Image enhancement and analysis functions
Schlieren Videography example:
Generic Video Effects:
I have added a simple transient filter. The current frame is compared to the last frame. If the mean intensity differs more than the set trigger threshold, then the frame is displayed and/or recorded.
With logging (-l / --log) enabled, the mean intensity of the current frame and the difference to the previous frame are logged together with time stamps. Output is either to a file or STDOUT.
Some Possible applications:
- Schlieren Photography / Videography of short events (lighting of match etc.)
- Detection of meteors / shooting stars in Astrophotography
The main processing "engine" is now running in its own thread. Slow cameras are no longer slowing down the user interface. The framerate of the frame grabbing / processing can now be set with the command line option --frames_second
I removed the schlieren pattern generator part from PyFSPro because Kivy can only handle a single window. However there is no need to worry! The Schlieren Pattern Generator is now a separate application that can be downloaded / cloned from GitHub: https://github.com/mark-orion/Schlieren_PG
Whats New:
I have added installation instructions for those who are (still) using Windows:
https://github.com/mark-orion/PyFSPro/blob/master/INSTALL_WIN.md
This Windows installation example uses Anaconda as Python environment.
