Hugin should do this calculation, however this is just a convenience for photographers who are more familiar with concepts like focal length - The only number that is actually used in the stitching process is the horizontal field of view (v) parameter. You can set the crop factor to anything you like so long as the 'v' parameter is correct. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFSXGgIFqOhwCjyCLoRAqEIAKDSDBrSh9Dd50w1fIcQmgXNkTcQ4gCgyqiy 55PGHUlIeNokd0Ansdx382U= =z2Gn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Hugin Developers, which is subscribed to Hugin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1239609 Title: Allow easy entry of focal length and hfov Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: New Bug description: When the user knows the focal lengh and horizontal field of view (v), Hugin should either compute the crop factor or, if it is not otherwise needed, simply ignore it. Consider cylindrical panorama camera images, which have an arbitrary hfov unrelated to the lens and focal length, and for which 'crop factor' is usually not a meaningful piece of information. At present, attempting to import such images is frustrating because when you enter the hfov hugin resets the focal length (based on irrelevant default crop factor of 1.0) and vice versa. Instead, the crop factor should be computed automatically (if it is needed at all).
