Hello everybody!
Latest HumFinder release can be downloaded from
http://forums.sideimagingsoft.com/index.php?topic=783.0I have developed HumFinder little bit further now and then and now it's time for version 2.0.
New features HumFinder v.2.0- Display user selectable SI images of target area
- Aspect ratio correction is used (vertical dimensions correlates with horizontal ones, with certain limitations)
- Independently zoomable SI images
- SI Images are pannable when zoomed
- Image windows are resizeable
- SI image color is user selectable
- Measuring tool for measuring dimensions, object height estimation
- Image copying, saving possibilities
- Search radius extended to 100 000 feet (30 000km). With 3000ft (1000m) and above only SI tracks are shown
- Abort button added to cancel search on time consuming operations
- Automatic comma separated position (Lat, Lon) tracking from clipboard. Can be used for example with HumViewer
- New position formats added
[+,-]ddd[°].dddddd[N,S,W,E]
[+,-]ddd[°] mm.mmmm['][N,S,W,E]
[+,-]ddd mm['] ss.ssss["][N,S,W,E]
- Search speed is optimized (1.5x - 10x as compared to HumFinder v. 1.0 depending on search)
- Real target “hit” point recording time is shown
Some bug fixes done:- Lat, Lon controls were multiline types causing erratic operation in if "enter" was pressed while editing values
- Tracks were limited to 25 different types causing error if exceeded, now max. is 125
And there is some known limitations:- tested only in very limited environment
Windows XP Professional SP2, SP3
Windows Vista Business
Humminbird 798ci SI, firmware 4.510, 4.780
Google Earth v. 5.1.3533.1731
LabView Runtime Engine 2009 (LVRTE90min.exe)
- cannot handle position formats starting with N,E,S,W
- target cursor max. number 50, 125 different tracks can be handled. ("Tracks only" mode has 1 different track)
- Google Earth position tracking won't work if HumFinder is maximized by user since "Show in Google Earth” operation
- Google Earth will occasionally give "installation" messages when opened by HumFinder - these can be cancelled by user
- if boat speed is very high, position information and SI data don't go apparently "hand in hand" causing shift in "hit" point
