Hi Eric,
With regard to patfree-panomatic: This one obviously crashes on G4.
I had one report from another G4 user and I asked the community for
more response whether it crashed for them as well. You are now the
second user with a crash report. This confirms that it has to be
fixed. I already checked it but haven't found it yet.
Thanks. Do you need/want the crash report?
For the other two patented CP detectors panomatic and autopano-sift-
C: They are not delivered with the bundle, due to the license
restrictions on the used algorithms.
You need to download and install them. Read the readme inside the
dmg you downloaded, or read the page on <http://panorama.dyndns.org/index.php?lang=EN&subject=Hugin&texttag=Hugin
>. They both describe simply what to do.
I understand they need to be downloaded separately and installed. I
have done that.
As I described, the "finding control points" window *does* appear and
progress information is displayed in it. From reading the text in
that window, it appears that both Panomatic and Autopano-SIFT-C
complete successfully. BUT, I'm unable to continue past that point,
as clicking either the "Cancel" button or the close button (left hand
dot in the window title bar) results in the message "Hugin Error -
Failed to kill process XXXXX, error 3: no such process."
Nothing that looks "suspicious" (to me) appears in the system log.
Any ideas about how I can track down the cause of this?
Thanks,

So, I'm trying to get control points automatically generated.
I've used both the "Align..." button in the Assistant tab and the
"Create control points" button in the Images tab, but the result is
the same: all three (patfree-panomatic, panomatic and Autopano-SIFT-
C) fail. I'm running Hugin version "Hugin 2010.1.0-vsn5102(Mac)."
The Machine is a rather old G4 Power Macintosh, with a dual
processor upgrade, but it's still a PPC computer. The OS version is
OS X 10.5.8.
Trying to start simply, I'm using 9 full-frame fisheye input
images. 1200 x 1793 px. 16-bit TIFFs, saved in portrait
orientation. I used the "Mask" feature on the two nadir images.
I first try "patfree-panomatic"..
This one explicitly crashes. (I'll be happy to post or send the full
crash report somewhere... just didn't want to fill this message with
it.)
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000008
After which, the "finding control points" window cannot be closed.
[From now on I'll call this the "FCP Window"] Pressing "Cancel"
results in message "Hugin Error - Failed to kill process 35432,
error 3: no such process."
Well I suppose that if a control point generator crashes, then maybe
that process would no longer exist. But if so, shouldn’t whatever's
driving the FCP window be aware (or be made aware) of this fact and
respond in a more reasonable way to the "Cancel" button?
As it is, I have to Force Quit Hugin to escape from the sitution.
(If using the Assitant tab,behind the FCP window I see another
window named "Aliging image" - "Finding corresponding points" <empty
progress bar> "Elapsed time: 0:00:00")
Try Autopano-SIFT-C
Appears to succeed, with last few lines in "finding control points"
window reading
Creating output file "/var/folders/Hg/HgTVbhBpG7GpGWUU2vjMhE++
+TI/-Tmp-/ap_reshKdo2t"
You can now load the output file into hugin.
Notice: guessed image format and field-of-view, please check and
adjust.
But the same problem occurs trying to close the "finding control
points" window. (A different process number is reported, of course.)
By the way, why is it "guessing" the image format and FoV? The
source files have EXIF data in them and I set a "lens" for the
images on the Camera and Lens tab.
Try Panomatic.
Also appears to succeed (last two lines read "--- Write output
--- ... Detection took 73.514 seconds."), but again the FCP window
stays up and "Cancel" fails. I must Force Quit Hugin. No control
points exist in the project when I re-open it.
Any ideas on what I should do next?
By the way, when this works correctly what IS supposed to happen?
Does the FCP window just close?
Thanks,
eo
