Focus on Science, not software.
- Mira Pro was designed for astronomers by astronomers to
implement critical image processing and data analysis procedures using
science-appropriate algorithms. And Mira's superior visualization and
processing tools allow you to see
more and detect fainter objects than with other software.
- Mira’s GUI is highly integrated, easy to learn, and effective.
It simplifies your work, increases your productivity, and lets you focus on
science, not the mechanics of using software. Mira integrates visualization,
processing, and measurement in a unique way that quickly becomes second nature.
The time you save leaves more time for analyzing, publishing, and
understanding your results.
- Mira Pro is designed for the kind of work you do:
calibrating, processing, visualizing, and measuring science images as well as numerical
models and simulations. Its extensive tool collection works with 2-D images or
arrays of any size, integer or real, and with bit depths from 8 to 64 bits per
pixel.
- Mira’s tightly optimized image display and processing code
gives astounding speed working with today’s large images, or with hundreds of
images at one time. For example, using today's affordable
P4 and Athlon-class machines, Mira can smoothly zoom, pan, and adjust a
grayscale or pseudo-color palette while animating a dozen 2k x 2k, 32 bit
real images at 20 frames per second.
- Achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio with maximum
sharpness using Mira’s superior, yet easy to use image combining and
registration. Mira not only provides a greater
number of useful options, but also more effectively and efficiently integrates these tasks
into your work flow.
- Characterize and compute image properties,
statistics, FWHM, and more; Measure subpixel centroid coordinates, distance,
and angles—including world coordinate when using FITS WCS.
- Versatile, highly accurate aperture photometry package
measures multiple
point sources on single images, image sets, and time series containing
100’s of images. Mira' s exact elliptical/circular aperture algorithm is not
available elsewhere. Especially using small apertures, it assures the greatest
accuracy and smallest photometric errors.
- Create & print publication quality images, plots, text
results, and measurement reports.
-
To go further, Mira Pro can be extended with several
optional modules, including a powerful scripting language, Maximum Entropy
Deconvolution, and enhanced graphics tools.
