When I ran exiftool on them, I found the focal length (5.8 mm) but no sensor data, and I think the hfov can only be calculated if both the focal length and the sensor size (and therefore the crop factor) are known (please correct me if I'm wrong). If you are coming from rectilinear data and the output is rectilinear as well, the hfov doesn't seem to matter so much as long as it's some value near the mark, like 50 degrees here - and if you have a 360 degree panorama the software can figure the fovs out. The EXIF data also contain the rotation information - so my version of hugin set the roll angle to 90 degrees straight away.
2. yeah, stick with whatever version works. I sometimes feel it's a bit of a minefield - I download a promising version, use it for a while and stick with it if it doesn't crash too often. I even anticipate it crashing on certain operations and save the pto before I perform them, because usually it can do it just fine and has just messed up it's internal state so that the operation succeeds when you reload the saved pto and try again. Since a lot of the functionality is in separate executables, it also helps sometimes to replace some of the helper applications with other versions. 3. I hope someone will look into the issue. I'm just a fellow user, even though I sometimes feel like looking into the code myself. But that feels like an uphill struggle (quote: compiling hugin yourself is fairly extreme behaviour...) - and I'm on Windows, where things are even more complicated... with regards KFJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
