Yes, that's the crucial point I'm afraid. Just having Hugin submit data is not much use before it is not decided what shall be done with that information. However, the more I think about it, the more a CDDB- like online database could actually work. There will be a *quite* few wrinkles to be ironed out, but we'll see. At the moment I am thinking of writing a small GUI that hopefully can act as a testbed in the not- to-far future. Since I am doing this in my sparetime, it will however take some time until it does something "really useful". Until then, I'll have to think about the generic lens model. I am not convinced that generic spline parameters are the way to go, and it is not guaranteed that one can actually just 'average' them and hope to achieve something meaningful. The beauty of the original model by Tom is that it just uses two parameters (u,v) to describe more or less all fisheye cases and the rectilinear one in a generic and exact way, thus providing something conceptually close to a lens model 'Hilbert space' (but unfortunately non-linear). >From a physical point of view, fitting those two model parameters and on top of it a (hopefully small) PTLens correction sounds much more sound to me. If the model fit is good enough, a PTLens polynomial should be quite 'well-behaved', making fitting stable. However, both model and PTLens correction are by definiton non-linear (making simple averaging of data impossible). Let me think about it, maybe I'll have an inspiration.
