A little followup that is worth noting is that Axel Jacobs measured the Sigma 4.5mm and found it to have an equi-solid angle projection. See his presentation here: https://www.radiance-online.org/community/workshops/2012-copenhagen/Day2/Jacobs/Jacobs-AJ09-HDR_Radiance_WS-2012.pdf

Hi Tobias,

I just purchased a pair of Sigma 8mm f/3.5's for my work, but I haven't measured them for vignetting and angular verification yet. It is on my to do list :). I will be disappointed if they are equi-solid angular however. Will let you know sometime after the Lunar new year.

Hi Alstan,

I'm not sure if your below description is correct.

In my experience it's exactly the opposite. The Sigma f=8mm F/3.5 lens is an equi-solid angle (-vth) and the Sigma f=4.5mm F/2.8 is an equi-distant (-angular) (-vta) lens.

Can you please double-check that issue for me?

Cheers

Tobias

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
