Hugin - Panorama photo stitcher

 

Hugin image

Goal: an easy to use cross-platform panoramic imaging tool chain based on Panorama Tools.

With hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.


 

See the Hugin homepage for this great project.

Below you will find application bundles for MacOSX. They contain universal builds and should run on all PPC and Intel based Macs as of MacOSX 10.4.

Please note that these bundles are 95% based on "the works" of Ippei Ukai. You can find his page here.

The binaries presented here are in the MAC .dmg (compressed) disk image format and some are further compressed with gzip. Once downloaded you can double-click the disk-image and it will open. You can drag the Hugin.app anywhere you like but the Applications folder is normally the most appropriate one.

In time I will publish more Hugin related binaries here, but there are other things in life too I'd like to spend my time on.

The bundles are presented on my website but are actually hosted on hugin.panotools.org. That server has a very high bandwidth which means that you gain a much higher download speed than is possible from my residential server.

Installation and use of ControlPoint generators
To be able to align and stitch seamless panoramas, hugin needs to know the corresponding locations (control points) between each overlapping pair of images. Hugin will calculate the best way to align those images using the Control Point generators. These Control Point generators are separate packages and not included inside the Hugin package.

The Control Point generators come as separate .dmg files. You open the .dmg and you will find a folder with the generator and an installer. simply double-click the installer and the CPgenerator binary will be installed in your user directory inside "Library/Application Support/Hugin/Autopano".

How to configure the ControlPoint generators inside Hugin
When you start Hugin, go to preferences and to the "Control Point Detectors" pane.

Preferences pane CP generators

Preferences pane CP generators - Edit

Here you can add CP generators (currently panomatic and/or Autopano-SIFT-C). It is now possible to create different configurations based on the same generator.

panomatic default parameters: -o %o %i

autopano-sift-c default parameters: --maxmatches %p %o %i

autopano-sift-c 120+ images: --maxmatches %p %o %s

For autopano-sift-c you might want to experiment with ransac. Don't use it for fisheye lenses. For normal lenses you might add "--ransac 1" to the parameters. Explanation of RANSAC.


Note: After you have installed one or more CP generators, you need to set one generator as "default" generator. If you forget to do this the Assistant panel does not function.

 

Older Hugin builds

Older Hugin builds can be found on the "Hugin Archive" page.
Note that the gsoc2009_layout build is also located on the Archive page as it is technically a (pre) 0.8 version build.

 

As mentioned: The binaries are hosted from hugin.panotools.org.

You can check the Hugin svn logs and browse the SVN tree for the Hugin changes.

You can check the MacOsx package logs for the changes in the MacOsx packages.
