Vulcamera

Vulcamera is a stand-alone user-friendly code for measuring volcanic SO2 fluxes using UV cameras. The code consists of two elements: Vulcamera and Vulcamera_post, which manage image acquisition, and all elements of post-processing, respectively. Vulcamera will work with Apogee Instruments U260 and E6 units, however we recommend the former given the higher signal to noise ratio, and faster data transfer. The program is designed to operate with two cameras, simultaneously, with bandpass filters centred on 310 and 330 nm, respectively. It is imperative to use two filters in such observations to compensate for aerosol attenuation/backscattering and this approach minimises temporal mismatches associated with filter changes on a single camera [Kantzas et al. 2010].

KERNEL32.DLL PROBLEM: Vulcamera may show an error message on the kernel32.dll. In this case, the user must rename the kernel32.dll file contained in the Vulcamera folder as kernel32_bk.dll and restart Vulcamera.

Here you can find an example of Vulcamera acquisition and calibration with Apogee Alta U260 (512 x 512)
