Telescope3D / News: Recent posts

I have implemented CVS services for Telescope3D.

The following modules are available:
charts
filters
filters/ornf
telescope3d-plans
utilities
utilities/tcv
utilities/qwave
fileformat
fileformat/qwave
interferometry
interferometry/cellular
interferometry/gimp-plug-in
telescope3d-gtk
telescope3d-vga

I will be posting a beginning version of the tcv() utility (http://sthigpen.freeshell.org/code.html#tcv) to the new utilities section. tcv() determines the similarities between datasets by finding patterns of different shapes and sizes which are common to the datasets. This also includes a library version which will be part of the ORNF filter, and other Telescope3D components.

Eventually I will be creating an assembly version from the C Code to work with AMD Athlon, AMD64, and other CPUs. This can increase performance dramatically, in some cases a full order of magnitude!

The ORNF Gimp Plug-in alpha-v2 version has been released. Still buggy/crippled due to memory handling problems.

I have also updated the notes files to include more on the masking process.

Due to the need for the extremely accurate imaging techniques used in Astrophotography, I am developing the .ex format.

This maybe an extension to the NetPBM format, possibly a PAM sub-format. The initial images will be created for storing the large pixel values derived from extracting extremely fined-tuned signals from CCDs.

I am also considering just keeping 2D graphs :-( for the initial plug-in version, because they will be easier to read in the small window on lower quality displays.

Right now there are 3 graphs (2.5 or 3 levels of Order)

1: Fitness of Images (based on mutation)

2: Fitness of Image Sets (based similarities between set elements) for a Single Control Case

3: Fitness of Image Sets (based similarities between set elements) for multiple control cases.... read more

I should be testing some of the hardware control for telescope3d from the coutryard observatoire at the University of Strasbourg. Photos and images will be posted as well.
