Graphical User Interface

Rather than leap to the experiments while a suitable wrapper is not yet available, in the month of March we started building an interactive GUI that can complement control files (potentially daunting to a command-line-apathetic crowd). So, once we made a GUI for the program (see figures and ) we resumed work on experiment design, which a later section will elaborate on.

When we had completed and polished the GUI, then added the expressions loader to it and added a visual mechanism by which to view 2 pairs of images while they are being processed (a progress bar was removed as it would provide no indicators of much value; see screenshot) it was a lot more user-friendly and yielded visual output in a more organised or cohesive fashion (including 3-D images). Figure helps show how 2-D image representations are supported, even though it is out of date and abundantly spurious to those who are just interested in algorithms.
