Is it possible to get Hugin to prioritize images with higher detail/sharpness when stitching?
I recently started doing photomicrographic panoramas using a reversed lens setup and a 3-axis stage. Overall, my results are good, I have adequate resolution into the 5μm range. Initially I tried to use CaptureOne to merge my photos to a DNG but I ran into its upper size limit (715mp) and I'm working with Hugin now for the larger ones. I have learned how to get excellent alignment, clean up bad points, optimize, and output to bigtiff/non-ZFW compression so that I don't exceed the 4gb TIF file limit. After all that, I finally have an image I can view in Photoshop and while the stitch looks clean, I can tell that Hugin is not prioritizing images with greater sharpness because I must've shifted something during the set and some images are a little out of focus. I have looked and can't find any option in the GUI to get Hugin to prioritize sharper images. I found some potentially out of date references to setting contrast or entropy weighting, but particularly for entropy, I am not quite sure what it does. Would one of those or another option achieve the result I want? Or is there a way to have Hugin treat it is a focus stack+panorama so it will prioritize the photo of greatest detail? Any help would be great! I will also be trying these options myself, but with each run taking around 1hr to complete, it will be slow going (hence taking the time to ask for help!) -- 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.
