DeepMorphology for PixInsight
Welcome to DeepMorphology!
DeepMorphology is a sophisticated and versatile morphological transformation process. Its main function is to reshape the structures in an image by comparing each pixel against a small neighborhood defined by a structuring element. It is a modern successor to classic morphology tools like PixInsight’s own MorphologicalTransformation, keeping everything they did well and adding the parts that were missing, and then some more.
In addition to offering new operators and adjustments, and a easy to use built-in structuring element editor, in DeepMorphology everything is tuned in real-time through our own Dynamic Live Preview: a dedicated window that shows the transformed image and refreshes live as we move the controls, where we can zoom in/out, pan, and other features that simply do not exist in PixInsight’s old RT-Preview window. Morphological transformations can now be examined really up close, in real time. No more guessing. We can even edit the structuring element and see how that affects our image in real time, at up to x32 zoom! This is one of the several features that are currently impossible to achieve with PixInsight’s own MT process.
DeepMorphology’s Dynamic Live Preview
We can examine the transformation in real time, as we fine-tune it, pan, zoom in and out of the preview, etc.
Try it for free!
DeepMorphology is not free, but you can try it for 30 days, with no feature restrictions!
If you want to use DeepMorphology after the trial period, it's a one-time payment of 6.99 US$. No subscription fees: your copy is yours to keep and use forever. You would also receive free upgrades within the major version you purchased.
All we need to do to install our trial copy is add the DeepMorphology repository to our PixInsight installation:
https://repo.deepskycolors.com/DeepMorphology/
If you need instructions for adding the repository URL to PixInsight, click here
With the repository URL in place, we now do RESOURCES > Updates > Check for Updates. The DeepMorphology process will appear as a candidate for installation, automatically selected. We click Apply.
After that, PixInsight will inform us that the install will happen once we restart PixInsight. We do that, and DeepMorphology will be under PROCESS > DeepSkyColors and PROCESS > Morphology.
DeepMorphology is available for all platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS (x64 and arm64). PixInsight 1.9.4 or later is required for the macOS arm64 version.
Geodesic Reconstruction: One of several DeepMorphology’s features
not available in PixInsight’s MorphologicalTransformation
Top: a plain erosion pulls the glow down but leaves a dark patch around the star’s location.
Bottom: with Reconstruction on, the result is clamped to the original and the patch is gone.
