6.5            APEX Modules

The following pages contain full descriptions of the modules that are available in APEX Multiframe, APEX Single Frame and APEX User List (both Multiframe and Single Frame). In some cases, the order of execution of the modules, and the available parameters in each module will vary according to the flavor of the pipeline. The parameters that change between pipelines are clearly marked with e.g. “APEX Multiframe only”. For information on how to turn the modules on and off in the image processing, please see §2.2. For suggestions on which modules to use, see §2.5: Which Modules Should I Choose?

 

For information on the modules available in APEX QA, see §6.6 APEX QA Modules.
