It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
LNC Rejection is Local Normalization Correction Rejection, this is one of the outlier rejection filters at the top of 6) Integrate.
If you set the integrate setting to automatic (which is default) then this algorithm is almost always used for outlier rejection. If you set integrate to average, then you can set the outlier rejection filter yourself. Please check this screenshot that shows that I use average integration with adaptive rejection with Local Normalization rejection enabled.
Normally, the analyzing of LNC rejection parameters is very fast. Like less than 1 second per image in the stack. Is it much slower on your computer?
