Re: [hugin-ptx] Full Dynamic Range HDRi Problems

2017-09-12 Thread HISEROD 
Ok,
 That's about what I've been doing, but I am getting noise from the 
less exposed pictures.
In the image I posted earlier its not as bad because I removed some of the 
lower exposures, but then there's those black gradients.

The script/commands posted by Greg are for creating exposure fused LDR
images which are not the "full dynamic range HDRi" images you want.

First, switch the Hugin GUI to Expert mode (Interface->Expert). Next,
import all your image files in the Photos tab. Hugin should detect
bracketed stacks and offer to link them automatically, so there's no
separate command for linking HDR exposures like in PTGui. Create control
points, optimize geometry and optimize photometry for high dynamic
range. On Stitcher tab choose High dynamic range as Panorama Output, set
other options and press "Stitch!".

Please don't post images here.  It also doesn't help: what people
would want to see are the input images and a description of how you
processed them, possibly including the .pto file.

Step back a bit, and you'll get more out of this exchange.  I don't
understand your use of @ signs, but they're out of place here, and
you've lost your context.  Let's try again:

As I said,

So it's for creating HDR images.

> But I am using Microsoft, so I guess it doesn't matter?

No, it means that the script won't work for you.  You will have more
work ahead of you.  Assuming that you don't write Microsoft scripts on
a regular basis, the easiest would be just to type in the commands.
Assuming you have three images view-1-1.jpeg, view-1-3.jpeg and
view-1-3.jpeg (what gets called FILES in the script), and you want to
create an output file view-1.jpeg (called RESULT in the script), you
could write:

   nice align_image_stack -a view-1-tmp view-1-*.jpeg
   nice enfuse -o view-1.jpeg view-1-tmp*

You'll then need to remove the -tmp files.  Of course, if you can find
a way to write a script, this will greatly simplify your life.

It would be interesting to see how you do this.  I create HDR images
on a regular basis with a script that you can find at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/src/HDR

It's relatively long, but the payload is at the end:

  nice align_image_stack -a $TMP $FILES
  nice enfuse -o $RESULT $TMP*

It should work essentially "as is" on most systems, but not Microsoft.

You mean you take a single image for the nadir?  That shouldn't be a
problem.

2017-09-09 Thread 'Brian Innes' via hugin and other free panoramic software 
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by fireflies and odd black 
gradients?


Can you share example images showing these issues? Or even share a 
sample hugin .pto file along with source images?


Regards,


Brian.

Hey,

 I've been trying my best to create HDRi's in hugin for about a 
month now, and I still have many problems. For one whenever I blend in 
the far under exposed images I get fireflies in the blended panorama, 
and whenever I remove the unnecessary ones I get odd black gradients.
 fyi my nadir shots are not exposure bracketed. (not sure if this 
is the cause of some problems or not)

 Also I should mention that I have little experience with hugin.
