Tria Image
Processing Demo Program
Below
you will find a
link to download the Tria
Demonstration program.
The
program is fully functional with the
exception of "Save"
functions. The demo program
becomes fully activated following
purchase and installation of the
hardware security key. This
will
allow you to test drive the program
on
example
images and your own images. (As
an
anti-piracy
measure, the grid function has been
locked on.
This does not affect the image
data.)
Blind
deconvolution
is "blind" because you are missing
crucial information about what
created the image.
Success depends on your knowledge of
the imaging system and a certain
amount of
trial and error. With you as
the potential purchaser, there are
two
scenarios we would like to avoid:
- Your first attempt does not
yield
satisfactory results, and you are
thus discouraged about the
process.
- You purchase Tria, and it turns
out that
your images may contain too much
blur, or too much noise, to be
significantly improved.
To
avoid these
situations, use the Tria Demo to
- practice on the included
examples,
- take the time and read through
the help
file, and
- apply the Blind Deconvolution
methods to
your specific images. Start
with small images to make the
processing easier.
You can
also use the
images on this website for
practice. However, keep in
mind that
these images may have been reduced
in size and compression.
With
apologies to Linux users, Tria
currently runs on
Windows
(XP, Vista and "7", 32 and 64-bit
versions) machines only.
The
program is robust, and includes
examples and an extensive help
file. I
recommend using a machine with 1
GB of RAM for operating on images
smaller than 1024 by 1024 pixels,
and 2 GB of RAM for larger images.
(Also increase your paging memory
to the maximum level.) Image
processing in any form is
computationally
intensive, so a fast processing
helps. Tria does operate on
Apple
machines running special
software such as Parallels.
Note:
Tria will most likely still run on
Windows 2000, but we no longer
have a machine to test it
on.
Download
the latest version of Tria by
clicking:
Download
Tria
Demo Version 2.8.07 (standard)
After download,
unzip the file and run the
TriaSetup/Release/TriaSetup.msi
program.
This
package includes the executable,
and the
help file. Also download the
Tria ImagePack1, which
contains
the example images and a starter
set of SeDDaRA reference
images.
Unzip the ImagePack in the Tria
Application folder after
installation.
New:
We have created a
new pack of
images. Tria ImagePack2
includes a set of fractals that
can be
used as reference images for
AstroPhotos. The images
come in a
range of sizes from 512 to 4096
pixels a side.

ImagePack2
New:
We have also
created a 64-bit
version of Tria.
Download this version only
if you are using a
64-bit version of
Windows. The demo
program has been tested on
Vista
and produced no
errors. However, we
have experienced problems
with the hardware security
key in the past. As
far as we can
tell, these problems have
been resolved.

Tria
Demo Version 2.8.07 (64-bit)
Special
Note:
We
noticed a web posting that
stated the user had some
difficulty running this
program. The demo has been
downloaded
over 1000 times with few
reported problems.
However, this specific problem was not
reported to us,
and we could not determine the
nature of the problem. If
the
suggestions
below do not resolve any
difficulties you may experience,
let us
know. We abhor
inoperable
software as much as you do, and
will work with you to resolve
it, even
with the demo program.
Known
Software
Issues
- For
XP installation,
an error can occur concerning
the driver "MSVBVM60.dll".
A user fixed
this problem by upgrading the
XP operating system to Service
Pack 2.
- Some
Tria functions
only operate on certain types
of images. SeDDaRA
reference images
can only be created from
grayscale images.
- Tria
uses the
Microsoft software for opening
up jpeg images. Even
though some
jpegs are in 8-bit format,
they are opened as 24-bit
color images.
- Tria
may have some
difficulties processing larger
images (greater than 2048
pixels per
side). This is a memory
problem. You may want to
add more
RAM to your computer, or
reduce the image size.
We have verified
that Tria can process a
grayscale 4096X4096 image on a
PC with 2 GBytes
of RAM.
- Area
of Influence
produces an error when the AoI
size is larger than the
image. The
error is valid, but the user
should be warned.
- The
demo version
permits creating reference
images that can be used with
SeDDaRA, but not saving them.
- Tria
32-bit does run on
64-bit machines.
- Before
version 2.4,
Tria used elements
from Microsoft
Frameworks 1.1.
For some reason, version 1.1
is
not included in later
versions, and must be loaded
independently.
You can download it from this
page.
- With
version 2.4,
Tria uses only Microsoft
Frameworks 3.5. Some
computers may have
to be
updated to this version.
Thank
you
for
your interest in Tria Image
Processing.
