PanoTools NG:
3 rows -- 8 images each -- what's the easy way?
Ken Warner 2008-Nov-23 03:22:58
Because of my limited budget, I'm using a compact camera
with a .76 wide angle adapter. I shoot 8 around and have
sufficent overlap. I shoot three rows -- top, middle, bottom
8 images each row.
To stitch, I auto generate CP's for each row then go back
and make CP's by hand to join each image in the top row to the
top of the middle and the bottom of the middle to the top
of the bottom -- follow me so far :-)
It works ok but is tedious. I'm using Hugin (budget photographer)
and it stitches fine -- other than my massive parallax errors
which are a whole other topic.
Is there a better way to generate the CP's to join the
three rows together. I tried to auto generate CP's two images
at a time but I couldn't quite get that to work. I may try
that again.
I set the pitch to be 60; 0; -60 respectively for the images
in the top, middle and bottom. I didn't set the yaw. Is
there a way to set the yaw automatically for each image in
each row and would that help? I'm just wondering if generating
the CP's to join rows is the only way to do it.
I'm using an NN3 so I'm close to the nodal point and it's
all leveled well enough. Compact cameras just aren't made
precise enough. My lens wobbles for one thing and it's not
clear that the lens and sensor are lined up well. But thats
another story.
