 If you are working with HG, you should be able to just pull updates

I do worry about 'my' branch diverging. There are some bugs in the
python_scripting branch that have been in it since it was started by
Pablo. I have so far made an effort to only do hg exports from my
local copy, basing my changesets on a pull from the SF repo with my
newest changes committed to that. Maybe I'm suffering from a
misconception here. Can I just merge the default branch into the
python_scripting branch to bring it up-to-date with the default
branch? I'd then have to do an hg bundle to export the changeset
resulting from two parents, but the python_scripting branch would be
up-to-date again. I wanted to keep it simple, but maybe I did the
wrong thing and it's my fault having let the branches diverge so far.
Please excuse my ignorance in these matters, I still haven't totally
gotten my head round mercurial.

Creating debian package with make package will create a deb file which 
includes a tar file.
This tar file normally includes directories and regular files.
But cpack from the 2.8.2 version of cmake creates only the regular files.
That is, installing with dpkg is ok if the destination directories are already 
there.

The target directory creation is missing.

[hugin-ptx] large masks considerably slow down nona

2011-03-01 Thread Kay F. Jahnke
Hi group!

I'm currently working on a script that relies heavily on masking. The script 
generates the masks to arbitrary precision. Most of the time I was using 
spacings of about 100 pixels for the masks, and all was well. Today, while 
testing, I generated much more precise masks. I set the spacing to one pixel, 
and this threw a spanner in the works when I tried to process the data with 
nona. I didn't wait for the process to terminate and tried with 10 pixel 
stride. This increased processing time by roughly 200%!

So I made the test and made a single-image pto and put a 125-point mask on the 
image manually, just to be sure it wasn't some strange effect of my script. It 
took nona over 11 seconds to render the image. when I removed the mask, it only 
took 4.4 seconds. This was with a 12MP 16bit TIFF in stereographic projection, 
on Pre-Release 2010.5.0.a11acbf8be1d. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this? 
Has it been like this all along? Maybe I'm the only one using masks with more 
than a couple of dozen points?

I've attached the .msk file which I used to slow down nona.

Kay

 I've just used the assistant (with cpfind), cleaned some control points (in

 hugin calculate a fused (and for kicks a blended and fused) panorama.

 The result (and the .pto-File) can be found here:

 There is some minor ghosting with the people moving, but no misalignment as 
 you described. From what I guess, there must be a problem with some control 
 points you placed manually. Did you try a clean, fresh start with your 
 images? I don't think that the scaling down of your images prevents a problem 
 from arising...

 (Seems to be down for me at the moment!)

I tried this and indeed it works for the few test images I provided,
thanks (I should have started with simple things before getting into
complex ones). It does not work for the full panorama however, because
there seems to be too much parallax errors and too few remarquable
points to be picked as control (the middle of the panorama is just the
sea and the sky). It does not even work with only the 0EV images so I
guess I need to get that right before getting into the HDR/enfuse
stuff.

Thanks again,

 Hugin-2011.0.0_beta2 RELEASE NOTES

 Hugin is a panorama stitcher and more.  A new version is available.

 A small error passed through the beta1.  Please use this tarball instead.

 SCHEDULE

 https://launchpad.net/hugin/2011.0

 The purpose of the schedule is to make the process as predictable as
 possible
 so that contributors can plan for their own contributions (e.g.
 translations
 and bug fixes) and distributors can plan for the binary builds.

 The schedule is just an indication.  The release will happen when it is
 ready.


We still have the bug in hugin for Leopard which causes the stitch to fail
on OSX Leopard (10.5) [1,2,3]. This does however work correctly on Tiger
(10.4) and Snow Leopard (10.6).
I made a couple of test builds [2] which didn't solve it. As I hadn't got a
good idea left, I then spend a week on the python branch. Then I went a week
on wintersports holidays (this last action was by far the best).

I consider this bug a show-stopper for a release even though there is a
work-around in the form of PTBatcherGui.

I will now continue my efforts to (try to) solve the issue, but might
request support from the programming gurus here.

An alternative which I use is checkinstall, which works even when the

works for me (and as Kornel says, it's easier to de-install).

 My method (working hand-held) is to take the photos with the camera
 settings basically as you do.  Then in Hugin 2010.04:
 1) Set up *unlinked* stacks.
 2) Mask moving people etc.
 3) Temporarily mask out any obviously parallaxed foreground.
 (Assuming that you prefer the background to be properly aligned.)
 4) Run cpfind (multirow/stacked) on all.  As far as I can tell this
 uses align_image_stack within stacks and normal cpfind between stacks.
  Cpfind seems to be aware of the masks, but align_image_stack isn't -
 deal with that in step 5.

