i recently got a pano head (a nodal ninja) and i'm having all sorts of trouble with seams in my panos. i have simplified my image set in an attempt to isolate the problem, not that i think i have the problem identified i'm not sure how to fix it.
i took a set of photos to make a 360x180 of my living room. the photos were taken at a focal length of 24mm, 30 degree steps around the vertical axis and 30 degrees around the horizontal, for a total of 60 images. when stitching the entire set i was getting a lot of misalignment and seams in the full 360x180 pano. i tried to fix this by working with the control points, but ended up going in circles (quite literally!). i then decided to look at only the 12 images that make up the 'level' cylindrical pano. when adding control points, i noticed i was having the same problem, but less pronounced. my next step was to delete all control points between the first and last images in the 12 image set. this produced a perfectly aligned set of 12 images, however the first and last images were obviously not aligned and major errors were present between those two images. if control points are created between these two images, the seams re- appear between previously 'perfectly' aligned images. the seams have proven very difficult to minimize, let alone remove entirely. i have carefully found the nodal point for the lens i am using and can't see any visible parallax across the images. i am using 16-bit tiffs from ufraw, they are pretty big (about 73 megs each, 810 megs for all 12), so its might not be feasible to post them. i can re- process them as 8-bit (about 400 megs for all 12). i'm using hugin 0.8 and autopano-sift-c from svn. is this normal? am i doing something wrong or missing a step? thanks for any help! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
