Hello, I'm quite new to hugin but so far I've generally been getting excellent results creating standard panoramas.
Recently I tried creating one of those 360 degree 'little planet' stereographic projections that you can find in the gallery on the hugin homepage. So I went out into my garden and took a 360 degree matrix of images. It took 42 images to cover the whole garden. I loaded them into hugin, created a stereographic projection and then tried to generate the image. Nona took about an hour to run but enblend needed 17 hours to complete. The resulting image was 800mp and took up 3gb of disk space (photoshop took half an hour just to open the file). So issue 1: The resulting image is unnecessarily large for my purposes and so took much longer to generate than it needed to. What is the best way of reducing the size of the final image and speeding up the process? It would also be nice to be able to generate quick (ie less than an hour) previews of images before generating the final version. I tried reducing the size of my input images but then panomatic wasn't able to find control points and a lot of resulting image groups were unconnected - it would take hours to connect them manually. I had reduced the image size to 800x 600, is this too small? Issue 2: Although the general sticth / blend of the final image was great there were some major glitches introduced by enblend in the form of lots of horizontal lines. I haven't seen this issue in any of my other panoramics. This appears to be the same issue as was seen here: http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/browse_thread/thread/94215a777d68d7fe/719c28c6d8a86276?lnk=gst&q=horizontal+lines#719c28c6d8a86276 The general conclusion in the thread seems to be that the problem is somehow related to image resolution. By the way, I'm using the 2010.1 svn.5161 build that I got from http://lemur.dreamhosters.com/hugin/. Where is the best place to get the latest windows builds from? Anyway, thanks for any help you can give, David. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
