Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.

It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and itĀ  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.

Hi Mabula/all

Downloaded Beta 7 yesterday, all worked well apart from trying to mosaic two stacked panels.Ā  I enabled same camera/optics, tried with and without dynamic distortion correction, MBB set to 8 % but still getting this weird circular distortion (Black hole like šŸ˜‰ ) in the centre of each pane.Ā  its not on the individual stacked panes so it is something being done in the mosaic integration.Ā  Any ideas ???

I had some great success creating such vortexes, almost reminding me of calabi-yau like manifolds ...

I varied paramters in 4, register, pattern, triangles or pentagons maybe?, scale start and stop, calibrated projej, equitangular, alsoĀ  with changing reference frames. thenm it worked (with a bigger mosaik, also an option).

it was strange and I did not know why it worked in the end.Ā

Hi,

Ā 

Have you tried without enabling same camera/optics ?

Thank you David, yes I tried it this morning and it did indeed fix it 😊. Ā No idea why though as it was data taken with same optics and even same session, I’ve never disabled this before 🤷‍♂️

Great!Ā 

For mosaic registration, same camera/optics have to be unchecked. But for regular frame integration it's better to enable it.

@russ-telfer Yes, for mosaics the same camera/optics has to be switched off. This is a bit of a technical view of "camera" as basically a mosaic is having a different Field Of View etc then a regular image.
