to change character when you move the ImageCache part to a separate

happened only sometimes. Or the other way around. Or a crash might

I think Jan's idea is very interesting in principle, but OTOH that's far

energy (of the developers and the users alike) is IMHO far better 
invested in thinking about and creating a GUI that can be used more 
instinctively.


My favourite would be an interface that simplifies the current list of 
tabs to a threefold of input / editing / output, aimed at those who 
prefer a more keyboard based under the hood approach. Plus the Fast 
Preview enhanced to an interface that allows for a very elegant visual 
(drag and drop?) workflow and would likely supersede the current 
Assistant tab.

Differently processed single raw files are perfect source material -
if the scene can be captured with the dynamic range available. I don't
know what you have, but my sensor's dynamic range is somewhere in the
12 to 14 bit range, and my landscapes sometimes just don't fit into
that. I wish they would. In fact I think the technology to expose the
sensor for a fixed period of time and then count the photons is silly.
What would be much more sensible is measuring the time it takes each
cell to reach saturation. When the exposure is finally stopped, those
cells which aren't full can still be photon-counted to define the
shadows. Store the result in a floating point format and you end up
with a truly HDR raw image without any fuss and then you can proceed
by exposure-blending different versions of it instead of the
cumbersome tone-mapping. I wonder if that's technically feasible, but
why not? Processing happens in the GHz range, that's 2 to the power of
32. Exposure times are in an order of magnitude of thousandth of
seconds. So in 2 ^ -10 seconds you should have 2 ^ 22 clock cycles -
that should be the dynamic range achievable just by measuring the time-
to-satuartion for the cells. If the full cell triggers a store
operation on the current clock value, there you go. Like a neuron
firing. 2 ^ 22 seems like plenty already (can't be bothered just right
now to make dB of it). Wonder if anyone thought of that?

Mysterious... here you've dug out a resopnse to a thread I made in
May. And lo and behold, calling enfuse --help just now the options I
quoted aren't there. That took me some figuring out, but I think I
know what happened. I was using a bleeding edge version of enfuse
then, but it had a bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/enblend/+bug/787387

So I reverted to an older version, and I suppose that one hasn't got
the --exposure-cutoff parameter, even though it makes great sense. So
currently, this is just theory and I've got nothing to show
demonstrating the efficacy of this option.

But I trust it - after all enfuse's statistics are very
straightforward. It's just that a cutoff may cause a discontinuity
which becomes visible if the step is too large, so cutoffs have to be
treated with caution. If the desired effect can be achieved by
tweaking mu and sigma, there are no discontinuities in the weighting
functions. If using a cutoff is considered, additionally tweaking mu
and sigma may lessen the discontinuity's magnitude.

  I think this is one of the most serious bugs hugin ever had.
 
  What makes you reach this judgment?

 Mainly because of the number of users affected by this issue.

 Yes, it is growing.  And I see two drivers of growth that would confirm your
 hypothesis that this is a threading issue:

 1) as time progresses, people buy newer, better PCs with more threads.  If
 single-thread machines are not affected; dual-thread machines are barely
 affected; and machines with 4 threads and more are significantly affected,
 it
 seems to indicate that this is a threading issue.

 2) as Hugin has evolved, threads have become more widely used and conflicts
 more likely.  Revision 4524 (2010-11-04 18:31:15) is as far back as I went
 in
 my investigations so far looking for the use of threads.  This is when the
 ImageCache was transferred to a separate thread, making the application more

 Also the
 fact that it renders the fast preview, which is IMHO becoming the
 center of the workflow, unusable makes it more important.

 Yes, the FPW is becoming the center of the workflow IMHO too, and making it
 usable is very important.

 I suspect that getting the threading right will be a big and intensive job.
 The more I look at recent reports in the bug tracker, the more dots there
 are
 to connect and they all seem to lead to the same pesky thing.

 Could the conflict be related to the use of different threading libraries?

 we have boost threads since revision 4524 [0] for the images cache and
 cpfind
 uses zthread?

I still have a mono-processor laptop from 2002 running Windows XP.
Would it help if I did a few tests on it?

Sorry, my description wasn't clear enough. My problem is that there
aren't several Hugins, there is only one Hugin :-) So it should be
Hugin CPFind or Hugin's CPFindinstead of Hugins CPFind and
Hugin batch processor or Hugin's batch processor instead of
Hugins batch processor. This is very minor of course.

