i have been experimenting with creating hdr exr images from hugin. i have tried this a couple ways and so far the images that were output are very bad, filled with off colored pixels and noise that doesn't appear in the ldr output. is this a known issue or is there perhaps something wrong with my workflow, images, or installation of hugin and/ or libraries?
my workflow is the following: 1) process images as 8bit, usually using only one image from each bracketed set (1/3 of the entire image set), as tif 2) import 8bit tif files to hugin 3) generate control points, clean, optimize and stitch until i am happy with the ouput 4) generate 16bit tifs for all images (-, 0 and + ev) 5) copy my pto file from hugin to a new directory where the 16bit tifs were written and open 6) import the additional images (usually the - and + ev shots) and use align_image_stack or, lately with the svn version of hugin, set the stack # correctly for each stack of images 7) check the preview window 8) stitch as hdr and write output to an exr file. when i open the exr file it is very bad quality. the ldr output from my initial alignment and setup is much better (regardless of tonemapping, etc...). the noise i am seeing is not present in the individual photos. i am using hugin from svn and enblend 4.0 on gentoo 64 bit. happy to put some samples on flickr or picasa to illustrate what is happening. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
