hi,

i have to admit i didn't look at the patch itself yet. but in principle i can very much relate to the issue of `overstraightened' pictures, i think they look terrible. providing an easy way to do only 80% sounds very useful to me, so if we can have that without waiting a year for something else to happen i'm all for it :)

cheers,
jo

 Hi,
Hello.


This is a small patch for the "crop&rotate" module. It adds a slider to fine-tune the amount of vertical keystone correction. The slider can move from 0 (no correction, original image) to 100% (verticals are verticals).

Sometime architecture photos can look artificial if the keystone correction is fully applied. Setting the factor to 80 or 90% gives a more natural look.
Indeed, makes sense..

I've done it by translating C and D points linearly on the X axis (in
 clipping.c, function commit_params):
       float kf = (float)(p->vert_keystone_amount / 100.0);

       d->kxc = d->kxb + kf * (d->kxc - d->kxb);
       d->kxd = d->kxa + kf * (d->kxd - d->kxa);


I've also updated the legacy_params function, and the LRDT_CLIPPING_VERSION from 4 to 5. Did I miss anything and what do you think of this patch?
Some not really meaningful words:
Right now, there are 2 IOPs that do pixel interpolation - lens
correction and C&R.
This is slow[er than doing it in one step] and probably produces
slightly lower quality than 1 step would.
C&R only needs to do pixel interpolation for this perspective
correction and rotation,
just cropping can be done in without it.

So there is a push to move perspective correction [and rotation?] into
lens correction module.
New implementation algorithm will be a bit more mathematically sophisticated, and in it's current version It already does have a similar function, see:
http://sourceforge.net/p/lensfun/code/ci/a532325328117177d3cefdd7d9fcea7aafaeb805/tree/tools/perspective_control/perspective_control.py#l291
[I have CC'd tools author, Bronger]

But there is no ETA on when it will happen.

Now, C&R iop is, well, a delicate piece of code :), so we are a little
scared of touching it...
NOTE: i'm not saying that this patch is bad or that we do not want it.

So my personal suggestion would be: try that tool
[perspective_control.py], find a few issues there,
discuss it's functionality, etc.
And if you can, help rewriting it in C. I'm afraid i do not know
Python that well do be able to do it by myself.
Once that tool is in C, integration of this functionality will be much closer.

(probably that was not what you have wanted to hear, but that is my
view on the subject)


 Cheers,
 Nicolas
Roman.
