DigiFlow Description

The DigiFlow application was designed to provides a range of image processing features designed specifically for analysing fluid flows. The package is designed to be easy to use, yet flexible and efficient, and includes a powerful yet flexible macro language. Whereas most image processing systems are intended for analysing or processing single images, DigiFlow is designed from the start for dealing with sequences or collections of images in a straightforward manner. Main features: DigiFlow has been designed from the outset to provide a powerful yet efficient environment for acquiring and processing a broad range of experimental flows to obtain both accurate quantitative and qualitative output. Central to design philosophy is the idea that an image stream may be processed as simply as a single image. Image streams may consist of a sequence of images (e.g. from a ‘movie’), or a collection of images related in some other manner. Efficiency is obtained through the use of advanced algorithms (many of them unique to DigiFlow/DigImage) for built in processing options. Power and flexibility are obtained through an advanced fully integrated macro interpreter (using DigiFlow’s dfc macro language) providing a similar level of functionality to industry standard applications such as MatLab. This interpreter is available to the user either to directly run macros, or as part of the various DigiFlow tools to allow more flexible and creative use. Commercial versions of DigiFlow include additional features such as partial compilation to further improve performance. Although not an essential component, DigiFlow retains the potential DigImage released by the control of a framegrabber. Not only does this greatly simplify the process of running experiments, acquiring images, processing them, extracting and plotting data, but it also enables real-time processing of particle streaks and synthetic schlieren, for example.
