#PHOTOSTITCHER VERSUS HUGIN FULL#

The following options determine which kind of image is created, and allow keeping the intermediate images created during the process. Hugin can output 'normal' stitched images, exposure fused images or high dynamic range ( HDR) images. This is the same function as the Autocrop button in the Fast Preview window. The Fit Crop to Images button will automatically determine a crop that has a maximum number of pixels and no empty space. The cropped-out areas are shown darkened in the Preview window. Large 'gigapixel' style panoramas can be stitched in sections then blended later.When correcting perspective large areas of the panorama output will be empty anyway.The crop settings allow just a portion of the panorama to be stitched, there are various reasons to do this: Small images, it is better to create an Optimal Size image in hugin and downsize it later in an image editor such as GIMP.

Than about half the size of the Optimal Size will show aliasing artefacts. Note that the interpolation used by hugin doesn't handle downsampling very well, so output images smaller

Have a pixel size of 3500 x 2480, a full screen spherical Equirectangular Projection image will have pixelĭimensions of 6000 x 3000 or greater and a gigapixel image has a pixel size of 32768 x 32768. Some examples: a three megapixel image has pixel dimensions of 2048 x 1536, an A4 print at 300 pixels per inch will Calculate Optimal Size will estimateĪ size that has about the same resolution as your input images. Set the width and height of your output panorama in pixels. Transverse Mercator has to be less than 180 degrees horizontally.Mercator has to be less than 180 degrees vertically.Stereographic has to be less than 360 degrees both vertically and horizontally.Panoramic (cylindrical) has to be less than 180 degrees vertically.Rectilinear has to be less than 180 degrees both vertically and horizontally.Note that some Projections have a limited field of view, notably: Hugin Preview window does the same thing. Output to fit the arrangement of the input images - The Fit button in the This is the horizontal and vertical angle of view of the output image,Ĭlicking Calculate Field of View will shrink or enlarge the field of view of the The projection is called after Michel Thoby who was able to empirically find it. Thoby Projection, is modeling the 10.5 mm Nikkor fisheye lens and was introduced with hugin 2011.0.0.Sinusoidal, an equal area projection of an entire spherical scene.Trans Mercator, a mercator image rotated 90 degrees, suitable for displaying tall or overhead objects.A good projection for printing a 360 degree panorama. Mercator, a conformal cylindrical image.Objects in a stereographic image keep the same shape and show less distortion than simple fisheye. Stereographic, a conformal fisheye image.Better for representing a wide Field of View than rectilinear, but in many cases Stereographic Projection gives less distortion than simple fisheye. Fisheye, the same projection as a photo taken with a fisheye lens.

It covers 360 degrees horizontally as well as the zenith and nadir.

Equirectangular, the all purpose format for representing an entire spherical scene.

A good projection for printing a 360 degree panorama, though you may prefer Mercator Projection.

Cylindrical, actually a simple Cylindrical Projection as used by traditional rotating panoramic cameras.

Use this if you are just stitching a handful of photographs together with a narrow Field of View or correcting perspective in a single shot.

Rectilinear, this is the same projection as a photo taken with a 'normal' camera and lens.

To choose from, each with different advantages and disadvantages: Here you can set the output Projection of your project, there are lots The rest of hugin is all about setting up the project and aligning images, the Stitcher tab is where
