[Where is the best/least annoying place to post feature requests for Hugin?]
I use hugin to align stacks of images before I run a gmic image averaging (median function) on them. It works great, but my images sometimes have many moving components in the foreground (tree branches and so forth, blowing in the wind) and I want to align the images based on just a few small parts of the image backgrounds, so I need to constrain where control points are generated. I can use masks to get this done, but there are a few GUI issues that make it pretty slow, so I wanted to suggest a few (hopefully simple?) changes: 1) a new mask type specifically for CP constraining. I can use "Exclude region" and "exclude region from all images of this lens" to prevent CPs from being generated, and it works great, but I can't do the opposite. Ideally this new mask would be something like "constrain CPs to this region"; multiple such regions would allow CPs in all of them, and everything outside of them would not get CPs. (If "permit" and "exclude" overlap, one could be chosen to override.) Without this feature, the result is that I often have to make several overlapping masks to effectively block out everything except a few small areas. The ability to just circle a few features that I know are stable and tell hugin to look for CPs in those regions would be fantastic. 2) a command to remove all masks from all images. Recently I was aligning 20 images, and had to generate 7 masks for each, which was 140 masks, each requiring 2 clicks to remove. (I have to remove all masks before outputting the remapped/aligned images.) 3) the ability to select/copy/paste/delete multiple masks at once on a given image. This would make the creation of the 140 masks a lot easier to manage. Thanks for considering! And let me know if some of this already exists and I'm just unaware. -c -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
