More fun with Panos6:22:34 PM
Since writing the article in
the Luminous Landscape, I've run across Max Lyon's forums covering
all things pano. Cool stuff I've discovered or been alerted to:
-
A really sweet cheap DIY
pano tripod head using 8020 aluminum extrusion stock. I built one of these
last week and it works great!
-
Autopano -- a helper to automatically
find the control points for panotools. PTAssembler can be set up to call this
directly.
-
Enblend -- a tool to
automatically do the blending between images based on the spatial frequency of the
image at the seam.
-
Hugin -- a free (as in speech) appliaction
for driving PanoTools. There is also an experimental replacement for PanoTools
called nona. I haven't played with this yet but it is interesting to see this
stuff develop. If this weren't GPL'd and similar to my real job, I'd love to
get involved and write some code.
-
nGallery -- I installed this on an ASP.Net
server and I'll be posting some new pictures soon. It was super easy to get
up and running and looks configurable. This is something that I could get
involved in and write some code.
Hopefully I'll have some example panos put together using the new setup soon.
