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 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.
Hello Mabula, when integrating with Bayer Drizzle is with me an error occurred. During the LNC calculation, the error message came and the process was aborted. Only after several tries the integration went through error-free.
Hi @minusman,
Can you share which Bayer Drizzle settings you used?
integration scale ?
drizzle droplets ?
drizzle kernel ?
Kind regards,
Mabula
Tophat kernel, dropletsize 1.0 and integration scale 1.0
Thanks @minusman,
The error that you encounter is in the LNC module, and I think it's very likely that it is triggered by incomplete drizzle due to the small Bayer Drizzle droplet sizes. Does the error also occur if you use droplets of size 2 or larger ?
(I will work soon on a new LNC algorithm and will then solve this issue.)
Mabula
Yes, Dropletsize 2.0 works.
Hi @minusman,
Thank you, I think I know the issue then, I will test this further 😉 Bayer Drizzle with small dropelts in combiantion with LNC.
Thanks,
Mabuka
Hello Mabula, I did a couple of tests left the droplet size at 1.0. But switched from LN Mad Winsor to Mad Winsor outlier rejection. Everything had worked wonderfully. Even after several attempts, there were no more errors.
Hi @minusman,
Thank you for sharing that extra information. So that indicates that the issue is a combination of Bayer Drizzle, LNC and then LN Mad Winsor clipping. That will help a lot in sorting this out 😉 for the next version..
Cheers,
Mabula
