What's New

Version 2014-12-30

Phase MOSAIC now ships as a single binary. If the hardware key is not present, LE functionality is provided, If a key is found, higher level functionality is available.
Installer has been improved.
Phase MOSAIC binary file loading speed has been improved.
4Sight, Opticode, and Zygo files can now import file headers from another file when writing.
4Sight files support compressed datasets.
Fixed a CodeV reading bug for SSZ < 1.
Images now support 16 and 32 bit per pixel formats.
Lists use color syntax highlighting and can find files in the list file directory
Before a file is about to be replaced, the file size and last access time are shown.
Calculation Options can be saved and restored from disk.

Version 3.1 - build 3430

This version fixes an issue where surface and image lists files could become corrupted using Windows XP.
Additional bug fixes are applied and enhancements to Phase analysis are added.
Eccentric paths have been introduced.
A tutorial describing stitching fundamentals has been added.

Phase MOSAIC 3.1

A zoomed region of interest can be specified for 3D views.

Phase MOSAIC 3.0

Lengthy operations can be cancelled using the cancel button on the status bar.
Adaptive tile-based phase unwrapping.
Structure function analysis showing difference histogram and mean absolute difference map for user-specified target spatial frequency.
Line profile analysis now displays the line and allows for its reselection.
Masked Zernike fitting now displays the mask and allows for its modification.
BMP and JPG images can be optionally resampled to square pixels before saving.
Images can be resampled and cropped.
Configure layouts for multiple plot analyses.
Erode statistically outlying surface height pixels.
Built-in "stretched" grayscale and color false color palettes
Fully customizable false color palettes that can be saved and restored from disk are available
1D data plots can be customized to show data points and/or lines
Average radial and angular profile surfaces can be generated
2D Surface and Image plots can be zoomed from the menu or with a hotkey
Zernike fit results can be copied to the clipboard in Excel format
Surface and Image components can be seperately copied and pasted using the clipboard.
Zernike fits are now done using only specified terms.
Cumulative frequency plot of the surface height distribution can now be calculated.
A box plot of the surface height distribution has been superimposed on the false color palette.
Surface lists can be animated with consistent plot properties and exported as AVI movie files.

Features added in Phase MOSAIC 2.0

3D Surface view using OpenGL_tm graphics allowing real-time mouse rotations and zoom.
Simulate interference fringes from surfaces at any wavelength
A full object-oriented vector mask editor - masks can be copied or pasted from the clipboard. All mask elements have editable properties in real world units.
Masked Zernike/Seidel fitting - remove aberrations ignoring data masked by the current mask
CodeV_tm INT file support - reading and writing.
Undo/Redo for surface operations.
Clipboard operations available for fiducials and fiducial groups.
Calculation preferences are now retained in the System Registry.
Cropping functions - crop to valid data or display limits
Resample surface data to square pixels or arbitrary aspect ratio
Speed buttons have been added to easily specify points by choosing fiducial positions for many operations.
A Units menu command and toolbar button have been added to easily change displayed surface units.
A Calculation Options menu command and toolbar button have been added to provide a singe place to view or change aspects of the currently active calculation.
Average profiles for surfaces display 1-sigma error envelopes
All data graphs are now dynamic. Limits can be zoomed, values can be copied to the clipboard in text and Excel_tm format, and graph display properties are customizable.
Surfaces can be generated from user-specified or fitted Zernike polynomial coefficients
User-specified Zernike polynomials can be added or subtracted.
Units can now be specified when matching fiducial groups.
Image display windows support dynamic zooming and are customizable.
Coordinate system axes can optionally be displayed in the 2D surface view.
End points for line profiles can be specified using fiducials, cartesian, or polar coordinates.
Pixel overlay statistics surfaces can be optionally generated from registering or averaging surface lists.
