[hugin-ptx] Re: Stiching fisheye images to a 360 degree image

[RizThon]

Hi
I'm also often having issues stitching fisheye pictures...and here
with the sample pictures you give, indeed it's quite a mess, and some
pictures get upside down...I just opened the pics, and specified to
use a full frame fisheye, the 8mm and 1.59x are already there. Appart
from that I've got all the default settings (I got hugin 0.7).
Enabling rotation search (Preferences/Control Points Editor/Rotation
search) allows me to get a "less worse" result, ie I don't got upside
down images anymore, and the ceiling is where it should be...

I hear there is a big quality difference between the F3.5 and F4.

Me too, the automatic points were confused by the symmetrical 
building.  You need to look at all pairs of images and delete lots 
of bogus control points.  I'll attach a fixed-up .pto project for 
this set of images that shows a good alignment.

That could be easily handled by a script.

Thanks Bruno, that should solve my problem.
Thanks also to all who offered help.

panotools/hugin will by default install to /usr/local, this is good 
because the official fedora stuff completely ignores anything in 
/usr/local - If you mess things up just delete the entire folder and 
everything in it.

This does mean that to run your SVN hugin you need to adjust 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH each time.

>I am building on Fedora9 x86_64.

Alternatively you could rebuild these recent-ish el4 libpano13/hugin 
rpms and use them:

Then I suggest joining the 'Hugin Users Group' on flickr and start a 
thread to kick it off.  These weekly/monthly theme things generally 
have the same format: a new 'discussion' is started each time and 
each person posts one image in the thread.

[hugin-ptx] Re: monthly assignment, any interest?

[Dale Beams]

I'd like to stick with 30 days.  Partly because I think it pushes you for 
output rather than perfection.  I've found some of my best panos were taken 
when I was doing 1 each day.  They were not perfect, but rather I had to locate 
and find something interestingly enough to take.  You can only take one a day 
before you start running into the same subject matter.

I would hope that were not all shooting for perfect panos.  As it's been 
mentioned, there are hundreds of perfect panos out there.  I've tried to do 
things with hugin I thought was possible, but was really impossible to date.

More importantly, what makes it different than other groups, simply it's hugin 
from the list or the channel, people that are activley using hugin, svn, etc.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Some help please with linux build from SVN

[Dale Beams]

It's a duplicate situation.  However, I tend to really mess things up when 
trying various things out.  As a result i build in a vm to isolate from my 
production system.  This way when the *.deb or *.rpm is done i move them out to 
a web server and feel safe that no "extra" dependencies are needed.

[hugin-ptx] Stiching fisheye images to a 360 degree image

[Lars Tore Gustavsen]

Hello
Sorry if this is a double post, but I think I used wrong address in
the first one.

I'm consider buying a sigma 8mm F 3,5 to use with my canon 10D (1,6
crop) for panoramic work.. Luckily enough I found some pictures from
almost the same combination  online. Only differences are this lens is
the F4 version.

I have used hugin for years for printed panorama, and I have even
tested 360 degree with my 17-40. But this time I have a hard time
figuring out what's wrong.

I have downloaded some test images from bottom of this page:
http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/tutorial/index.asp?ID=37
The are locate here
http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/stitchingtest/sigma8mmsamples.zip
if the above url does' not work.

The author, Dr. Karl Harrison also has a tutorial about stitching this
images with ptgui.
http://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtour/tutorial/index.asp?ID=42

My problem is that there is no ways I can easily create a so good
looking result with hugin. Actually the results I end up with are not
usable at all.

I'm using linux and have hugin 0.7 installed. I have tried to enable
"roation search" in the preference. I'm also use settings for a
circular fisheye 8mm lens. I crop them in the crop dialog. Whatever I
do, I can not find a good match with auto generated control points. I
typical end with an average error from 80 and up to above 800. :-(

Well I'm quite frustrated now, can this error be because this is
compressed jpg? Any other hint?

Or is the solution to always find the control point manually with
fisheye lenses?

