Future
Developments
This section outlines various areas where we are working to
improve OMA's functionality. It is essentially a list of
things we are working on, as well as a list of things we
would like to get to and would be very happy to receive
assistance of other programmers.
- 3-Dimensional
Vector
field manipulation, and extending the processing
functionality to include Stereo-PIV.
- Adaptive
DPIV algorithm for resolution enchancement.
- Support for
more general Graphics File Formats, including
automatically converting RGB and CMYK images to 16 bit
greyscale.
- Support for
more cameras and hardware for Mac OS X (Requires drivers
for OS X to become available.)
- Porting the
program to other platforms (including improving the UNIX
versions and porting to Windows.)
- ...
Supported
Cameras and Hardware
Cameras and Hardware currently supported in the current
version for Mac OS X. Some cameras had been supported in the
Mac Classic OS version of OMA and are waiting for updated
drivers. Please conttact us if you have managed to implement
a new camera, since we would be delighted to share it with
other OMA Users.
