Hugin + autopano how to make them work together?
Posted: 15 Mar 2008 at 21:17 GMT
Hi Guys,

I have downloaded the latest version of Hugin and also the Autopano-sift. However I got errors when I try to stitch the photos.
I was looking for some tutorials on how to use these two together but I can not find them.
What should I do to start using them together?
Thanks

Ok ,

think I got it. Let me tell you what I did:

1.Load the images in Autopano-Sift. Actually dropped on the shortcut. It starts the comand screen and the calculation. Finally creates a .pto file.

2. Open the .pto file with Hugin and played with the panorama in Hugin.

3.Click on create panorama which asks for enblend. Browse to enblend.exe and started another black calculating screen.

4. Enblend creates a .tif file which SURPRISE is a big nothing, a white canvas if I open it with Photoshop.


So...what did I do wrong?

I assume you're using Windows.

Get the development version from panospace.wordpress.com/downloads/
and it will most likely solve your problems.

better chances to get an answer to your questions on groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx

I'm not a regular here, further questions here may or may not be answered.

Laszlo, Autopano-Sift can be used instead of Autopano if you select it in the Preferences. I'm not a Hugin expert, and I wasn't able to get anything sensible out of Hugin when I first tried the V0.7beta4 release a year ago. Trying again this morning, the control points were assigned ok and the optimization worked too, but like you I got a mostly white output image. I tried both nona and PTStitcher and got the same result with each. V0.6.1 works more reliably so you might like to try that unless you need features new in 0.7beta4.

Yuv,
I tried What you sugested.But the sticehed preview of the panorama was looking something like a blown out negative image.
