Hi Zhe,

As far as I am aware, the Sigma 8mm f/3.5 is an equi-angular (-vta) lens, and the Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 is an equi-solid angle (-???) lens. I am having trouble finding a source from Sigma right now, but Cauwerts, Bodart and Deneyer's paper <http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1582/LEUKOS.2012.08.03.002> says so.

That said, if you do end up with an equi-solidangle image, I have a python script that converts equi-solid angle to equi-angle for each source jpeg while maintaining the EXIF data. I used this to convert equi-solidangle images from my Canon 8-15mm fisheye lenses.

Best,
Alstan

Hi Zhe,

You should be able to apply the fisheye_corr.cal file I gave you earlier to 
correct the distortion and make it an angular fisheye image that pinterp works 
with.  (Why you need pinterp, I am not sure.)  The command is as suggested in 
the fisheye_corr.cal file itself:

        pcomb -f fisheye_corr.cal -o fisheye.hdr \
                | getinfo -a "VIEW= -vta -vh 180 -vv 180" \
                > corrected.hdr

This will also crop the area outside of 180° to black, assuming that is what 
you want.  It assumes that you have already cropped the image to a minimum 
square area.  You should apply vignetting correction and absolute calibration 
first.

Cheers,
-Greg

Dear list:
I am trying to compare HDR images and simulated luminance maps. Since I use 
SIGMA 8mm 1:3.5 for Canon, I need to convert equisolid-angular to equiangular 
project. I see very useful information from the post below:

https://www.radiance-online.org:447/pipermail/radiance-general/2015-August/011184.html

However, I still have some questions need to figure out.
1) pinterp does not include equisolid-angular projection, so a equation needs 
to be applied to the function. Greg mentioned this simple expression, 
sin(theta)/theta, but I am still confused. Could anyone offer me the command?

2) The post discussed the steps of processing HDR images. If I get it right, the steps 
following "adjust exposure" are vignetting correction, adding view information, 
converting project from equisolidangular to equiangular, then calibrating the image. I 
use a GOSSEN Starlite 2 to record the luminance value on a grey card for calibration. My 
question is, should I calibrate the image before or after converting fisheye projection?

Any suggestions or explanation would be appreciated.
Zhe
