SM Refract Savitzky-Golay Smoothing

Added Savitzky-Golay smoothing as a filter option in the latest version.

A description of the algorithm can be seen here:

It essentially acts as a type of High Cut filter. Below, an unfiltered shot display

And here the same with an SG Filter applied:

As you can see below, it is not spectrally smooth, but can be quite useful in cleaning up noisy displays.

                     5 Point                                          9 Point

           19 Point                                       25 Point

 

As the program has not garnered much interest, I am suspending development of it for now.

There doesn’t seem to be much point in developing QC tools for an industry that doesn’t want them, or me.

I need to find some way of making some money, and this isn’t it!
