In fact I can't see how either "implies" or "assumes" can be used in this 
context. 
*"This will also set the --use-given-order option"*  uses simple English 
and the meaning is quite clear.

OK
*But you repeat often the same phrases: assumes options or implies options 
means in this context that the corresponding option [was?] automatically 
activated/set and does not need to [be?] set manually.*

That's for 2 reasons. Because you've only just explained that clearly here, 
and because, as I wrote in a message in the other thread, I was hoping that 
the documentation would be clarified so anyone else reading the 
documentation page would be clear about what is meant - without having to 
discover and read through that thread.
There might be exceptions, but English usually needs a verb after assumes 
or implies, or it doesn't make sense. Certainly in this case they need a 
verb. For example
Implies that x *has been done*.
Assumes that z *will be done*.

Sorry, I did not check correctly. It was a mistake on my side. Take my 
excuse.

But you repeat often the same phrases: assumes options or implies options 
means in this context that the corresponding option automatically 
activated/set and does not need to set manually.

[hugin-ptx] Re: Stereo image alignment

2024-04-15 Thread Chris
 

Vladimir. I have written an app that relies on align-image-stack and your 
3D patch to it. The app is for images taken with a mobile phone or a 
camera, so they won’t be aligned properly and won’t create a 3D image 
without tedious manual alignment or preferably the use of AIS.

I have recently re-read the documentation 
https://wiki.panotools.org/Align_image_stack to try to make the most of AIS 
by using the optimum choice of settings. I found it a bit limited and 
posted some queries here https://groups.google.com/g/hugin-ptx/c/StZln-rxsGw 
with the result that it has been improved.

The Panotools 3D page https://wiki.panotools.org/Talk:Align_image_stack gives 
a statement which is clearly wrong:

*align_image_stack -i -a AIS_ -S -A -P IMG_.*

   - 
   
   - 
   
   It only names one input file.
   - 
   
   It sets both -A and -P which are contradictory. 
   
I have been using the settings you mention in your link above.

*align_image_stack -p aligned.pto -a aligned -m -i -P -C right.jpg left.jpg*

(It revealed this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/2002813 when 
using -i which caused AIS to hang when the images were blurry, it’s fixed 
now.)

I have since noticed that you have added a statement to the official page:

*align_image_stack -p out.pto -x -s 4 -P -C right.tif left.tif*

*T**he options*
*-S *Assume stereo images - allow horizontal shift of control points. Adds 
all control points as "horizontal lines". 
-A Align stereo window - assumes -S. Adds one "normal" control point that 
is the nearest point, so that everything will appear behind the display 
plane. 
-P Align stereo window with pop-out effect - assumes -S. Adds one "normal" 
control point that is the nearest point from the border areas, so that the 
center of the image may appear in front of the display plane. 

The language is a little ambiguous here - “assumes -S “ Does this mean 

-  “Assumes you have also used the –-S parameter?” If not what would 
happen? 

Or

-  “This will also set/activate/turn-on the -S option.”

-m magnification 

I don’t think the -m is relevant for my application since both L and R 
images would be taken quickly one after the other.

*-i **Optimize image center shift for all image**s*

I assume this means “Optimise matching of centre of image, or weight 
corrections towards the centre rather than the periphery. That seems 
sensible, however it might attempt to match the x axis and I don't think we 
want that ‘corrected’ as it has to be different for the 3D effect.

*-x *That seems wrong to me as I don't think we want that ‘corrected’, as 
it has to be different for the 3D effect. Why did you switch to using this?

*Optimisation phase*

States that yaw pitch and roll are optimised by default. My images are 
likely to be incorrectly matched in the y axis and in roll, so need 
correction. I don’t think they should be adjusted in the x axis or in yaw 
as they are 3D factors. Unfortunately the yaw correction can’t be switched 
off, as it is automatic and there is no parameter for it.

I am going to try align_image_stack -a output.tif -y -P -C right.tif 
left.tif

Would you like to comment on my thoughts?
