There are two ways of looking at this: Mosaics. Photos taken at different locations and angles of the same planar surface (such as a mural, row of houses, or a floor), stitching them into either a single image or incorporating them into a panorama. This is the approach PTGui takes with it's 'viewpoint correction' functionality. Photogrammetry. Photos taken from arbitrary locations and angles of a 3d scene. This involves placing control points in 3d space rather than on a surface (as it happens at the moment in hugin). This is the approach the old PTStereo tool took, the only way to directly stitch panoramas is to calculate where the 3d points would need to appear in the 2d panorama and 'morph' the images to fit. This second approach is less well-defined, do you want to create 3D geometry surveys? (I'd really like to do this in hugin) matchmoving? panoramas? Where do you stop? This is potentially an enormous project. -- Bruno --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