ICC profiles in the intermediate images are required to use the -c

Using exiftool to copy metadata is a kludge, I think each program

Re: [hugin-ptx] Stitching 4 images with Hugin

2011-07-27 Thread pgreenwood

Hello. I'm a new member. I've used Hugin in the past to create a panorama
(photo from one point rotating about the focal plane) and had pretty good
success. Now I'm trying to stitch together 151 photos of a flat floor,
mosaic-style, to preserve the layout of PEX tubing now buried in the slab.
All photos were taken at 10 ft distance with (I believe) a Sony DSC-P200. I
started with four contiguous photos, two rows and two columns. I identified
three CPs on each pair of photos (adjacent and kiddy-corner). I expected a
rock-solid rendering but when I tried to preview in either previewer, the
result was unsatisfactory. I'm not exactly sure what x,y,z etc settings I
should be using. (How) shall I upload files so you can see what I have?

2011-07-27 Thread Tom Sharpless
Agree with Nomad that metadata copying should be customisable, and
with Markku, that it should be done within the hugin tools, in a way
that supports hugin functions first.  However both of those sound to
me like big projects.  I guess I'll take Yuv's advice and just stuff
an updated option patch into the Hg trunk, that will affect only the
application of exiftool to to the final pano, not to intermediate
files.  And I'll put in a hook, at least, to allow customizing the
exiftool command, if that appears feasible.

   which typically involves de-compressing and re-compressing
   the whole thing.  But  for me there is no  payoff  -- I
   really don't need camera settings in my panos, and I don't
   need a CIE profile either, as I always have to convert from
   Adobe RGB to sRGB by hand anyhow.  I would rather be able
   to stitch a few more panos per week.  I suspect I am not
   alone.

  I very much like that the Geotags and Camera settings are
  copied over from my original photos to the resulting pano,
  please don't take that away! But as I see you're aiming to
  provide an option in the preference tab, so I'm just going to
  keep it set to use exiftool all the time.

 ICC profiles in the intermediate images are required to use the -c
 (CIECAM blending) option in enblend/enfuse.
 Using exiftool to copy metadata is a kludge, I think each program
 in the processing pipeline should handle the metadata in
 accordance of the MWG guidelines:http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/specs/
 That would avoid the extra copying and slowdown caused by
 exiftool.

 The beta version has not that problem.
 Used the installer, did a clean install with the installer and
 unpacked the zipfile. In all trials I get the crash. So it don't
 stitch.
 In the beta 1 version of Matthew Petroff I don't have that problem.
 Other windows users having that problem too?
 Will file a bug report in Launchpad.

[hugin-ptx] Repository acces in time between release candidates

2011-07-27 Thread Vaclav Cerny - vatoz
Hello,
I have seen, that some last Yuval's commits in 2011.2 branch was
translation updates.
I have also found, that my  Czech translation update from default
branch (  723668d8c4cc ) wasn't one of them.  2011.2  with copy of
file from default branch will be fully translated and compilable/
installable/runnable.

I can commit it to 2011.2 branch, but I am not sure, if it is a right
thing to bypass our release manager in time between release
candidates.
What's your opinion?

Vaclav Cerny

Hiya all,

Very much a lurker here but I thought I'd chip in my tuppence as well...

 Yes, this is deliberate, thank you for confirming that technology is
 working.
 
  In some ways it's pretty
  interesting, but it's also quite disconcerting.
 
 Would you care to elaborate on your opinion?  What do you find interesting
 and what do you find disconcerting?  I am interested to know how this
 promotion of an artwork made with Hugin is being perceived.  This is
 subjective and more difficult to understand than the excellent description
 of what you saw on the page.

I must say, I think the overlayed picture is a clever but very odd feature. 
The thing I mainly dislike about it, is that it covers too much of the screen 
and it covers the part where I want to read. Scrolling obviously reveals the 
text but I now have to look at the middle of the screen rather than at the top 
where I would usually expect to read text. 
To me, that's annoying. I wouldn't mind a fully expanded version of the pano 
at the top and maybe another one(the same) at the bottom but they should stay 
there and scroll off the screen when I scroll up and down.

At the moment, it looks like a pop-up ad that I can't even close.

As I said, only lurking and hence feel free to disregard my PoV.

But thanks for a superb app.

Cheers,
 Steve

Sorry, this was an oversight.  All other translations came in via the tracker 
[0].

 
 I can commit it to 2011.2 branch

Yes please do.  In general, I do not move strings or translation from the 
default branch to the release branch.  If you are sure of your PO file, please 
commit it to both branches in the future.  If you are not sure, do what most 
translators do and attach the file to a tracker ticket.


 I am not sure, if it is a right
 thing to bypass our release manager in time between release
 candidates.

Use your judgment.

As a general rule: look at the last commit to the release branch.

