New Transient Filter to catch frames that "stick out".
01/23/2019 at 18:18 • 0 commentsI 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

Main processing engine on separate thread

Schlieren Pattern Generator companion app
05/31/2017 at 11:33 • 0 commentsI 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:
- Kivy user inerface and command line options for the pattern generator.
- Buttons can be hidden by clicking on <- or via command line option.
- An additional "RND" mode that creates a pattern of randomly distributed squares of equal size:
