Tria Image
Processing Demonstration
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
(2000, XP, and Vista, 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 has not
been tested on Windows 7. "7"users are welcome to download and
install Tria. However, we are not yet set up to support Windows 7
if you encounter difficulties.
Download
the latest version of Tria by clicking:
Download
Tria Demo Version 2.6.01 (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.
Download
Tria 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. Until this issue can be resolved
by our security company, we are using software license.
Instructions are embedded in the program.
Download
Tria Demo Version 2.6.0 (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, but not saving them.
- Tria does run on
64-bit machines. However, Vista 64-bit requries a different
security key for the full application. Currently this key is not
functioning. The 64-bit version includes a software license
instead.
- 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.
