Thanks Kay, I use a likewise script but then using align_image_stack from the hugin tools (and optimised the pv command with your command. Thanks). I replace the lines pto_gen -p0 -o bracket.pto "$@" pano_modify -p0 --fov=AUTO --canvas=AUTO -obracket.pto bracket.pto cpfind --sieve2size=5 -o bracket.pto bracket.pto autooptimiser -p -o bracket.pto bracket.pto pano_modify -p0 --fov=AUTO --canvas=AUTO -obracket.pto bracket.pto
(Note: I changed "pano_modify -p0 --fov=AUTO --canvas=AUTO -obracket.pto bracket.pto" to "pano_modify -p0 --fov=AUTO --canvas=AUTO -o bracket.pto bracket.pto" in the script.) with one line: align_image_stack --gpu -p bracket.pto -v "$@" when using "time pv_fuse.sh" or "time ais_pv_fuse.sh" (my align_image_stack version), it is twice as fast and with my preliminary tests I do not find differences. Next to that: I use the same script with enfuse, meaning align_image_stack followed by enfuse. Enfuse is currently faster than pv and does not entirely lock my laptop like pv does. However, the "big wait" is in the panotools. I don't care about the speed difference between pv and enfuse. Note also the max amount of memory used by pv versus align_image_stack/enfuse where ais takes the 0.98GB and enfuse approx. 500MB. All runs using the same five 9.1 megapixel bracketed images and all creating a jpg instead of an (open)exr image. Some figures: pv_fuse (using the pano tools and pv) real 2m16,020s user 6m3,251s sys 0m17,520s 3.7GB ais_pv_fuse.sh (using align_image_stack and pv) real 1m22,573s user 4m2,008s sys 0m16,343s 3.7GB enfuse.sh (using align_image_stack and enfuse) real 0m53,653s user 1m20,007s sys 0m4,532s 0.98GB Both pv and enfuse use all 4 cores in my laptop where pv, for whatever reason, almost completely blocks my laptop. I will do further tests. best, Harry -- 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.
