I have searched around a good bit and this is the closest topic I
could find:
"Using Hugin to register two images"
http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/browse_thread/thread/1654da4d907a0361
I have had no problem producing aligned stacks (I think the version I
am using, 2011.0.1, makes it easier.)
I use the "Align_image_stack linear" rather than the "cpfind" option
available in the images tab while making sure to uncheck the link box
for Image position, and then optimize normally.
What I am unable to do is to get the images to merge or average (what
I assume the superseded "PTaverage" command in PanoTools was for.)
Hugin wants to sew it into a panorama rather than just average the
images and stops ("excessive overlap" etc. and this is probably good,
because I don't want seams blended or exposures fused, I want
overlapping images combined.)
Is this possible? How do I do it?
WHY I AM DOING THIS- Just so you know what I think I'm doing, and why
I think is is the thing to do:
1.) Low light conditions in a museum (the Oriental Institute) that
that allows photos but only without flash or tripod.
2.) Older low res camera (Nikon Coolpix 4500) that only takes jpegs
and is fairly noisy (takes tiffs but they are not significantly better
without a tripod, while also being painfully slow, painfully large,
and cannot be taken in a burst mode to get a clearer shot.) I should
get a better camera, but can't at the moment.
3.) So my idea is to take a burst of 6-8 hand held jpegs from which I
can then select the 4 clearest ones to combine into one image with
significantly less noise and jpeg artifacts than individual jpeg or
tiff.
