Vignetting, discussion about methods of resolution Options

[Tman]

Hi Nirgal and all, I would like to discuss about vignetting and methods of resolution for it. I'm mainly interested in mathematical methods that could automatically calculate and adjust the right grey value for each pixel in a single picture.

My current method works with more or less transparent layers over the original picture that so roughly are able to balance the grey values. A perfect layer have to be the exact inverted brightness difference of each picture with this shadow effects. This method is very effective if you get the correct inverted values. These shots of the Mars sky come nearly at such a perfect mask, but not always. And of course the center of the pictures lose much of theirs original brightness/luminance sadly.

I have in mind a mathematical method that can adjust each grey value in a pic in order to obtain a completely balanced brightness over the entire picture. But I'm not in the position to reach that. I only know one have to start with the calculation of the grey values in the center of the picture. In the center are quasi the reference values of the whole picture, if I'm correct.
Is there a possibility (mathematical method) to get (roughly) the same brightness and luminance like in the center over the whole picture from the MERs?

Greetings, Peter

I tried antivig 2.0.2 -- worked great!

Here is my first antivig panorama:



tried the new version -- looks like some interesting features -- but the saves -- don't.

Anyway, I will use the tool for future pans -- including the McMurdo pan...

Thanks Michael -- wherever you are.

Hello hortonheardawho,

I'm just very busy at the moment with other things
Unfortunately, I can't tell you in what way VM interacts with Windows 2000. My admin at work installed it on my computer. That's as much as I know about it.

Thanks that you like the program, your pan looks nice I hope I will find some time to complete the new version during the next weeks. I had hoped I'd have more time for that now, but things changed and I can't tell you now when all the missing features of version 3 will get implemented. I hope I manage that this summer.

Michael
