| 828 | | *vec_F(i)=4:only in civ2: the difference between the estimator and the result is more than 1 pixel. The two criteria, vec_F(i)=-2, and 3, should be selected (default options). The criterium vec_F=2 (Hart) should not be selected, while vec_F=4 (for civ2) could be selected only for excellent data (otherwise it may be too strict). -''' {Threshold on the image correlation} ''' (vec_C) can be introduced by the edit box [thresh_vecC] (value between 0 and 1).

Erratic zero velocity vectors, produced by a fixed image background, can be eliminated by this criterium. These criteria can be as well applied to the difference with a reference field, defined by a file series (edit box '''[ref_fix1]''') and a field inside the file (menu '''[field_ref1]'''). -''' {Mask fix:} ''' It has the same effect as the one used in civ1, but the removed vectors are kept in memory, labelled as false. -''' {Manual fix:} ''' Interactive fixing with the mouse is also possible, see [section 4.2->#4.2]. |
