Hi Habi, I can reproduce the problem. Both on my macbook as well as my ubuntu server.
I first renamed them to p001.png - p166.png [1] and moved them to /tmp, to see whether the command line length could be a problem. It's not that: not on osx and neither on ubuntu. I think it has to do with the number of images (parameters) that hugin needs to parse to the autopano control. If I run panomatic from the command line with your 166 images like "panomatic -o habi.pto *.png", it works fine (it takes long, but it works fine). I assume the variable for the parameters (that holds the images) is dimensioned to small. The value of a maximum of 128 (4bits) parameters, automatically comes to mind. "(system command) panomatic -o %o %i", where "(system command) panomatic -o o%" are the first four parameters, leaving room for 127 -4 =123 prameters (=123 images). I did a quick of the source code but I'm such a lousy C++ programmer that I couldn't find it. Can you file a bug (or feature request) for it? I'm not sure whether this can be expanded to say 256 or 1024 or ... Harry [1]: I wrote a automatic finder extension for that one about 1½ year ago to easily rename large sets of photo's. Select a whole set of photos, right-click and specify a prefix. Maybe I should post it here? 2009/4/10 Habi <[email protected]> > > hey all. > > i have a follow-up on the old thread "YouTube Video to Panoramic" [1]: > > today while skiing i was a bit bummed that i forgot my camera at home, > since the weather would have been perfect to shoot some mountain- > panoramas. nonetheless i've managed to shoot two panoramas which > turned out nicer than expected, with my phone and from a movie. > i've extracted the image sequence of the movies i've shot while > panning the nice scenery, and took a wild guess about the HFOV, > stitched the slices with hugin and was quite surprised how good the > panoramas turned out. if you'd like to see how it all was done, i've > explained it here: > http://habi.gna.ch/2009/04/10/panoramas-from-low-quality-movies/ > > in the process of generating these panoramas i also stumbled over > something quite unexpected and wanted to ask here if this has happened > to somebody else. maybe we can narrow it down so i can file a correct > bug-report or note an error on my side. > > when i've added all images from the movie to hugin (0.8.0-RC3 by Harry > on OS X 10.5.6) i got quite a weird behaviour: > trying to generate control points for all the images of the first > movie [2] didn't work, hugin complained that i couldn't execute (any) > of the feature matching scripts [3], which normally work like a charm. > weird, but on thinking a bit more i thought it wouldn't be a good idea > to stitch 166 images anyway. so in the end i resorted to stitching the > panoramas using only 20 or 32 images from the movies, which worked > well, as seen above. > > on further inspection i stumbled over even more weirdness: reducing > the amount of imaged didn't really help until down to 124 images. in > this case standard OS X "fail"-dialo popped up [4], but hugin didn't > quit and worked on [also 4], or more precisely didn't do anything at > all. reducing the amount of images to 123 resulted in an almost > instantaneous crash of hugin, after pressing the "Create control > points button". i suspect an "overflow" with some internal counter but > would never be able to find anything in the code. i also suspect that > trying to stitch a panorama with more than 122 images was never > intended. > > BTW: using 122 images works well and creates + 41000 control points > after about 15 minutes of searching.
