This program is used to capture images off of a QC Grayscale camera. Documentation may be found at QCUIAG.
System Requirements:
486 or better Windows 9x 32 MB RAM 2 MB disk + image storage as needed BI-DIRECTIONAL PARALLEL PORT
Please be sure you set your BIOS up for bi-directional mode (by trying every combination, if required) before asking for assitance!
I use an aftermarket PCI parallel port at LPT2, which works wonderfully.
DarkGen
This program is used to process images captured with QCV2. Although there is nothing peculiar about the image format (BMP) there is most definitely something peculiar about what is in them. Noise. Lots of noise. DarkGen knows how to handle that noise. It has about everything one needs to get from original frames to a stacked image (even DDP). It does not have the "normal" image processing functionality, and so must be augmented by your favorite graphics program to do things like unsharp masking, gamma, brightness, and contrast.
System Requirements:
486 or better Windows 9x or NT 4.0 (Win32) Memory as required by OS 2 MB disk + whatever for images
