The EvaluateControlPointErrorAndComponents function in libpano13's
adjust.c seems find individual control point errors:
http://panotools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/panotools/trunk/libpano/adjust.c?revision=1267&view=markup#l_1945

However, it looks the the distances are adjusted after optimising here:
http://panotools.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/panotools/trunk/libpano/adjust.c?revision=1267&view=markup#l_2157

Though, as you say, there are too many wrappers. So there might be more
to it.

cri,

I had originally renamed all my different exposure files to match up
with the original exposure...  That's not too bad but I think your
"legit" method of just applying a different exposure's .pto file as a
template is a bit better and more convenient.

I'll let you know how it works out!

BTW - Yes... Using a great tripod is a must when your panorama is 240
photos.. =)

Have you tried to use a template? Just load all the photo at the same
exposure level and go through all the needed passages to get the final
panorama. Then save the project as pto file. Now start a new poject,
load all the images at a different exposure level and select "File-
>Apply template". In the dialog select the previously saved pto file
and you will get all the parameters loaded on the new exposure level
images. In this way you could save a panorama for every exposure
level.
To get the best out of this procedure you need to take all the images
from a tripod.

[hugin-ptx] Any way to reuse control points on a different set of images?

2010-04-16 Thread RickyRicky
Gents,

I have shot a few high resolution night time 180 degree panorama but I
think I've been doing it wrong.

My typical workflow is to shoot from three to six images of each
frame, then to HDR or exposure blend these photos together and THEN to
HDR the resulting images.

That workflow works but if you want to make any changes to how the
image is HDR'ed or exposure blended, it means you have to start all
over again from the beginning.

I've been thinking, why don't I create panoramas from each bracketed
exposure using hugin, and then HDR and/or exposure blend the resulting
panoramas?

The problem is..  Hugin will most likely not select the same control
points for the various different panoramas since at varying exposures,
some control points will be more visible, and others will not.

Is there any way to force hugin to use the same control points for a
different set of images?

Thanks for any help!  I'm happy to show my work if y'all are
interested in seeing what I've been working on so far...

imagemagick should have installed the command line tools and set the 
PATH variable such, that you can simply call them in any command window. 
If you are in the folder c:\myimages you simply type the identify 
command at the command prompt:


C:\myimages>identify -format "[\"%f\",%w,%h]," *.jpg >myfile.txt

If you get a not found error open a new command window and type PATH 
(and enter) the path to imagemagick folder should be part of the output

[hugin-ptx] control points error after opmtization

After optimizing a window, "Optimisation result" opens and reports the
average control point distance. I wanted to see how this is computed,
though I see how the mean is computed for all the control points in
calcCtrlPntsErrorStats(), I couldn't decipher the code and find how
the error is computed for each control point. Many wrappers and
duplicates make reading the code a but difficult :-) any help is

Open a command window. cd to the desired folder. enter the command. ready.

If you have more work to do and if you ask nicely I write a batch script

As an experimental approach, one could take a "known good"

blur them to make a test image set.

John,

I had a similar problem when compiling text for control files for
WPanorama. I detected, more or less by accident, that I can print
lists of files with a variety of attributes, among them dimensions,
using [xplorer²] Lite (http://www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm).
In its default configuration it does not show file dimensions. Go to
menu "view" > Select Columns, add "Dimensions".
In the active pane, highlight the files you are interested in
Copy the file list to clipboard using "Ctrl P" (not "Ctrl C")

Hope this helps
