Re: [hugin-ptx] new image stitching software

[Matthew Petroff]

A quick look at the executable shows that the UI is built with Qt and the 
backend uses OpenCV, so it probably isn't using code from Hugin.

[hugin-ptx] Re: [FR] Is Hugin able to read .fits files ?

[Matthew Petroff]

Hugin cannot read FITS files directly, but converting FITS images to a 
format the Hugin can read, e.g. TIFF, isn't difficult. ImageMagick [1] is 
one such utility that can do the conversion. This is based on the 
assumption that your FITS files are actually images (FITS is a versatile 
contain format that can also store things such as data tables instead of 
images).

[hugin-ptx] Re: Different approach from attempt to stitch (super-resolution?) night sky (late 2014)

[Matthew Petroff]

I would recommend looking at Astrometry.net [1], which does blind 
astrometric calibration of images of the night sky. This give you FITS 
World Coordinate System metadata for the images [2] that maps image pixels 
to celestial coordinates. However, it does have some issues with fisheye 
lenses, although there seem to be workarounds [3].

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2013 32bits crashing and other versions not working

[Matthew Petroff]

Hugin 2014.0.0 only works on Vista and above, although previous 32-bit 
versions should work. As Windows XP is no longer receiving security updates 
from Microsoft, I would highly recommend using a different operating system.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Reverse panoramic - emulating a fancy motorized star-tracking camera rig

[Matthew Petroff]

Another way to align the images is to use the Astrometry.net software that 
will solve for the pointing of each image on the celestial sphere [1]. 
There's also a paper that uses pointings from said software to combine a 
large number of astronomy images to extract details that aren't visible in 
the source images [2].

No, they're not. By default, Visual Studio 2013 builds are not compatible 
with Windows XP. There's an option to make them compatible that needs to be 
set at build time, which I forgot about.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Final version Hugin 2014.0.0 released

My recent builds have been dynamically linked, instead of statically linked 
as outlined on the Panotools wiki, since it makes the download considerably 
smaller. I have some scattered notes from when I set up the build 
environment, but they're much less detailed than what is currently on the 
Panotools wiki for static builds. I might try to pull together my notes 
next month and post them somewhere on the wiki, but creating any sort of 
detailed instructions would require rebuilding the build environment from 
scratch, which is rather time consuming.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Final version Hugin 2014.0.0 released

[Matthew Petroff]

Windows binaries for Hugin 2014.0.0 are now available (finally). For the 
Python
enabled builds, one needs a preexisting Python 3.3 installation.

These will be the last Windows builds I plan on producing. If it wasn't
immediately obvious by how long it took me to produce these builds, building
for Windows is no longer a priority for me. When I started producing builds 
in
2010, I was a Windows user who occasionally dabbled with Linux. Two and a 
half
years ago, I switched primarily to Linux but still used Windows 
occasionally.
This spring, with the end of Windows XP support, I stopped using Windows
altogether, as the Windows machines I have all run Windows XP. I still keep 
a
Windows 7 virtual machine around if I need to run a Windows-only program, 
which
is what I've used to build Hugin as of late. However, creating and testing a
complete set of Windows builds for Hugin takes a few hours and is rather
tedious. Since I no longer use these builds myself, producing them has 
become a
chore, and I'd rather spend my time contributing to the community in other
ways. Additionally, I am not able to test the builds to the extent I would 
like
to. If someone steps up to take over, I'd be happy to give him or her 
pointers.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Pannellum 2.0

[Matthew Petroff]

The initial size of the panorama shouldn't be a problem. I've tested it up 
to cube faces that are 8432px per side, but as far as I know, the maximum 
image size should only be limited by available memory. I didn't see 
anything unusual with your panoramas, and they appeared to be loading 
images from zoom levels 2 and 3. I'll readily admit that the method I'm 
using to choose which zoom level to display is suboptimal. I think the fact 
that you are using a portrait aspect ratio is causing lower resolution 
tiles to display, since the current zoom level algorithm is dependent on 
the horizontal field of view. I probably should be using the diagonal field 
of view. I added a bug to the issue tracker for this [1].

