, denoising, automatic shifting / rotation / ... of images, many possibilities for color value transforms, and polynomial or image based approximation.
This new release comes with support for Firewire cameras, support for various raw data formats, and support for Bayer color pattern images. Additionally, it comes with several new features such as improvements, bug fixes, and other additional features. Overall, SImg is an incredible software tool that comes with a wide range of features that cater to astronomical image processing requirements.