 I then remove bad control points:
 5) Edit-Remove control points in masks - this eliminates the masked
 out foreground and moving objects.  Remove the temporary foreground
 masks now.
 6) Run Celeste if there are clouds.
 7) Clean control points button to remove outliers.
 8) Edit-Fine tune, then remove points with 0.8 correlation.  0.9
 works well if you only use align_image_stack, but cpfind creates lots
 of points with lower correlations for me.
 9) During optimizing, I remove control points in stages between
 rerunning the optimizer, based on their mismatch distance (e.g. 10,
5, 2, 1).  Sometimes I need to manually add points between stacks.
 After the initial positions-only optimization and straightening and
 centring the preview, I use calculate optimal size in the Stitcher
 tab so that the pixel mismatches are accurate for successive
 optimization passes.

 For stages 8 and 9 use View-Control point table to select and
 remove points with low correlation and high pixel mismatch.

 Then I mask lens flares etc., do photometric optimization and blending
 as described.  If the foreground looks too bad I crop it out.

Thanks for this very detailed explanation. It looks like a promising
method. I have a few further questions though:

- first, on my machine (developer preview of Hugin built on Jan 23rd
and the control point detection settings you set me) the distance
column in the control points table always contains distances (some
numbers 1) while, after fine tuning, it is supposed to contain
correlation coefficients (should always be 1). How do you select
points by correlation in steps 8 and by distance in step 9, since the
distance column should only contain one of those two? Can you switch
between the two?

- you say that you first do a position only optimisation, then remove
problematic points and then do further optimisations. These are still
position only right?

- it seems the align button in the assistant tab does more than
position optimize + photometric optimization. Indeed, If I create the
control points, then optimize them in the Optimizer tab and finally do
photometric optimization in the exposure tab, the assistant still says
Images or control points have changed, new alignment is needed. What
is missing? What else does it do?

- when performing photometric optimisation, I need to use HDR, fixed
exposure to avoid having hugin correct the under and over exposed
images, right?

Thanks in advance for the help. Sincerely,

JiHO

Re: [hugin-ptx] Stitching and enfusing a handheld panorama with several exposures

2011-03-01 Thread Gareth Jones
Hi,

 - first, on my machine (developer preview of Hugin built on Jan 23rd
 and the control point detection settings you set me) the distance
 column in the control points table always contains distances (some
 numbers 1) while, after fine tuning, it is supposed to contain
 correlation coefficients (should always be 1).

After the fine-tuning, the numbers should always be correlation
coefficients.  Sometimes they are indeed a little 1.  (I don't know
why, my memory of how such things work mathematically is a bit faded
these days!)  Pixel distances early on would be much 1 though.

 How do you select
 points by correlation in steps 8 and by distance in step 9, since the
 distance column should only contain one of those two? Can you switch
 between the two?

Pressing select by distance (and using negative threshold values)
should just do the right thing after fine-tuning.  I don't know of any
way of switching between correlation and distance other than to rerun
the fine-tuner or optimizer.

 - you say that you first do a position only optimisation, then remove
 problematic points and then do further optimisations. These are still
 position only right?

I normally optimize the positions (incremental from anchor); then
straighten and centre in the preview; then calculate optimal size in
the stitcher tab; then re-optimize the positions; then add view (for
360deg or multiple lenses); then barrel b; then d, e, a and c; and
finally X, Y and Z (narrow scenes with no/implicit stacks).  I remove
obviously wrong points (mismatched features, or 50 pixels) as soon as
they become visible in the preview, but I don't start trimming the
smaller control point distances due to parallax until the end,
repeating the final optimization till I'm happy with it.  This is just
habit; you can probably go straight from the position optimization to
the final optimization without the intermediate runs, and repeat it
whilst trimming control points.

 - it seems the align button in the assistant tab does more than
 position optimize + photometric optimization. Indeed, If I create the
 control points, then optimize them in the Optimizer tab and finally do
 photometric optimization in the exposure tab, the assistant still says
 Images or control points have changed, new alignment is needed. What
 is missing? What else does it do?

I don't know what else the assistant does, but I assume (hope!) that
all its functionality is available in the other tabs.  The ...new
alignment is needed message appears for me too after photometric
optimization, but since I've already aligned everything at that point
and I can't see how photometric alignment can alter the geometric
alignment, I just regard it as a quirk of the way the assistant tracks
changes to the image metadata.

Maybe someone else here can enlighten us about that?

 - when performing photometric optimisation, I need to use HDR, fixed
 exposure to avoid having hugin correct the under and over exposed
 images, right?

Yes, leave the exposure for Enfuse/hdr_merge to deal with.

 Thanks in advance for the help.

No problem, I just hope it is help - I don't know if my way is the best way...

[hugin-ptx] Hello, here is a Palmela 2011 update

2011-03-01 Thread Carlos Chegado Lists
Hi,

Here is a Palmela 2011 - update:

*For those without time to read the detail =* Over 60 registered attendees
already signed in, we now have two hotels fully packed with Palmela 2011
attendees, a third hotel under
contracthttp://www.palmela2011.com/featured/palmela-village-golf-resort
to
start accept bookings from today (March 1) with up to 100 rooms available!
Speakers http://www.palmela2011.com/info/conference/speakers and
sponsorshttp://www.palmela2011.com/info/conference/partners being
announced at Palmela2011.com http://palmela2011.com/. Now it's a good time
to sign up for Palmela
2011http://www.palmela2011.com/tutorials-and-conference-registration
.