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2014.0.0 Windows 64bit binary

[Matthew Petroff]

I've been rather busy and haven't had time to create Windows builds. I'm 
going to try to get to it, but I can't really give an estimate as to when.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Pannellum 2.0

[Matthew Petroff]

Using the `fallback` option allows one to specify a URL for a fallback 
viewer. While the pan0 viewer might be open source, I have no desire 
whatsoever to deal with Flash and think the quicker it goes away, the 
better; additionally pan0 doesn't seem to have much faith in their own 
viewer as all their panoramas are using krpano. Older, unsupported versions 
of IE have about 7.5% market share, which is less than the share of 
browsers that don't support Flash. At this point, an HTML5 viewer is better 
supported by browsers than a Flash one.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Pannellum 2.0

Thanks for testing. It seems I forgot to include fallback URLs in the 
configuration file, so the fallback didn't happen. It should hopefully work 
now.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Pannellum 2.0

[Matthew Petroff]

The CSS 3D renderer only works on Webkit / Blink (krpano's CSS 3D renderer 
doesn't work in Firefox either). I've successfully tested it on Chromium 36 
on Linux, Chrome 36 on Android and Windows, and Android Browser 4.1. I 
don't have any iOS devices to test on, so I don't know about that. It also 
only works for the multires configuration as it requires a separate set of 
higher resolution cube face images with the border row duplicated to 
prevent visible seams along the edges of the cube faces; the included 
Python multires generation script takes care of everything. The WebGL 
renderer has been tested on various versions of Firefox and Chrome on both 
Linux and Windows.

The tour configuration hasn't changed much since it was added a year and a 
half ago.

[hugin-ptx] Pannellum 2.0

[Matthew Petroff]

Two years in the making, I finally released Pannellum 2.0, which is a near 
complete rewrite. The renderer was replaced with raw WebGL, and 
multiresolution panorama support was added, along with a fallback CSS 3D 
renderer. Other additions include support for JSON configuration files, 
hotspots, tours, compass headings, CORS, partial panoramas, and cubic 
panoramas. Unfortunately, there is still a dearth of 
documentation—something I need to work on.

Windows binaries for Hugin 2014.0.0-rc1 are now available (maybe?). 
SourceForge seems to be having some issues as I uploaded the files four 
hours ago, but they're still listed as "this file will be ready for

Python 3.3 installation.

They're built with Visual Studio 2013 and wxWidgets 3.0.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2014.0beta1 released

[Matthew Petroff]

The only change that was required for Hugin to build was adding  
for std::min. I also needed to add it in a few places to OpenEXR for it to 
build. My best guess is it was a difference between static and shared 
builds; I know at least the libpano change was required due to me compiling 
a shared build. I kept getting internal compiler errors that required me to 
restart the build and see the same warnings over and over again, which is 
why I tried fixing them. Of course, attempting to fix warnings while 
annoyed with the compiler probably isn't the best idea. It leads to things 
such as not noticing arguments being passed by reference; sorry about that. 
Fortunately, I stopped getting internal compiler errors once I switched the 
platform toolset to XP compatibility.

I looked at my patch again and realized it breaks things for non-Windows. 
Attached is a revised patch that should actually fix things.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2014.0beta1 released

[Matthew Petroff]

Windows binaries for Hugin 2014.0.0-beta1 are now available. I built a new 
toolchain from scratch, which will hopefully resolve some of the past 
issues with the 64-bit builds, but being new, it might introduce new bugs 
for both the 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. I still have to get Python working 
with it. Additionally, the installers are now digitally signed, so Windows 
won't complain about them being untrusted anymore.

Attached is a small patch for libpano13 that uses the default atanh

please commit it?

Re: [hugin-ptx] High-Quality Computational Imaging Through Simple Lenses

[Matthew Petroff]

Terry,

I modified the MATLAB script to only run their algorithm and use the 
provided motion blur blur kernel on a full size image. Here are the results 
when run on an 18MP photo I had:

Original:
http://i.imgur.com/rRwaKbc.jpg

Blurred:
http://i.imgur.com/NyGg6JN.jpg

Deconvoluted:
http://i.imgur.com/fCeOTGy.jpg

The script takes the original image, applies the blur kernel, adds Gaussian 
noise to both the blurred image and the blur kernel, and then runs the 
deconvolution. It took an hour and a half, maxing out all four cores of my 
4.2GHz Ivy Bridge processor. If you have any images you want me to test, 
I'd be happy to do so. We just need a good way to estimate an image's blur 
kernel.

Re: [hugin-ptx] High-Quality Computational Imaging Through Simple Lenses

[Matthew Petroff]

Terry,

I read the paper, and I don't think you'll be able to use your existing 
images. The technique is based on first calibrating a lens to find 
spatially varying point spread functions via a patch-based method and then 
using the known blur kernel to correct subsequent images. Without properly 
calibrated point spread functions, it won't work, and none of the downloads 
provide their calibration target or code to generate the point spread 
functions. It also only corrects for blurs inherent in the lens optics, not 
motion blurs.

