2004-09-03 -+- François Battail -+- fb {at} francois.battail.name -+- Thanks a lot for this nice tutorial, I hope Hugin will be available in Debian SID soon (whatever is it builds fine). With The Gimp, dcraw (plugin for Gimp to import digital cams file using the raw format) we have now workable imaging tools for Linux. <br> <br>Keep the good work done. -+- 62.212.113.214 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3
2004-09-03 -+-   -+-   -+- binding images should be done with control points in about same "depth". not just avoiding close points but also too distant. there is case of placement where it will also hurt final panorama as bad as close point. -+- 81.27.200.144 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3
2004-09-06 -+- Mike -+-   -+- Especially with panoramas that include the horizon, you should put horizontal line control points in to keep it straight. In your example, the horizon is slightly curved, but in very wide and short panos, the horizon can wander significantly. <br> <br>It's similar to the technique described here: <br> <br>  http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/architectural/en.shtml  <br> <br>Except you use horizontal instead of vertical control points. Pick two points in different spots along the horizon (they can even be from different spots in the same source image) and select horizontal line as the type. I like to use vertical control points as well when the panorama includes objects I know are plumb (like buildings), unless I'm going for a barrel distortion look.  <br> <br>I'm glad you mentioned enblend -- it should be very helpful for those just getting started to know to use it. It took me a while to find out about it, but it's absolutely essential! -+- 12.221.72.139 = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040528 Galeon/1.3.15 (Debian package 1.3.15-2)

2005-03-22 -+- Martin Wehner -+- martin_wehner@freenet.de -+- Before switching to the third tab "Control Points" you should <br>use Autopano to create control points automatically. Do this <br>by pressing the button "Create Ctrl Points" on the first tab <br>"Images". This saves a lot of time in setting control points! <br>You can get Autopano from http://autopano.kolor.com/ . <br> <br>Since hugin 0.5 there is an option "Optimize positions <br>(incremental, starting from anchor)" in the fourth tab <br>"Optimizer". Use this default setting to calculate the <br>y-positions of the images and to line them up automatically. <br>Afterwards you can check the result with the menu entry <br>"View:Preview Window". Only if the images are lined up <br>properly you should use "Optimize everything" for <br>fine-tuning. <br> <br>But if the panorama shown in the preview window is very <br>curved, then reset all values and choose another position <br>anchor. Or reset all values and then try another pitch <br>and/or roll value for the anchor image. <br> <br>Sometimes it's better to set the horizontal and vertical <br>angles manually with the sliders in the preview window <br>instead of calculating them by pressing the button <br>"Calculate Field of View" in the fifth tab "Stitcher". <br>This often reduces the black parts in the image and results <br>in smaller files. <br> <br>You get also proper results if you use "Cylindrical" for <br>full 360 degree panoramas. <br> <br>Set feather width to 0 if you use enblend! Take care that <br>you order the image names in the command line in a right <br>way! And yes, I agree that enblend really needs a lot of <br>memory and time, so do not start enblend if you are in a <br>hurry! <br> <br>Autopano, enblend, hugin and Panorama Tools do really a <br>good job! Take a look at <br> <br>http://people.freenet.de/martin_wehner/bilder.html#panorama <br> <br>for viewing some panorama images created with these tools. <br>(For those who do not speak German: Click on the panorama <br>thumbnails.) <br> <br>Here are the download locations for the tools: <br>http://autopano.kolor.com/ (Autopano) <br>http://enblend.sourceforge.net/ (enblend) <br>http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ (hugin) <br>http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/pano12ml.htm (Panorama Tools) <br> <br>For viewing 360 degree panoramas I can recommend the <br>FSPViewer: http://www.fsoft.it/panorama/FSPViewer.htm . <br> -+- 145.254.96.115 = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

2005-12-19 -+- Denilson -+-   -+- About "cropping" the image with Gimp, it will be a lot easier to use the "crop" tool, instead of "select" tool. It is the 12th tool at my gimp toolbox. It is just after "move" tool. The shortcut is Shift+C. <br> <br>Try it, and you will see this is the best tool for cropping images. -+- 201.19.162.26 = Opera/8.51 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)