Regards
Lars Tore Gustavsen

yes, for me the assignment would be to help me motivate to generate more images
and to help motivate me to get outside my comfort zone for making panoramas. 
with
the added icing of helping to explore the feature set in hugin. i also would 
like
to increase dialog about aesthetics enter into images and panorama (color, 
shape, form,
etc) being untrained in fine arts for the most par.

of course, would be silly to make an assignment so specific that only

this would be very difficult for me, and perhaps others. my workflow, defined 
over
years includes lightroom and photoshop, and i would be loathe to suspend my 
normal
workflow.

this was floated around for a while indeed.
for me, the main benefit would be... to get me make more panos ;)
currently i make some weak ones, then tuck them away in backups.
if such an assignment would be started, that would motivate me to make 
more panos (and eventually, i hope, better ones as well).

of course, this is different for every person, but i'd suggest starting 
with a longer period like 2 months. if most who are interested will call 
for a shorter period, shorten it afterwards.

assignments should be generic enough to allow fulfilling in any location 
on the world, but specific enough so that clear requirements for 
submitted works are set.

given that this was suggested for hugin, i'd suggest positioning this as 
so that whole process has to be done using opensource tools (well, 
except camera firmware maybe... ;) ).

I do apologise to all who I slighted by saying it was easy;
I tend to think of (and work with) printable panoramas, i.e.
up to 360 horizontal FOV, but less than 90 degree vertical FOV.

Indeed !

see this tripodless attempt:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/533695530/in/set-72057594100163739/

Strangely enough, an attempt with a tripod is much less satisfying
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbprzd/1346116900/in/set-72057594100163739/

This one was with a tripod much too small for the big tripod head, but
it worked ok

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin on OpenSolaris/Solaris

[Harry van der Wolf]

Hi,

On MacOSX when doing a straight cmake cross-compiling for another
architecture I need to specify the openexr include directory as well and it
works fine.
so, the question is: How did you specify this ?

If I would specify it on your solaris system I would use:
"cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-DOPENEXR_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/OpenEXR ."

Is that what you did?

Another remark: You specify "cmake  .", thereby running the cmake
process from the hugin source directory. Cmake supports "out of directory"
builds. You can better create a build directory inside the hugin directory
and then "cd" into that directory and use cmake like "cmake  ..".
This will keep your source directory clean and you can easlity empty your
build directory without touching your hugin source trunk.

Chuckle. My humble Canon compact A630, with
(as for most compacts) "live view" and a "vari-angle LCD"
(AKA flip out) deals with this rather nicely.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin on OpenSolaris/Solaris

[azp...@gmail.com]

Hi again!

Well, the problem is that cmake doesn`t recognise my OpenEXR
installation. I installed it directly from IPS (it`s OpenSolaris repo
tool, much like Debian`s apt), and these files residing at /usr/
include/OpenEXR.

then this happens:
teknika% pfexec cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .
-- Found TIFF: /usr/include
-- Found JPEG: /usr/include
-- Found PNG: /usr/include
CMake Error: Could NOT find OPENEXR
-- Configuring done


Although I have looked through FindOpenEXR.cmake and tried to set the
OPENEXR_INCLUDE_DIR to /usr/include and OPENEXR_LIBRARIES to /usr/
include/OpenEXR. That didn`t helped.

I've already thought about that zones where different projections are
used according which was discussed in thread about panini. Moreover I
think it would be easier to implement (it's math seems easier) than my
original idea to implement new ghost removal technique and making it
modular so it can be used inside of enfuse (and I think it could be
used also in enblend to get rid of paralax).

Just set /home/terry/Hugin/SVNsrc/Hugin-build/usr/local/bin to be the
first in your PATH, the set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/home/terry/Hugin/SVNsrc/Hugin-build/usr/local/lib64. If haven't used
DESTDIR when installing all remaining files should be found without
problem. If not, it could make some problems. Then you should rebuild
it with changing prefix. Anyway, why you are not just installing to
/usr/local, i think that fedora's packages doesn't use it for
installation.

I think that in this case it would be easier to take photos without
tripod. Moreover, my EOS 400D doesn't have live display function so
looking in view-finder which is 2 cm above the ground is almost
impossible. But it seems like an interesting idea. I've quite a lot
casual macro photos, but this idea of making pano of "live in the
undergrowth" is really cool. I've to try it in the summer.

To the original topic. I completely agree with Yuv, there are lots of
places, where you can find nice and interesting panoramas. Only
difference between them and this would be only that in this case hugin
would be used. But there is one problem – there are already groups on
Flick with this aim.
