BPP Workflow for Bayer Drizzle on DSLR images
« on: 2014 July 10 11:58:37 »
I'd like to confirm the correct workflow when using the BPP script to perform Bayer Drizzle on DSLR images.  Does the following process flow look correct?

*  Set up BPP normally, but make sure the Lights tab has Bayer Drizzle and Generate Drizzle Data checked.
*  After the BPP script completes the folder structure will contain .drz files in the following locations
    *  $OUTPUT_DIR/registered  - The files in this directory point to the DEBAYERED files
    *  $OUTPUT_DIR/registered/bayer - The files in this directory point to the BAYER files in $OUTPUT_DIR/calibrated/light/bayer
*  Run ImageIntegration using the .drz files in $OUTPUT_DIR/registered/bayer and the registered light .fit files in $OUTPUT_DIR/registered with Generate Drizzle Data checked. 
    *  This will update the .drz files in the $OUTPUT_DIR/registered/bayer directory.
*  DrizzleIntegration should use the files in $OUTPUT_DIR/registered/bayer which will make use of the BAYER format files in $OUTPUT_DIR/calibrated/light/bayer. 
    *  Here, we should use Scale factor = 1 and Drop Shrink = 1
    *  The generated integration file will NOT have gone through any debayering process, since there was enough data given to the drizzle processing to generate a complete RGB image.

Where $OUTPUT_DIR = the output directory defined in the BPP script

Thanks, Craig

Nevermind, I found http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=7184.0 that confirms this workflow.
