I consider it a lot of work to convert the log file into a peer-reviewed Lensfun database entry. The most prominent problem is the EXIF hell. Besides, begging for contributions works quite well. We've added 100 lenses in the last 6 months via <http://wilson.bronger.org/calibration>. By the way, while Hugin is the primary *source* of Lensfun data, I don't really see much benefit for Hugin *using* Lensfun. Hugin supports more fit parameters than Lensfun, the FOV always has to be fitted anyway, and you want to have a profile of your lens specimen. Moreover, Lensfun optimises the behaviour at the edges, while Hugin optimises the behaviour at the stitching seams. FWIW, I have never taken lens data from Lensfun when I stitched panoramas, although I'm the most active Lensfun developer at the moment. Tschö, Torsten. P.S.: Funny enough, Robert Fendt states in the above referenced discussion: "The current approach also has the problem that it sets d=1-(a+b+c), which changes the apparent focal length of the lens." Exactly about this we've had a discussion on this list this week. ;-) -- Torsten Bronger Jabber ID: [email protected] or http://bronger-jmp.appspot.com -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
