I have improved my merging program that can read a low resolution AVI rather than numbers of BMP.
Still waiting for optics improvement…

Very good!
I'm sure they will improve even more when you get the final optics/slit.

This is the program I wrote.




It does not support mono8 encoding avi directly from SharpCap.
It may crash when processing high resolution avi.
It does not support bent spectral lines.
It can save result as 24bpp png only.


1. Select avi file that previously cropped by VirtualDub. (You can drag & drop the file to the address bar)
2. Drag the track bar to view frames
3. Click "First" or "Last" button to control the range to be merged
4. Click on the frame to select spectral line for merging.
5. "Line Width" is for changing the "bandwidth"
6. "Rotation" can help to rotate the spectral lines to better orientation
7. "Frame divide", frames to skip after each merging frame (don't know how to say, just try it)
8. "Horizontal mode" for avi that capture the spectral line horizontally
9. Click "Merge!" to get the result. Merged image will be saved automatically.

I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 to write the program.
I guess you need to have latest version .NET framework installed.

I just rebuilt the program to .NET 2.0 based, hope you don't need to install a new one.


BTW, I have received my 5 lucky lenses yesterday.
I have found that all the 5 lenses are better than the original one!
I have replaced the lens and pray for the image quality can be improved :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
