Since I am new to the Amiga I am unfamiliar with the
graphics packages which are available. I want to digitize
two-dimensional pictures of comets into an AMIGA and manipulate
them. I can cross file with a SUN workstation which has IRAF,
but it would be good to be able to do some preliminary work on
the AMIGA. Are there some particularly good hardware and software
systems?
In the hardware I need as many levels of gray scale as
possible ( one hundred would be nice ), and high dimensional
stability. In the software I would need to be able to detect and
measure motions of plasma in the comet tails relative to
background stars, so cross-correlation or similar techniques
would be needed. Are there standard packages now available for
the Amiga???
Thanks in advance for any replies --which should be sent
email to:
