AberrationInspector script
« on: 2012 March 18 07:45:08 »
This is an update on some previous work that I'd like to share.

I was diagnosing a collimation issue and needed to send documentation to my vendor. I wanted to include subsections from the edges as well as the corners and centers of several subexposures, so I wrote this script as an improvement to AberrationSpotter that would do the job quickly.

The script's dialog is simple. You can generate mosaics from 2x2 up to 9x9 in size. The script works on the active view so it will make selections from a preview if one is active.

Comments welcome.

Thanks,
Mike

My previous work tried to do PSF estimation along with mosaic generation. I abandoned that approach in favor of a separate estimation script which I shared on another thread.

0.4 changes:
Added a view list to the dialog.

0.5 changes:
Cleanup code.

0.6 changes:
Added new instance button.

0.7 changes:
Preserve STF.

0.8 changes:
Allow dialog to open with no active view.

0.9 changes:
Hide console.
Fixed no target view bug.

0.10 changes:
Handle 'Execute in the global context' command.

0.11 - 0.12 changes:
Improved image window handling.

Works great! Nice tool for me to document star shape quality of various camera/lenses combinations at different apertures.

Just a note that I posted an update to the script above, I hope you don't mind. The dialog has a new source view selector and a new instance button that creates an icon. You can drag the icon to a view to create a mosaic quickly. To be helpful the view's STF is applied to the mosaic also.
