• Fixed #100 - registration tracking wasn't reset after pause

New features

• Added inter frame delay support for DSLR

Android:

• upgrade to SDK 34
• Reduced APK/download size (strip...)

OpenLiveStacker beta30

New Features

• Added support of automatic hot pixels removal as alternative/addition to dark frames, supported on mono and raw streams
• Improved auto-stretch, lower boundary is now tighter and more accurate, fixed issue of incorrect boundary in some cases

Bug fixes:

• Fixed missing filtering of large registration steps bug introduced in beta29

Android specific:

• Moving to target SDK to 34 - for complacency with Google Play Store requirements

Linux specific:

• Added support of FITS for watch directory driver
• Added support of keeping files in watch directory driver

OpenLiveStacker beta29 - planetary stacking

New Experimental Features

• Added implementation of planetary stacking - with post-processing based on Richardson-Lucy deconvolution and sharpening
• Added support of image quality filters: sharpness, brightness, registration quality

New features

• The post processing and stacking are separated into two different threads allowing to stack at much higher frame-rates
• Post processing now can skip frames if more than one are already for post processing to improve latency and performance
• Added logging to UVC driver

Bug fixes

• Support of UVC devices that do not report default or resolution values is added.

OpenLiveStacker - beta28

Fixing cases when UVC camera does not provide default value - substitute with current
Improved error handling

OpenLiveStacker beta27

New features

• Added support of linear gradient removal caused by light pollution.

Bug fixes:

• Changed the depth of computing queue from 20 to 10 frames to prevent memory overloading under high loads.
• ToupTek driver fixes
  • Fixed ROI calculations when binning in use
  • Removed frame rate limits for future solar/planetary imaging
  • Removed RGB image from mono cameras
• Now frame-rate limits are are not shown if they aren't known
• Fixed "json" error - in case of no camera detected - now proper error is given

OpenLiveStacker - beta26

New features:

• Added support of removing calibration frames
• Added support of mono8 to UVC
• Show thumbnail automatically when working with delay so you don't need to open one

Bug fixes:

• Fixed incorrect synthetic frames stacking when pause arrives

OpenLiveStacker - beta25

Changelog:

• Fixed bug #78 Starting stacking stream for DSLR/gphoto can get stuck sometimes
• Fixed but #77 Default Image format for Android camera likely too large for phone to process
• Added support of synthetic exposure - adding adjecent frames as they are single exposure - it is useful for cases max exposure is too short and there is not enough signal to even perform registration, for example smartphone cameras or UVC cameras like sv105
• Updated touptek SDK to version 20231210

OpenLiveStacker beta24 - Android support

Changelog:

• Android camera is now supported (named Internal):
  • Minimal Android version is Android 7
  • Features: controls of exposure, iso , wb, zoom, focus.
  • Support of jpeg, raw and mono output formats (from YUV), simulated mono16 - binning of mino8 without loosing accuracy
• Gphoto2/DSLR updates
  • Added support of target capture - save on SD card on in memory.
  • Added option not to remove files - to save sequence for post processing offline on SD Card
  • Fixed sequence of image reading - not waiting for capture trigger but rather to file saved. It workaround some capture failures however adds restriction that only one image type can be saved per trigger - either Raw or Jpeg - but not both. Similar behavior to Indi
  • Improved memory useage performance for binning of raw images
• Fixed bug that caused live stream instread of stacked stream to be displayed upon return to live view
• Fixed support of RGB touptek cameras
• Updated ToupTek SDK to version 20231121

OpenLiveStacker - beta23 - DSLR support

New Features:

• Added experimental support of DSLR using libgphoto2, supported raw and jpeg. raw formats allows application of software binning and roi.
• Added option to close video stream
• Added enable debug logging option for camera driver. Supported by touptek and gphoto drivers only

Bug fixes:

• Removed flush option for touptek
• Bug fixes in touptek camera parameters/names
• Fixed issue in v22 (not-released) that prevented using ASI and UVC cameras.

OpenLiveStacker - beta22 - DONT USE BROKEN for ASI/UVC USE beta21

New Features:

• Added experimental support of DSLR using libgphoto2
• Added option to close video stream
• Added enable debug logging option for camera driver. Supported by touptek and gphoto drivers only

Bug fixes:

• Removed flush option for touptek
• Bug fixes in touptek camera parameters/names