Re: [hugin-ptx] High-Quality Computational Imaging Through Simple Lenses

[Matthew Petroff]

I don't think any converters will work due to the use of functions from the 
Image Processing Toolbox. I think the easiest way to run it without MATLAB 
is to write a edgetaper function for GNU Octave, which isn't exactly the 
easiest thing to do.

Re: [hugin-ptx] High-Quality Computational Imaging Through Simple Lenses

[Matthew Petroff]

It ran fine for me in MATLAB R2010a, taking about 20 minutes to process a 
384 x 288 pixel image. It's very computationally intensive. I also tried 
running it in GNU Octave, but it didn't work since Octave is missing the 
edgetaper function, among others.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2013.0rc2 released

[Matthew Petroff]

Windows binaries for Hugin 2013.0.0-rc2 are now available. For the Python
enabled builds, one needs a preexisting Python 3.2 installation.

I was a bit busy this summer working on Google Summer of Code for Inkscape, 
and
therefore did not get around to making builds for the previous release 
candidate.
In addition, I have not used Windows as my primary platform for over a year 
now,
so I do not use my own builds much anymore. While I plan on producing 
Windows
builds for the rest of this release cycle and will continue to do so if no 
one
else takes my place, it would be nice if someone who actively uses Windows 
steps
up to produce Windows builds for future release cycles.

I've sent an email to the developer requesting the PanoStitch source code. 
We'll see if he complies.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Creating 360/180 Panoramas for Google+/Picasa lightbox display

[Matthew Petroff]

It's enabled using XMP tags. Unfortunately, there's no documentation as far 
as I can find. I figured out how to add the required data to full 
equirectangular panoramas, though:

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Introducing Pannellum - an HTML5 Panorama Viewer

[Matthew Petroff]

Pannellum might support GIF files, although I've never tested it. I would 
not recommend using it though, as it is uncompressed and limited to an 
8-bit color space. Just because a proprietary piece of software does 
something some way does not make it a standard, although adaptive dynamic 
range looks quite interesting. I might add it in the future, but the image 
pyramid support I'm currently working on is a higher priority in my 
opinion. Animated objects are a very low priority for me (I think they're 
gaudy).

The most likely cause is the texture size being to large for your graphics 
card / driver. Does an error get printed to Chome's JavaScript Console?

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin 2012.0.0_rc1 released

[Matthew Petroff]

Thanks for pointing out Sysinternals Strings. While I'm familiar with 
Dependency Walker, it doesn't work on 64-bit executables on a 32-bit 
system. Strings does work, though. It seems Python didn't link properly; 
none of the other Python related strings are in the executable either. I 
built the non-Python version first and then probably failed to rebuild 
something after enabling Python with CMake. Now that I have a way to check 
if the 64-bit executable is actually linked to Python, using Strings, I'll 
be sure to check in the future.

[Matthew Petroff]

It should work as long as Python is in your system path. There's the 
possibility that there's something wrong with the build, but I don't have a 
64-bit system to test it on. There will be at least one more release 
candidate before 2012.0.0 is declared final, so if there is something wrong 
with that build, it hopefully won't manifest itself again.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Pannellum 1.2 Released

[Matthew Petroff]

Currently, Pannellum doesn't support touch events, so it isn't usable on 
touch screen devices, although I plan to add support in the next release. 
As for the iPad, iOS does not support WebGL, so Pannellum is not supported.

It wouldn't be difficult to measure FPS. I'm currently working on rewriting 
the rendering functions to improve performance and will probably add a FPS 
display so I can compare the performance.

As far as I know, there is no way to determine if a mouse or touch pad is 
being used. I went with the current control method since most web users 
should be familiar with it from web-based maps. I'm still undecided as to 
whether I want to keep it or switch to a "joystick" like control scheme.

Most mobile devices have smaller maximum texture sizes for WebGL, so 
Pannellum won't work if the image is too big (I have the same problem on my 
Android tablet). I plan on eventually adding image pyramid support to 
progressively load higher resolutions, which will address the inability to 
show loading progress as well as allow higher resolution panoramas to be 
displayed on devices that do not support large textures. In addition, I'm 
still working on touch screen controls, so at the moment, even if the image 
was displayed, one would not have been able to pan.

