[hugin-ptx] Re: Towards a non-patented control point detector

2010-03-04 Thread Bart van Andel
The name of Hugin itself comes from Norse mythology [0] (Huginn and
Muninn [1], which stand for thought and memory respectively, are the
ravens who tell Odin how the earth is doing). I think it may be a nice
idea to steal another name there.

So... what about Loki? According to its Wikipedia article [2], Loki
assists the gods, and sometimes causes problems for them. Loki is a
shape shifter and in separate incidents he appears in the form of a
salmon and a mare.. Certainly a feature detector assists our precious
Hugin, and certainly this sometimes will cause problems (bad matches
etc.). I don't know about the internal working but it might do some
shape shifting too. Anyway afterwards the images (shapes) will be
shifted based on the feature points found.

Besides that, Loki sounds a bit like localize, which is what it
does, it localizes points which will be used to connect the images.

Of course we could also add a cheesy backronym [3] like Locally
Oriented Keypoint Indexer (depending on what it actually does under
the hood this might or might not be correct), or Localizer of
Orientation independent Keypoints of Interest. Anyone with a cheese-o-
matic can think of even nicer backronyms, if you tune the machine
correctly. ;-)

 We might want to find something a little less common. Although these
 softwares are not doing the same thing, it might be better to have
 something more unique:

I agree with Seb. There are even more occurrences like daisy chain(ing) in
the traditional, electrical, IT, sexual, networking, etc. meanings.

Why not keep it simple descriptive (in the panotools) tradition and couple
it at the same time unmistakably to Hugin and name it hugin_cp_tool (with
or without the underscores or hyphens (minus signs) or upper/lower
characters in the name).
The tool appendix describes what it's two purposes: namely descripting and
matching.
The keypoints binary can keep it's name AFAIK or anyone wanting to be
creative on that one too?

hugin_cp_tool or huginCPtool is not nice, it's not poetic (like something
daisy like), but I think it describes unmistakably what it does.

So far my 2 cents.

Harry

[hugin-ptx] Re: Smartblend wrapper and Hugin 0.8 and upward till Hugin 2010.01

2010-03-04 Thread Bart van Andel
Hi,

Hmm this had to do with quotes in filenames, which it should now
handle properly. Get the just updated version here:
http://hugin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hugin/hugin/trunk/platforms/windows/smartblend-wrapper/smartblend-hugin.bat?revision=5050

 Hi

 I am new here so I had better introduce myself!  My name is Trevor, I
 live in the UK and have only been using Hugin for two months. It's a
 great piece of software and I would like the thank everyone who has
 put the time in.

 I also experience the inverted jpeg. Yesterday I downloaded a newer
 version of Hugin for Windows (Pre-Release 2010.1.0.5046 built by zoran
 zoric) and I get the following error:

 C:/Users/User/Downloads/Hugin5023/bin/Smartblend/smartblend-
 hugin.bat --compression NONE -f4608x1935 -o test.tif
 test.tif
 [smartblend-wrapper] Skipping compression argument and its parameter:
 --compression NONE
 [smartblend-wrapper] Skipping crop argument: -f4608x1935
 [smartblend-wrapper] Output file: test.tif
 The syntax of the command is incorrect.
 make: *** [test.tif] Error 255

 I have tried using a panorama that previously worked OK and get the
 same result. It looks as if one of the parameters might have changed
 or I am doing something silly!!

 regards
 Trevor

 The version of Smartblend is 1.2.5.0 dated 25/03/2007

  Hello Bart

  The ouput file now has the EXIF info.
  As I understand from your previous answer there is no compression
  available due to parameter stripping , needed for enblend to work.
  Can live with it and compress it later.
  The only strange thing is that a JPEG output is upside down.
  Have other people that experience too?

  Kind regards

   incomplete), fixed that. Sorry Bruno, you'll need to merge again I

I just committed a new version, which can be found at [0]. Tested with
Hugin 2009.04 official build, but it should be version independent. It
will work with Hugin as long as Hugin does not the command line
arguments currently supplied to enblend/smartblend. The wrapper
currently strips -f and --compression, gets the output from -o and
leaves everything else alone. The readme also got an update to reflect
the changes.

By the way it's okay to include the wrapper and accompanying readme in
a future Hugin package, so users won't have to go search for the
wrapper in the svn repos themselves. I have no experience with
building such packages myself though.
