Hi there,
I run an algorithm which tries to detect particles on image sequences.
The most time consuming operation (more than half of the processing
time) is to find the centre of all detected particles. I calculate the
centre of each particle separatedly by supplying an image where only the
i-th particle is present to "schwerpunkt2". Is there a faster way to do
this? I put the outline of the calling routine and "schwerpunkt2" below
for reference.
Best regards,
Ingo
