Changeset 26076 for trunk/psModules/src/imcombine/pmStack.c

Timestamp:

Nov 9, 2009, 2:53:12 PM (17 years ago)

Message:

Merging branches/pap (unconvolved stacks, reworked combinePixels function into clearer roles, only throw out most variant pixel on each iteration, throw suspect pixels out as first rejection step) stack development. I think I've got everything, but not entirely sure, since I've already merged this branch once before (for dual convolution).
