Tria Image
Processing Demo Program
Below
you will find a link to download
the Tria Demonstration program.
The
program is fully functional with the
exception of "Save" functions.
The demo program becomes fully
activated following purchase and
installation of the hardware
security key. This will allow
you to test drive the program on
example images and your own
images. (As an
anti-piracy measure, the grid
function has been locked on. This
does not affect the image data.)
Blind
deconvolution is "blind" because you
are missing crucial information
about what created the image.
Success depends on your knowledge of
the imaging system and a certain
amount of trial and error.
With you as the potential purchaser,
there are two scenarios we would
like to avoid:
- Your first attempt does not
yield satisfactory results, and
you are thus discouraged about the
process.
- You purchase Tria, and it turns
out that your images may contain
too much blur, or too much noise,
to be significantly improved.
To
avoid these situations, use the Tria
Demo to
- practice on the included
examples,
- take the time and read through
the help file, and
- apply the Tria's methods to your
specific images. Start with
small images to make the
processing easier.
You can
also use the images on this website
for practice. However, keep in
mind that these images may have been
reduced in size and compressed.
With apologies to
Linux users, Tria currently runs
on Windows (XP, Vista and "7", 32
and 64-bit versions) machines
only. The program is robust, and
includes examples and an extensive
help file. I recommend using a
machine with 1 GB of RAM for
operating on images smaller than
1024 by 1024 pixels, and 2 GB of
RAM for larger images. (Also
increase your paging memory to the
maximum level.) Image processing
in any form is computationally
intensive, so a fast processor
helps. Tria does operate on
Apple machines running special
software such as Parallels, but we
do not have an Apple version of
the software.
Note:
Tria will most likely still run on
Windows 2000, but we no longer
have a machine to test it
on.
Download
the latest version of Tria by
clicking:
Download
Tria
Demo Version 2.8.09 (standard)
After download, unzip the file and
run the
TriaSetup/Release/TriaSetup.msi
program.
This
package includes the executable,
and the help file. Also
download the Tria
ImagePack1, which contains
the example images and a starter
set of SeDDaRA reference
images. Unzip the ImagePack
in the Tria Application folder
after installation.
We have created a
new pack of images. Tria
ImagePack2 includes a set of
fractals that can be used as
reference images for
AstroPhotos. The images
come in a range of sizes from
512 to 4096 pixels a side.

Tria
ImagePack2
New:
We have created a new pack
of reference images, sized
4096 by 4096. Tria
ImagePack3 includes several
fractals that have proved
beneficial for SeDDaRA
deconvolution. Most of
the images are in 8-bit tiff
format and will need to be
converted to the Tria rtif
format for use in SeDDaRA.
We have also
created a 64-bit version of
Tria. Download this
version only if you are
using a 64-bit version of
Windows. The demo
program has been tested on
Vista and produced no
errors. However, we
have experienced problems
with the hardware security
key in the past. As
far as we can tell, these
problems have been resolved.

Demo Version 2.8.11 (64-bit)
Special
Note:
We noticed a web
posting that stated the user had
some difficulty running this
program. The demo has been
downloaded over 2000 times with
few reported problems.
However, this specific problem was not
reported to us, and we could not
determine the nature of the
problem. If the
suggestions below do not resolve
any difficulties you may
experience, let us
know. We abhor
inoperable software as much as
you do, and will work with you
to resolve it, even with the
demo program.
Known
Software Issues
- For
XP installation, an error can
occur concerning the driver "MSVBVM60.dll".
A user fixed this problem by
upgrading the XP operating
system to Service Pack 2.
- Some
Tria functions only operate on
certain types of images.
SeDDaRA reference images can
only be created from grayscale
images.
- Tria
uses the Microsoft software
for opening up jpeg
images. Even though some
jpegs are in 8-bit format,
they are often opened as
24-bit color images.
After opening Tria does a
check to see if the 24-bit
image is actually grayscale
and may convert it.
- Tria
may have some difficulties
processing larger images
(greater than 2048 pixels per
side). This is typically
a memory problem. You
may want to add more RAM to
your computer, or reduce the
image size. We have
verified that Tria can process
a grayscale 4096X4096 image on
a PC with 2 GBytes of
RAM. However, memory is
allocated by the operating
system and is often stingy.
- Area
of Influence produces an error
when the AoI size is larger
than the image. The
error is valid, but the user
should be warned.
- The
demo version permits creating
reference images that can be
used with SeDDaRA, but not
saving them.
- Tria
32-bit does run on 64-bit
machines but the 64-bit
version will not operate on a
32-bit operating system.
- Before
version 2.4, Tria used
elements from Microsoft
Frameworks 1.1.
For some reason, version 1.1
is not included in later
versions, and must be loaded
independently. You can
download it from this
page.
- With
version 2.4, Tria uses only
Microsoft Frameworks
3.5. Some computers may
have to be updated to this
version.
Thank
you for your interest in Tria
Image Processing.
