Lumenera Scientific Infinity Camera

Release 3.3 User’s Manual

alpha blending bitmap will cause the overlay to blend with the image data making

it less obtrusive. It can also be used to make a solid bitmap, like a logo for

example, into a watermark that can be used to tag images without hiding the

image underneath it.

The alpha bitmap has the same restrictions as the overlay bitmap, and must be

the same size as the overlay bitmap. The way it works is as follows: The value

of each pixel in the alpha bitmap indicates the level of transparency of the pixel at

the same location in the overlay bitmap. Pixels that have a value of 255 are

treated as completely transparent so that only the pixel from the original image is

used. Pixels that have a value of zero are treated as completely opaque so that

only the pixel from the overlay bitmap is used. The transparencies of the pixels

in-between vary linearly with their value. The blending is done independently for

each of the three color-channels (R, G & B), which allows for some interesting

effects, such as changing the color of the overlay, not just blending it with the

image.

The reticles bitmaps included with the application can be used as their own alpha

blending bitmaps. If you use any one of the gray reticles, they will simply blend

the colored reticles into the image to varying degrees. The dark gray will blend a

little bit, the gray will blend half and half and the light gray will blend a lot. For

interesting effects, try experimenting with using the color reticles as alpha

bitmaps.

Currently, overlays are not supported for monochrome cameras.

3.6.12 Load Settings / Save Settings / Save Settings As

At any time, you can save the current settings of the camera and application to a

file for later retrieval and use. When the application exits, it saves the current

settings to a file that is automatically loaded the next time it is run. With your own

settings files, you can quickly jump between different resolutions, exposures etc.

Save Settings, will save the settings to the currently loaded file (if it exists). Save

Settings As, allows you to use a different file.
