Visrock: a program for digital topography and X-ray microdiffraction imaging

Visrock is a program for interactive analysis of sequences of digital X-ray images. Visrock was developed in the context of the rocking-curve imaging method of full-field X-ray microdiffraction imaging. Its functionality is based on parallel profile analysis of millions of local diffraction profiles. Options for subsequent visualization of the spatial distribution of extracted parameters include automatic contrast enhancement, noise reduction and multi-peak analysis. In addition to microdiffraction imaging, further useful applications of the program lie particularly in computed tomography, sequential radiography and analyser-based imaging.