It was a bug. I removed what I originally had in place to prevent that 
issue in order to get the keyboard controls to work properly, forgetting 
why it was there. I fixed the bug and released a minor update.

[hugin-ptx] Pannellum 1.2 Released

[Matthew Petroff]

With a few new features, a few improvements, and a bug fix, Pannellum 1.2, 
an HTML5 panorama viewer, has been released.

New Features:
 - Added keyboard panning controls
 - Added support for a fallback URL if WebGL is not supported

Improvements:
 - Clarified load button text
 - Switched from raster to vector icons

Bug Fixes:
 - Added workaround for a, now resolved, WebKit fullscreen regression

The new release can be downloaded here:
https://bitbucket.org/mpetroff/pannellum/get/1.2.zip

For a live example of the new release (although the example does not use a 
fallback viewer), see:

Windows binaries for Hugin 2012.0.0-beta1 are now available. Unfortunately, 
they are not on SourceForge since the files I have uploaded don't seem to 
appear for some reason. For the Python enabled builds, one needs a 
preexisting Python 3.2 installation.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Introducing Pannellum - an HTML5 Panorama Viewer

[Matthew Petroff]

Currently, partial panoramas are not supported; images are assumed to
be 360x180 degrees. I have not tested it with large panoramas; the
minimum field of view is currently hard-coded (and somewhat
arbitrary), so even if a large panorama works, you won't be able to
see the full detail. Adding keyboard controls for panning is a good
idea and is something I might add in the future.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Windows Build of GUI Overhaul Branch

[Matthew Petroff]

I guess the best method would be to distribute two versions, one
without Python and one with Python. I'll look into extending the
installer to check for Python and allow the user to download and
install it if it is not already installed.

Now that you mentioned that you were using a virtual machine, I know
what caused the crash. Your virtual machine does not support the
OpenGL preview. Therefore, unless the interface is set to expert,
Hugin crashes since the new GUI uses the OpenGL preview in the main
interface.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Introducing Pannellum - an HTML5 Panorama Viewer

[Matthew Petroff]

Thanks for the reports! It should work in recent desktop versions of
Firefox and Chrome with proper driver support. Safari needs WebGL to
be manually enabled, and Opera won't support it until Opera 12. Mobile
support is much more spotty. As for the reports of a black screen, I
think it is due to buggy WebGL implementations; when I first started
working on this last year, I got the occasional black screen, but with
more recent browser updates, this is no longer the case for me.

I can certainly change the text from "Load Panorama" to "Click to Load
Panorama." As for translations, there is no client side way for
detecting language that I know of, so it's a bit of a moot point; if
one wants to host it on a page in a different language, one can just
change the strings in the hosted copy. I might consider changing the
base implementation and adding some sort of image pyramid support in
the future, but I don't plan on adding new feature or developing it
much more until WebGL support matures more.

After a year of on and off development, Pannellum, a free and open
source panorama viewer for the web, is ready for release. Built using
HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and WebGL, it is plug-in free. The
lightweight viewer, just 18kB gzipped, can be deployed using a single

panoramas in web pages as an , using code generated by the

[hugin-ptx] Re: Windows Build of GUI Overhaul Branch

[Matthew Petroff]

While I included enough of Python for Hugin to run, I did not include
enough for the Python based features to work. I also mistook
"_hsi.pyd" for a ".pyc" file and accidentally deleted it before
packaging the build. Here is a new build that includes a stripped down
Python install similar to what is included with Blender or the GIMP
(the old build only included Python32.dll). I was not able to
reproduce your instant crash on Windows XP, 7, or 8 developer preview.

The Hugin 2011.4 Windows distribution has enblend.exe and
enblend_noopenmp.exe (as well as enfuse.exe and enfuse_noopenmp.exe).
The default version, enblend.exe, has OpenMP multithreading turned on
and image_cache turned off. The other version, enblend_noopenmp.exe,
has OpenMP turned off and image_cache turned on. Setting the
enblend_noopenmp.exe version as the alternative in Hugin's preferences
will allow you to use image_cache and avoid the "out of memory"
exception but will be slower than the default version on a multi-core
machine.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Enblend bundled with Hugin no longer supports -m

[Matthew Petroff]

There should be a file called "enblend_noopenmp.exe" in the Hugin bin
directory that has OpenMP disabled and therefore has image cache. You
can either rename it "enblend.exe" or set your Hugin preferences to
use an alternative Enblend program and select that file.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Some nice big mosaics

