In any case, I think I'm going to take more pictures before posting them to Dropbox. My initial feeling is that, even though there is overlap, they are taken on too wide of a lens. I think that I need to shoot A LOT more pictures of smaller areas with even more overlap. Not knowing much detail of your project, that might be OK. I have seen Enblend get a bit upset with a lot of overlap, but I'm not sure just how much is too much. I suspect that you will have to experiment a bit with this project, and not just to come to grips with Hugin. Hope you are OK soon.

Hi Michael, maybe these links are interesting for you: The panotools wiki is always a good starting point... http://wiki.panotools.org/Stitching_a_photo-mosaic https://dinosaurpalaeo.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/using-hugin-part-4-mosaic-images/ http://jamie3d.com/stitching-murals-in-hugin-and-removing-obstructions Carl Michael Jackson schrieb am 26.11.13 05:23: I think you are correct. I am going to try a simple flat surface so that I can get accustomed to the program. Then I'll try the actual project as I posted here. You are also right that I overestimated the project. I had NO idea that it would be so difficult. However, by the time I actually complete this project I should definitely have a good understand of Hugin and whatever other software and/or shooting techniques I need to use. I'll let you guys know how it goes as I progress. -- 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.

Re: [hugin-ptx] Mosaic of Non-flat surface
A judicious use of masking might be something to check into. Use the overlaps to align all the images then mask out most of the overlap at left and right of each image so only the central, least distorted, part of each image ends up in the final panoramic. Might require more images with heavy overlapping.

The second wall that I have to shoot has mirrors on it!! We can worry about that little problem after we find a solution to the parallax issue and just stitching the thing together! :-) Michael -- 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.

Hello Michael, On Sun, 24 Nov 2013 21:26:24 +1100, Michael Jackson chile...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Terry! Thanks for responding. I have seen both of those tutorials. I have to admit that the one with the building is a bit daunting. I'm brand new to Hugin and I'm using the 2013 version. So I am having trouble following along. For example, I can't even find Mosaic mode. Mosaic mode is really method of shooting, and then the optimising using the translation parameters. And the more I read, the more I think I'm not setting up control points properly. I need a tutorial on how to use the control point editor. I've just been guessing. The program is HUGE. In any case, the biggest difference between those examples and what I need to do is distance from camera to subject. I only have about 4 feet between me and the shelves that I am shooting. So the parallax is enormous. OK, the short distance may cause problems. I will send samples of what I am trying to stitch. If you need me to take more shot, closer together, and with more overlap, no problem. I'm up for trying anything! Let's see what you are working with first. I will upload the files to Dropbox and send you an invite. What email address should I use for Dropbox? Just send the Dropbox link to my personal email. If you are comfortable for that link to be public, then post it here as others on the list may wish to contribute as well.

I'm using the 2013 version of Hugin and I have no idea where Mosaic mode is. I just keep reading that it might exist! :-) In any case, I'm trying to figure out how to use Hugin to create a mosaic that is NOT flat. [snip] If so, where do I start? Have you had a look at the mosaic mode tutorial at http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/Mosaic-mode/en.shtml ? I haven't tried stitching images from a non flat surface in mosaic mode, so I'm guessing a bit. I think the trick is to select control points that would represent a flat surface, if that's possible. I have sample images, that I'm trying to stitch, that I can show you if that would help. Can you provide a few (say 3 or 4) for me to download and work with...on Dropbox or similar?
