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.
