INTI Partner...

INTI Partner is a set of applications grouped together in a single software package for processing spectroheliographic images.

Selector: facilitates selection of the best images from an observation session by pairwise comparison

Stack: correction of distortions in a series of images before summation to enhance image quality.

Animation: creation of an animation from a series of images

Mosa: creation of a composite image from several partial images of the Sun

Map: “spectro-localization” of a region of the solar spectrum in the solar spectrum

SER: display of the frames of a SER file with correspondence in the spectroheliographic image, display of the spectral profile

Treatments: additional image treatments

Grid: application of a Stonyhurst coordinate grid and tools for disk orientation

Installation

1. Download the zip file

For windows: http://valerie.desnoux.free.fr/inti/inti_partner.zip
For Mac: http://valerie.desnoux.free.fr/inti/inti_partner_mac.zip and read the pdf doc here

Once unzipped you'll have a directory with the exe and directory with lot of files. INTI_Partner has been wrtitten in Python and to deploy a Python program as an executable the installator includes multiple files to recreate the python required environment. 

3. Click on INTI_Parnter.exe to launch the application

By defaut the first launch will be in French. To turn into English, click on the bottom FR button, it will toggle into EN. Quit the application, and launch inti_partner again. The language will switch to English.

The exe file is in the unzipped directory. It may take a dozen af seconds before the user interface appears. Maybe less at second launch and can be up to several minutes for the first launch on Mac OS.
At launch, windows does not recognize the signature so may display a warning to protect your pc from virus and prevent the program to execute. Trust the program and force windows to execute it anyway.

INTI Partner references

For the Mosaic application, the algorithm has been inspired by the ENBLEND program used in Hugin, which is a reference for image mosaic.

ENBLED itself is based on the publication : A Multiresolution Spline With Application to Image Mosaics, PETER J. BURT and EDWARD H. ADELSON, 1983

The algorithm code from Greg Marcil github has been largely adapted to fit automatically multiple images.
