Hugin Part 1 - Overview and Stitching 3 Photos

[@authoritease]

Your stitching overview is terrific - super clear. Thanks so much for significantly cutting down the basic Hugin learning-curve.

[@terrischaffer643]

Thank you. You have a very nice speaking style - easy to follow. So many tutors speak too fast and fly through the material. Great job, Jamie.

[@davidfarquhar3917]

Just watched all your Hugin tutorials, thank you for posting them. The normal Hugin tutorials are good but seeing and hearing you work through these is really helpful.

Bravo, by far the best Hugin tuto, even nearly 10y latter

[@radgiegadgie1664]

Thanks, that was very well explained without going into it too deep. Added to my favourites under "Hugin tutorial 1" Thanks for your time, i look forward to trying this out!

[@FarhadFatehi]

Thank you Jamie, I really enjoyed this concise but informative introduction to Hugin. My problem is stitching photos of a 360 panorama of a square surrounded with tall buildings including an old church. Hopefully I will find some more helpful information in your other videos. Well done!

[@JamieHamelSmith]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad the video was useful to you.

Hi and thanks Jamie. When I use PhotoShop or LightRoom to stitch a panorama of the front of a long rectangular building I hope for a rectilinear image with a straight line roof. However I many times get a panorama showing an arched or curved roof line misrepresenting what the building looks like. I can correct verticals and point to point horizontals with tools in Adobe, but I can not get rid of the undesirable roof line curvature. Can this correction be done in Adobe ? If not, can it be done in Hugin and if so how ?

[@JamieHamelSmith]

Possibly. It depends on the source photos, but you may be able to simply set the output type to "Rectilinear" and add a few horizontal and vertical line control points.

[@bengtenyman]

@@JamieHamelSmith: Hi and thanks. I tried that. It appears that your answer about a mathematical limit to the total angle of view (160-180°) which can be fully linearized is at work in this case.

[@Newprospectformedia]

very nice, thanks. i need to try panorama photography, my camera is Canon 600D, so, what type of tripod, panohead & lens should i use , as someone advised me that any tripod will do the job, as for panohead NN3 MKII RD16-II Advanced Rotator and as for lens SAMYANG 8 mm f/3.5 UMC CS II fisheye lens - for Canon, so what is your opinion? thanks in advanced

[@JamieHamelSmith]

Yeah, the control point stuff goes really deep. There's a lot of stuff you can accomplish by manually placing them.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Excellent, this is the same as PTGui and works on Mac too. This makes sense as PTGui stands for 'PanoTools Graphicsal User Interface' adn PanoTools is an open source library.

[@ZorrodeLaMancha]

How can I stitch together a bunch of crappy scans of a poster sized photo when "Focal Length" & "Focal Length Multiplier" are unavailable?

[@JamieHamelSmith]

You could try making an extremely high one up. Maybe 200mm and a 2x multiplier? I’ve never tried it but that’s what I’d do.

[@carlospulido5545]

Hi, I just recently started experimenting with Hugin for my graduate research. I'm using Hugin to stitch images taken from a UAV (drone) but you mentioned that Hugin does not work well if the camera is moving (camera is attached to drone flying above an avocado grove). Can I use this program for the purposes stated above? thank you

[@JamieHamelSmith]

Yes you can, but you may get stitching errors. Remember that the error is relative. If your drone is moving at 5mph 1000 feet away, then the error might not be too bad.

[@Groosome128]

Hey, I haven't watched your other 2 videos on Hugin yet so apologies if it's covered but I'm wondering how you can tell it not to do anything about exposure except on the stitch zones. I have a panorama of the night sky from a beach that looks ok coming out of PTGUI where the colour is close to the individual images but I wanted to try the interface of Hugin for straightening the horizon and the very convenient crop feature but it seems to want to always unecessarily change the exposure/colour of the whole image to lighter. I can't work out how to tell it not to try to be too smart!

[@Groosome128]

P.S. the individual images were all taken manual on the same settings.

[@JamieHamelSmith]

I think you can uncheck "Photometric Optimization" or something similarly named.

[@royseibel511]

Excellent! More Tutorials please.

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

Very good.

[@haemse]

How did you do the zoom of the thumbnails at 1:16 in the file explorer?

[@JamieHamelSmith]

Ctrl + Mousewheel

[@MichaelHonsinger]

Awesome; thanks Jamie!

[@sergeisad2631]

Hi, Jamie! I have a problem. What to do if photos were taken distorted?

[@JamieHamelSmith]

+Sergej SadVlad sometimes you can add manual control points until they line up "good enough".

[@JamieHamelSmith]

+Jamie Hamel-Smith but generally if the camera moves laterally too much, there will be parallax errors of some sort. Adding manual control points ensures that the areas you care the most about will match the best.

[@chinkw1]

Can Hugin stitch RAW files? Or only jpg files?

[@JamieHamelSmith]

I'm pretty sure it's limited to Jpegs and Tiffs. I usually save my Raw files as Tiffs (to preserve some of the bit depth) and then run them through Hugin like that.

[@Ecihoo]

what the version this hugin.. cause mine not same as like this.

[@JamieHamelSmith]

These were recorded with version: 2012.0.0.a6e4184ad538 I believe that a newer 2013 version was released last year, but the principles should remain the same.

[@Ecihoo]

Jamie Hamel-Smith I have Kr-pano version 17 and Kr-pano v.15, that is demo version. how to get not demo version jamie ?? thanks

[@pixelkay2004]

thanks!!

[@Mr.HarryPotter]

Dec 6, 2013 Please add me to your contact. I need to ask you for help with HUGIN Panorama program. Thanks.

[@patriciamack1709]

No such thing, as a "Digital Lens"! Any lens, attached to a "Digital Camera", will produce a digital image.

[@thinkinginwork4373]

But if you use an "anlogue lens" without data transmission to the camera you won't get aperture or focal length values for your metadata
