hugin-panorama

Overview

This repository is used for batch generation of panoramic images using Hugin. The advantage is that it directly utilizes the built-in features of the software, without requiring in-depth understanding of the underlying principles, providing a user-friendly panoramic stitching experience.

Input dual-fisheye images:

FrontFisheye	BackFisheye

For the above input dual-fisheye images, import all images into the Hugin stitching software, select matching control points, make necessary parameter adjustments, and output the configuration file back00538_front00538.pto. Then, you can use the script panoStitchingUsingTemplate.py to produce the following panoramic image.

360 panorama

Getting Started

1. Open the Hugin desktop software (available for Windows, Linux, and Mac) to automatically detect and select control points for dual fisheye images, aligning them (i.e., optimizing the stitching within the software). Use the built-in OpenGL to preview the panoramic effect;

2. Save the project as *.pto to your current working directory;
3. For example,on linux platform, mainly using the nona command for image mapX, mapY mapping, and the enblend command for blending stitching;
4. Call panoStitchingUsingTemplate.py or panoStitchingUsingTemplate.sh to execute the batch panorama stitching.

For post-processing of panoramas, you can refer to panorama360Studio or use it for other purposes.
