Easy Panorama Stitching with Hugin
2011-01-15 by , tagged as
Hugin is a very comfortable tool to create beautiful panorama images e. g. on your holiday snaps. It comes with an intuitive GUI. If you prefer working on the command line, I collected the necessary commands for you:
autopano-complete -o project.pto *.jpg
celeste_standalone -i project.pto -o project.pto
autooptimiser -also project.pto project.pto
nona -m TIFF_m -o project project.pto
enblend -o project.tif project????.tif
convert -trim project.tif project_cropped.png
See the PanoTools wiki for more information. I added the last line for an automatic cropping of the resulting image.
Here is a sample result I obtained for a bunch of images taken at the Willis Tower in Chicago, Illinois and from a roof terrace in Istanbul, Turkey:
Update: Note on focal length multiplier
- You need to know the ratio between the size of the CCD sensor in your camera and the size of a typical 35 mm film frame
- or modify the multiplier until HFOV fits the angle computed from focal length, number of pixels and pixel size (e. g. for my iPhone 3GS: 3.85 mm, 2048 px, 0.00175 mm/px).
