Required - ALE (Anti Lameness Engine) binaries for windows

have read about and visited the home page for the ALE stacking software. but as much as i tried to, i could not get the binaries on the net. i do not have the setup nor the expertise to compile the source myself.

can someone be kind enough to post the binaries for windows if they have.
thank you

You could try asking the author dhilvert AT gmail DOT com.

As a matter of interest, why do you wish to use this programme ?

It is command-line driven and user unfriendly.

There is far better software available, including freeware.

thanks microfunguy

it is for the exact reason that i require it - i would like to do a noise reduction automatically with a SX 130 connected on a PTP. download a few shots and convert with a command line. hope it works like i am imagining.

i will definitely try emailing  dhilvert, thanks for the suggestion

Hello Vi
tried using it with few jpg's but it gave me the  message


*** 'VJIMG0006.JPG' doesn't look like a PPM file.

*** (To handle other file types, use a version of ALE with
*** ImageMagick support enabled.)

can i resolve it or does it require a recompile with the above switch enabled. ill try to convert my jpg's to  PPM for testing purpose with IM or GM but id like to work with jpgs later on :)

regards

Yes, this is why I posted --version output ("File handler:     PPM") for users to see that it's the most basic version of ALE.

So do I. I usually convert my files to PPM prior to [trying] processing them with ALE.

Does this version work well with PPM files?

I've built and published it just because of I had both ALE source code and a cross-compiler at hand...
Building ALE + ImageMagick is trickier than building stand-alone ale. As I see this happens to be useful for others as well, I can try making an improved build. Which of the following is more needed:

1. ImageMagick file handler;
2. FFTw DFT instead of built-in (probably faster);
3. Fixing "Threads:          Disabled";
4. x86_64 version?

thank you vi for your reply.
im going to take a few shots (5-10) on a fixed tripod and convert it to ppm and then give it a try.
i have high hope of creating a cleaner and hopefully a higher resolution image.

will get back with results as soon as i have done this

just on a side note - i have already tried doing a focus stacking automation with tufuse and had mixed result. mixed not because tufused misperformed but because i have not been able to tweak my focus bracketing routine - i use ptp to control camera from pc. of course ale and tufuse are two different things although their functionality may overlap. i use tufuse to do focus bracketing, while i want to use ale for superresolution. do you have any experience or received good results with it

sorry i forgot about the last part

1. ImagMagik - i think this would be best. because i dont like to convert between image formats
2. FFT DFT - faster would be better but not absolutely necessary. may be later if it becomes worth the effort :)
3. Threads : disabled - again performance improvement would be a low priority.
4. x86_64 - may be an advantage but i never use it - i have to deploy to several systetms few have win 32 few are  64. i always use a lowest common denominator.

so all in all i think ImageMagik would definitely be nice - converting between formats always gives me the shivers - especially if jpg (lossy compression) is involved
