SAFRAN Schlieren for Aircraft in Flight Software

The Synthetic Limb Edge Schlieren technique is supported by our proprietary SAFRAN (Schlieren for Aircraft in Flight Reduction and Analysis) Package. This easy-to-use software is designed to take a set of solar (or lunar) transit images and extract the schlieren information from the edge distortions. Why spend time and money developing this complex numerical and image processing code yourself when you can just license the software from the people who invented it?

Finally, the velocity adjustment dialog allows selection of the feature of interest according to its speed and angle. Image enhancement options specially designed for schlieren contrast enhancement make it possible to maximize the visibility all sorts of relevant contrast features. Need customizations?
