Image Combining Strategy
The image combining strategy defines the set of
rules used to statistically combine intermediate calibrated images
as the final processing step of an image calibration command, such
as
Create Master Dark or
Create Pixel Flat. These settings apply after
calibration steps like bias and dark corrections have been applied.
For a description of the properties set in this dialog, see the
Statistical Estimators for Image Combining and
Region Statistics topics.
Image Combining Properties

Combining Method
|
This list box selects the type of processing used
to combine the image values. These are described in
Statistical Estimators for Image Combining.
If the combining method takes
Properties, these are presented in 1 or 2
fields to the right of the Method selection box. Some methods have
no Properties, so no fields are visible. For example, in the
picture above, the Mean - Alpha
Clipped method uses 2 Properties: the number of
highest--value pixels to clip ("High count") and the number of
lowest-value pixels to clip ("Low count").

properties.

Target Pixel Type
|
Select a Pixel Type for the output image that can
accommodate the increased signal and dynamic range of the combined
images. For example, if combining a large number of 16-bit integer
type images it is usually prudent to set the Pixel Type of the
output image to 32-bit real.
