Thanks a lot for you kind replies ! This is very encouraging ! So let me describe what I am up to. I want to do an automatic (industrial) project (supposedly Rust software on an appropriate powerful Linux box). At one point I have a folder with some 4000 pictures shot by an automatic apparatus. They are arranged in a grid of (e.g.) 4 * 1000 (each picture about 3000*2000 pixels) The location in the grid supposedly is very exactly known, but not perfect. Maybe 50 pixel and/or 1/2 degree "Jitter". They are shot completely planar and all in exactly the same distance from a plane holding the motive (but maybe some wide-angle distortion) They will overlap by - say - 200 pixels in each direction. They will show rather sharp contours (e.g. pencil lines) It is essential that the result is a rectangle that is perfectly aligned with the average angle of the components. I found that it would be good to first stitch the many rows of four each, and then stitch the column of the about 1000 resulting rectangles. I found that I should create "PTO" files with my software and start Hugin with those.
Is this a viable ways to go ? Should the (possible) wide range distortion be eliminated by some other software before feeding the pictures to Hudin, or can Hudin easily do this on the fly ? I was told the process should take about 15 Minutes on a - say - 12 Core CPU with enough RAM and fast SSD. Thanks again for any advice ! -Michael On Thursday, February 19, 2026 at 3:41:02 PM UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > There's also a python API, that hasn't had much attention recently but > worked last time I looked, it doesn't have all Hugin functionality. > > Bruno > > On Thu, 19 Feb 2026, 13:09 Michael Schnell wrote: > >> >> (How) is it possible to call Hugin with a set of pictures (plus geometry >> specifications) in order to create a single "stitched" panorama picture, >> from a user program (in Python or Rust) running on a headless Linux system >> ? >> > -- 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.
