Focus Stacking

A focus stacking application written in Python that provides image alignment (OpenCV) and several stacking algorithms. Everything being nicely contained inside a GUI (Graphical User Interface) written using (Py)Qt5, that is easy to use.

Adapted algorithms from:

Image alignment and laplacian algorithm adapted from: momonola/focus-stack and https://osf.io/j8kby/. These implementations worked fine for small images, but every image had to be loaded into RAM-memory causing the program to crash when using large images. Solution was to use numpy memmaps.
Laplacian Pyramid algorithm adapted from: sjawhar/focus-stacking
