BOSlib 0.0.5

the library of Background Oriented Schlieren

BOSlib

It's still in development so don't use this code!

BOSlib is a library developed to provide open access to various methods of the Background Oriented Schlieren (BOS) method. We are also developing software that runs on a GUI for those who do not have Python skills.

Key Features

• Short, concise code for visualization, 3D reconstruction, and quantification
• GPU parallel processing is also available

Warning

The BOSlib is still in its beta state. This means that it still might have some bugs and the API may change. However, testing and contributing is very welcome, especially if you can contribute with new algorithms and features.

Installing

Use PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/BOSlib:

pip install BOSlib 

Or compile from source

Download the package from the Github: https://github.com/ogayuuki0202/BOSlib/archive/refs/heads/main.zip or clone using git

git clone https://github.com/ogayuuki0202/BOSlib.git
cd BOSlib
python setup.py install 

Methods

Please see our Documentation.

Getting Started

Here's a quick example of using BOSlib for flow visualization:

1. 3D quantitative visualization and measurement using Abel transform
2. 3D quantitative visualization and measurement using ARTmethod(CT)
