Hi Alstan,

I'm not sure if your below description is correct.
In my experience it's exactly the opposite. The Sigma f=8mm F/3.5 lens is an 
equi-solid angle (-vth) and the Sigma f=4.5mm F/2.8 is an equi-distant 
(-angular) (-vta) lens.
Can you please double-check that issue for me?

Cheers
Tobias

Hi Zhe,

As far as I am aware, the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 is an equi-angular (-vta) lens, and 
the Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 is an equi-solid angle (-???) lens. I am having trouble 
finding a source from Sigma right now, but Cauwerts, Bodart and Deneyer's 
paper<http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1582/LEUKOS.2012.08.03.002> says so.
That said, if you do end up with an equi-solidangle image, I have a python 
script that converts equi-solid angle to equi-angle for each source jpeg while 
maintaining the EXIF data. I used this to convert equi-solidangle images from 
my Canon 8-15mm fisheye lenses.

Best,
Alstan

Hi Zhe,



You should be able to apply the fisheye_corr.cal file I gave you earlier to 
correct the distortion and make it an angular fisheye image that pinterp works 
with.  (Why you need pinterp, I am not sure.)  The command is as suggested in 
the fisheye_corr.cal file itself:



 pcomb -f fisheye_corr.cal -o fisheye.hdr \

        | getinfo -a "VIEW= -vta -vh 180 -vv 180" \

        > corrected.hdr



This will also crop the area outside of 180° to black, assuming that is what 
you want.  It assumes that you have already cropped the image to a minimum 
square area.  You should apply vignetting correction and absolute calibration 
first.



Cheers,

-Greg

Dear list:

I am trying to compare HDR images and simulated luminance maps. Since I use 
SIGMA 8mm 1:3.5 for Canon, I need to convert equisolid-angular to equiangular 
project. I see very useful information from the post below:



https://www.radiance-online.org:447/pipermail/radiance-general/2015-August/011184.html



However, I still have some questions need to figure out.

1) pinterp does not include equisolid-angular projection, so a equation needs 
to be applied to the function. Greg mentioned this simple expression, 
sin(theta)/theta, but I am still confused. Could anyone offer me the command?



2) The post discussed the steps of processing HDR images. If I get it right, 
the steps following "adjust exposure" are vignetting correction, adding view 
information, converting project from equisolidangular to equiangular, then 
calibrating the image. I use a GOSSEN Starlite 2 to record the luminance value 
on a grey card for calibration. My question is, should I calibrate the image 
before or after converting fisheye projection?



Any suggestions or explanation would be appreciated.

Zhe
