Hi Everybody, Just thought you might enjoy this http://www.360cities.net/gigapixel/strahov-library.html It wasn't made with Hugin though. Maybe when I can get cpfind to reduce images to a specified pixel size ;-))) seriously though, I would like to make one of the next ones using hugin,

Awesome! I for one am happy to hear that someone is interested in working on vertical line detection. I review tons of panos (stitched by hundreds of people all over the world) every day, and lots of them are not level. This task is currently quite difficult and non-intuitive for people, and it

Hi Kay, I like the idea, but it seems overly complex (and expensive) to me, to be honest. And won't work in cases when the FOV is unknown. My idea is much, much more simple. Couldn't we start with my idea? ;-) Or, if I convinced someone (say one of my colleagues who is a competent programmer)

Agree, RAW input for stitching is a bad idea. At the very least you want to set white balance on your raw images (although it's true hugin can fix white balance, this is not ideal) Even if Hugin did have raw input, it would simply use dcraw for this most probably. I'm not in favor of adding thi