And here is the more detailed update:
*
*
*Conference Attendees:*

As of today, March 1, we have over 60 attendees registered for the
conference or tutorials + conference programs, this is the highest number of
registrations in the first month of any previous IVRPA conference.
Hopefully we should be able to start publish the attendee list on the Palmela
2011 website http://www.palmela2011.com/info/conference/attendees in the
coming days.
If you want to register for the conference, now it's a good time, check the
ticket prices here http://www.palmela2011.com/tickets and register
herehttp://www.palmela2011.com/tutorials-and-conference-registration
.

*Conference Speakers: *

We have some great speakers lined up
alreadyhttp://www.palmela2011.com/info/conference/speakers, Ignacio
Ferrando Margelí, Joergen Geerds, Nicole Tung and Jason Barr, Thomas K.
Sharpless, but we ain't stopping here, more speakers will be announced
during next month as we aim to cover all hot topics in the panoramic world.
If you are attending Palmela 2011 and want to give a talk here,
contact ushttp://www.palmela2011.com/about/contact,
we still have some 30min and 20min speaker slots available.

*Conference Sponsors:*

We recently opened sponsor registrations and already Nodal
Ninjahttp://www.nodalninja.com/
, Tourwrist http://www.tourwrist.com/, Kolor http://www.kolor.com/
and Garden
Gnome http://gardengnomesoftware.com/ showed their love for this
conference by signing in as Palmela 2011 Sponsors, Vendors or Partners.
Check the terms here http://www.palmela2011.com/info/sponsors and sign in
by registering your company to become a sponsor
herehttp://www.palmela2011.com/tutorials-and-conference-registration
.

*Conference Accommodation:*

The first hotel, Palmela Castle Pousada was sold out on Feb. 14. The second
Hotel, the S. Filipe Fortress Pousada in nearby Setúbal, sold out yesterday,
Feb. 28.
Given the high demand we are experiencing for this conference, we went to
great lengths to find a third hotel to accommodate everyone that wants to
attend Palmela 2011 - The Conference from June 1 to 5, 2011.

The new hotel is the Palmela Village Golf
Resorthttp://www.palmela2011.com/featured/palmela-village-golf-resort
and
although not up there in the Castle, it's located only 10 minutes away from
the village on a recently built golf resort.
We hope this new option with up to 100 rooms available will settle
everyone's need for a room to attend Palmela 2011.

*Palmela 2011 Exhibitions:*

Several teams are working on many different exhibitions and we expect to
start announce the exhibitions in detail next week.
We have planned the following Palmela 2011 exhibitions to open to public on
June 2 and 3, 2011:

   - Gigapixel Challenge.
   - Masters of Contemporary Panoramic Photography.
   - Panos for the People group exhibition (distributed across several
   places on Palmela Old Town).
   - My Planets (stereographic projection group exhibition).
   - Three individual exhibitions from renowned panoramic artists


For some of the exhibitions we will launch in the coming days a request
for submissions from the panoramic community.
Everyone will have equal chance to participate, independently of being an
IVRPA member or not.
Exhibitions will open on the first week of June, remain on display during
the summer and close on August 31.

Yes it just automates existing functions.

The ...new alignment is needed message appears for me too after 
photometric optimization, but since I've already aligned 
everything at that point and I can't see how photometric alignment 
can alter the geometric alignment, I just regard it as a quirk of

I think this flag is set whenever anything in the project has 
chnaged, it probably should be fixed so it only follows control 
point changes.

Re: [hugin-ptx] large masks considerably slow down nona

So I made the test and made a single-image pto and put a 125-point 
mask on the image manually, just to be sure it wasn't some strange 
effect of my script. It took nona over 11 seconds to render the 
image. when I removed the mask, it only took 4.4 seconds. This was 
with a 12MP 16bit TIFF in stereographic projection, on Pre-Release 
2010.5.0.a11acbf8be1d. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this? 
Has it been like this all along? Maybe I'm the only one using 
masks with more than a couple of dozen points?


I've noticed that lots of masks slows down the preview, but 
everything generally works ok for the original intent of rough 
masks manually created in the GUI.


Clearly your generated masks are pushing the limits, it would be 
nice to resolve these issues at some point, this should be a bug 
report.

Re: [hugin-ptx] 2011.0 Release Plan

I was going to say that we shouldn't be supporting anything older
than the current stable release, but if we continue releasing at
twice the rate of Ubuntu (and Fedora etc...) then there will always
be people using the two most recent releases.



There is plenty of evidence around that deviating from release early release
frequently is nearly lethal, including the recent experience of Gimp, our own
experience prior to 2009; the FreeBSD experience with 5.0 in 2000-2003.


Yes the fast release schedule has been a good thing, I just couldn't 
do the work to make it happen.  Releasing often gives contributors 
the chance to see their stuff get general distribution, but also 
works against half-finished stuff from being pushed into the trunk 
before it is ready.