If it is tagged RC, adding another commit to that branch means forcing an 
extra release cycle.  That's something you want to discuss with the release 
manager indeed.  Maybe he is just counting down the hours until he can declare 
the RC final and open that can of cold beer and you might be interfering with 
that plan.

If it is not tagged RC, as it is now, adding another commit to the branch does 
not change much.  Translations and bug fixes are welcome.  New strings and new 
features are not.  Raise a discussion only if you need to add new strings / 
new features.

The current status of the 2011.2 release is that it is suspended.  There will 
be an RC3.  I do not know when.  2011.2 is plagued by a nasty bug and there is 
no prediction how fast it can be fixed, if it is fixable.  By now even I agree 
that it is a show stopper.  We have hit the limit of release early release 
often.

Thank you for https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/817104

I got confirmation from Matthew that he used a new SDK to build RC2.  It is 
likely that a number of the newly observed bugs are a consequence of the new 
SDK.

He will get back to Windows users with more information and a strategy moving 
forward with both Hugin itself and the new SDK.

The old SDK had come in age and needed badly an update.

Thanks for the quick fix. 
It's nice that I can close it now although it's a shame that the picture is 
gone completely afterwards. 

Maybe, I'm just old-fashioned but my preference would simply be to have the 
panorama as part of the text, just above 

Changes since 2011.0.0

That way, you have 
- the Hugin Release Notes header at the very top
- hugin's motto : more than just a panorama stitcher
and then a beautiful example of what one can do with the program before 
reading about the detailed changes.

No fancy CSS and no extra click needed.

Cheers,
 Steve

I had to allow jquery.com to make it work. That only hides David's 
panorama but in that case I wonder why I see a different panorama in the 
header area.


How about exchanging the panorama (the one in the header) in the 
/releases section with  with the panorama that is specially featured?

 I am no expert.  You probably know better than me, and indeed you

Difficult to say.  Everybody has his own procedures, and mine would
have been with gdb if I had been able to reproduce the bug.  What I'm
going to do now is to try it out with Apple and Microsoft and see if I
can reproduce it on those platforms with the same data.  But if I do,
I don't know what I can do about it, at least on Microsoft, where I
don't have any development tools.

Which version should I be trying?  hugin-2011.2_beta?

 I just tried to apply a strategy that I know from solving finance
 problems to solve this code problem, helping those who can provoke
 the bug zero-in on the changeset that introduced it; and trying to
 find correlations between their specific situations and the buggy
 behavior while not being able to reproduce it myself.

Certainly getting a collection of data on where it happens and where
it doesn't might be useful.  It seems we need at least:

  OS, including specific release
  Way the executable was built (libraries, etc)
  Number of processors

It would also be good to find a standard set of images with which the
bug shows itself.

Another thing that might be of interest would be to set the
preferences to use only one CPU and see if the problem still occurs.
It might also be nice to add an option to limit the number of threads,
but I suspect that's non-trivial.

the formats and purposes are completely different and I would not want to add 
restrictions on the featured splash screen artwork.

Banner panorama:  Purpose: embellish the website.  Requirements won't change 
much over time. 165px tall, must somewhat repeat seamlessly (although this 
seems to have been relaxed in some contributions).

Splash screen artwork:  Purpose: promote the artwork created with Hugin.  
Requirements somewhat flexible over time as the universe of what can be done 
with Hugin is expanding.  Currently (first crop of submission) requested ratio 
of approximately 1:3 to fit inside Hugin's logo; displayed on the release 
notes page at 256px tall.

I would rather relax the requirements for the splash screen artwork - there 
will still be some sort of crop to the given format of the logo, but the 
artwork itself can expand beyond that and especially on the website I would 
like to see it stand out, break out of the existing frame the same way that 
Hugin help its user break free of the sensor or film frame.  The frame stands 
for the limitations that Hugin overcomes.

 Hello. I'm a new member. I've used Hugin in the past to create a panorama
 (photo from one point rotating about the focal plane) and had pretty good
 success. Now I'm trying to stitch together 151 photos of a flat floor,
 mosaic-style, to preserve the layout of PEX tubing now buried in the slab.
 All photos were taken at 10 ft distance with (I believe) a Sony DSC-P200. I
 started with four contiguous photos, two rows and two columns. I identified
 three CPs on each pair of photos (adjacent and kiddy-corner). I expected 
 a
 rock-solid rendering but when I tried to preview in either previewer, the
 result was unsatisfactory. I'm not exactly sure what x,y,z etc settings I
 should be using. (How) shall I upload files so you can see what I have?
  

Have you seen the tutorial on the website? I believe that the translation 
optimizer is what you need to create a mosaic picture.
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/Mosaic-mode/en.shtml
Maybe you should add more CPs or use the built-in CPfind.