[Matthew Petroff]

I agree that straight line CPs are extremely important. When I
stitched a large mosaic (135 images with an 8mm fisheye, ~1800 manual
CPs), I used a pre-calibrated lens and optimized position and
translation after every image [1]. At first, I started off without
using straight line CPs, and it did not turn out well; adding straight
line CPs, however, did wonders. After, I still had to do a lot of
tweaking and masking to get better alignment, but the straight line
CPs were crucial in maintaining the overall shape of the mosaic.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Creating Windows installer

[Matthew Petroff]

When you run CMake, be sure to enable "BUILD_HUGINSETUP". Open the
generated solution in MSVC and build the "BUILD_ALL" project followed
by the "INSTALL" project. Finally, build the "HuginSetup" project
which will create the installer in "/INSTALL".

The Windows binaries on SourceForge do not have Python enabled. I have
had no success in getting static Python builds to work and didn't want
to mix static and dynamic dependencies in a release build. At some
point, when I have the time, I'll either change my mind or change my
build environment to purely dynamic to include Python support.

The newer release candidates have been compiled with SSE2 enabled for
improved performance. Intel introduced SSE2 support with the Pentium 4
in 2001, and virtually every processor made in the past eight years
has support for it. The Pentium III does not have SSE2 support, and
the binaries are therefore not compatible with it.

Correct: it is a packaging issue. I currently don't have time to work
on the issue, so the release process should more along. I can,
however, build and upload a separate binary with python support to
drop into the installation that should work if a compatible version of
python is installed on the target machine.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Hugin-2011.2.0_rc3 released

[Matthew Petroff]

Hugin 2011.2.0-rc3 binaries for Windows are now available.
See sourceforge.net downloads page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2011.2_beta/

The builds are not Python enabled as I have yet to devise a method of
distribution that reliably works without a local Python install.

These builds are built my old SDK and should therefore be more stable
than the rc2 builds. I will also publish builds with my new SDK soon
for further testing.

I've tested it and can confirm that it works. When I have time, I'll
see about extending it to build the entire Windows SDK. Ideally the
version numbers should be placed into a separate file, so an "update
SDK" option can be added that fetches a list of up-to-date packages
and then updates those packages that are out of date (crude package
management).

The versions of libtiff, zlib, libpng, and libjpeg distributed with
the stable version of wxWidgets are all outdated. I've been meaning to
upgrade my build environment to use the latest stable versions of the
libraries, but I haven't had the time. I should be able to update
before the release candidate is due.

I just fixed this in Mercurial.

It never worked properly. The only version that the installer was able
to download was the unstable version, autopano-sift-c 2.5.2. The only
copies of the stable version, autopano-sift-c 2.5.1, that are
available for download are behind landing pages and thus will not work
with the installer. If I was turning autopano-sift-c off due to the
instability, I figured I would turn the rest of the external control
point generators off as well since it simplifies the install process.

After some frustration with png2ico/ImageMagick, I gave up and
scripted GIMP to generate the icons. Apparently, png2ico does not work
with 24-bit color or partial transparency/translucency. My new
solution is not perfect though, but the icons look much better. Since
GIMP does not allow one to set save options through script-fu, I
removed the 4-bit icons since they were actually saving as 8-bit. I'm
not sure why Microsoft recommended them in the first place as Windows
has had support for 8-bit icons since Windows 3.0 (released 1990). The
other issue is the lack of PNG (deflate) compression that leads to
almost three times the file size compared to the compressed icon. I
tried adding the larger PNG icon in with ImageMagick, but the software
doesn't appear to allow one to use deflate compression for anything
other than PNG. I could manually save new copies of the icons with PNG
compression or cause the script to prompt for save options, but I
think that would defeat the purpose of scripting the process in the
first place and is not worth it.

I wasn't sure where to commit the changes with the new 2010.4 branch
so I committed the changes to the trunk.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Further Artwork Cleanup

[Matthew Petroff]

Hugin builds fine with the new artwork on Windows. However, the icons
are not quite correct. The first of two issues is the fact that
Windows XP uses the low bit-depth icons instead instead of the higher
bit-depth ones; I don't have Vista or 7, so someone else needs to test
if the PNG part of the icon works. The second issue is the lack of
multiple levels of transparency. I'll boot into Linux and try to
generate working properly functioning icons by tweaking the encoding
before testing them in Windows XP.
