Really, it should be quite simple. A sensor from a scanner should do the trick, use any old wide angle lens and have the scanner's sensor in the focal plane - there you go it's a line camera. The problem is that only very few people can actually go ahead and do such a thing - microelectronics has given us great things to do, but it's made it hard to do some good old tinkering... and the ones who do the tinkering probably charge you at least an arm and a leg > That PanoScan is cool (much like certain film panoramic cameras of the > past, only digital.) Panoscan don't even give a price on their site but ask you to contact them for pricing... doesn't bode well. > But I'm thinking one could do this with standard equipment we all > already own. This is why we now try and coerce 2D hardware to do a 1D job. By the way, we had this discussion before - hang on, I'll try anf find the thread - here it is http://groups.google.com/group/hugin-ptx/browse_thread/thread/d6f0e200ebe79f86# Kay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
