-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Panotools::Script is a perl module for reading/writing and manipulating hugin .pto project files, this 0.25 release fixes some bugs, adds some features, and introduces some experimental tools:
- - lens-submit is a simple tool that reads a Hugin .pto project, finds the first 'lens', gathers some lens and EXIF data, and submits it via HTTP to a collecting server. The idea is that with enough information it may be possible to automatically generate a database of lens correction parameters. To test this idea you are encouraged to run this tool on any or all existing Hugin projects. The raw data collected so far is here: http://bugbear.postle.net/lens.log (will be updated weekly until a permanent home is found). - - gigatile is a command-line tool with the same interface as pto2mk. Whereas instead of creating instructions for rendering a single panoramic image, the project is split into a pyramid of JPEG tiles, which are linked using a HTML file for display in a web-browser. A not so great example, this is 1.6 gigapixels: http://bugbear.postle.net/~bruno/photos/DSCN0879-DSCN1050/ This approach has some notable disadvantages: primarily that blended seams that cross tile boundaries don't line up - So only static scenes are practical without visible artefacts. However it is probably good enough for a lot of purposes. The advantage is that it is very scalable, there isn't any practical limit on the size of the panorama and rendering time can be reduced simply by adding more processors. The other two new tools are helpers for gigatile: - - entile - gigatile renders a panorama into 4096x4096 TIFF squares, it then uses this entile tool to split them up into a pyramid of 256x256 JPEG files. entile is slow and uses far too much memory, it could usefully be rewritten in C/C++ using vigra or some other image library. - - gmaptemplate - HTML template for viewing tiled images. This tool creates a simple HTML page that uses the Google Maps API to display a panorama rendered with gigatile (contributions to replace this with openstreetmap or some other free solution welcome). A Panotools::Script tarball will be available on CPAN soon: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Panotools-Script/ 0.25 changes: new tool: entile - splits images into google-maps style tiles. new tool: gmapteplate - HTML template for viewing tiles images with Google Maps API. new tool: gigatile - crude stitching of very large panoramas. new tool: lens-submit - collect lens and EXIF data. bugfix: pafextract was miscalculating FoV (Pablo d'Angelo). feature: match-n-shift now calculates panorama pixel size. feature: match-n-shift now populates white balance from EXIF data. feature: support new Mask 'k' line in Hugin 2010.1.0. feature: gigastart now has an 'images' target. feature: ptofill --ignoregroups options to force matching between unconnected groups.
