batch convert multiple spherical images
Posted: 28 Aug 2007 at 10:33 GMT
Hey everybody,

yesterday i have taken about 200 pictures of a building (well trainstation) with my 8mm sigma lens. Now I need them all to be rectilinear so i can use portions for textures in a Google Earth 3d model.
I can simply do this in PTGui but I dont really look forward to doing this 200 times for each photo. Is there a possible way to batch this?

Hi, is very easy to batch using nona_gui and enblend from the Hugin distribution, I don't know about PTGui.
BUT extracting a rectiliniar view from a fisheye or from an equirectangular projection depends of some factors which I think will be different from image to image, due to perspective, so I guess that you will need to process/prepare each image accordingly after all, then to save a PTscript file for each image then to batch the actual remapping.

Dick, please tell me/us more about what you are doing... Sounds interesting... What building in Google?

PTGui supports templates and also has a batch stitcher. Maybe you could use those?

To get then properly you are right, but for now i'm only interested in getting the straight lines straight. A trick i've found that works is to load a bunch of images and aplying a template for output. then creating a layered PS doc which i can then export to seperated files in PS.

We are building some models of dutch trainstations now. We did build models of Amsterdam monuments in the past
www.floris-visualisaties.nl/google-earth/index.htm For a lot of the facades we use big textures and using my 8 mm seemed a good way of avoiding a lot of stiching by getting big portions in one photo. But i guess i'll have to stick to regular photo's in the future.

A point at the folderoption is really what i was looking for. But that's just not there sad
