The Tool for Merging and Comparing Multiple Image Sequences

Themodule FrameMerge offers you the comparison of several video sequences by image superposition/overlay or by split-screen/mosaic. Create descriptive result movies for documentation or representation.

The features of the module are designed acc. to the problems in the crash-test section:

Recordings from different cameras with varying lenses and possibly variable view cut-outs are to be combined precisely aligned. The objects often cannot be configured with respect to their color and the environment is mostly fixed, therefore only small differences between congruent images can be expected.

The user handling is analogous to the known FalCon eXtra modules:

A clearly laid out working window integrates all necessary steps. Preview and thumbnail images enable an easy visual assessment and show you the result of the merging process. All inputs and settings can be saved as a document; template files allow a quick repetition of a following test.

Express your test by multiple videos!

Input
  • Several channels (number not restricted) = temporal sequences of frames (raw image data or standard file formats) or AVI videos
  • Per each channel:
    time mapping, picture post-processing, rectification, section, zoom
    (see Picture Transformation in FalCon QuickView)

Assemble = Merge:
  • Overlay transparency adjustable per each channel
  • Free positioning of the channels in order to compensate different camera positions:
    translation, rotation, zoom and flipping.
  • Automatic positioning of the channels via reference markers
    (= steadiness control between the channels, currently in process )
  • Superposition / overlay modes to choose from:
    Sum, difference, minimum, maximum, pseudo-color (extensions currently in process)
  • Split-screen / mosaic up to 3x3 raster

Output:
  • Visual assessment in the working window
  • Standard picture file formats BMP, TIF, JPG
  • VI videos (uncompressed/compressed)

 

Technical Framework:
  • Program for PC workstations with WINDOWS 2000 / XP / 2003
  • User interface compliant to MS-Windows
  • FrameMerge is available as extension to the base module QuickView.
  • Technical specifications are subject to change
