Panorama stitcher for gimp6/7/2023 ![]() (and possibly not sharp enough), but if you have successfully created smaller panoramas, your lenses should be fine. ![]() Having said that though, you also want a lens with little vignetting, I tired doing that in Germany as well with a cheap old lens at 300mm and I just couldn't merge the images because of that. If you just want to shoot one every now and then, the best option is to buy a good old fashioned tripod head (like a Manfrotto 460MG) and then shoot an image say every 2 degrees, manually implementing the approach of the gigapan robot. If you really want to regularly shoot Gigapixel images, I don't think there is a way around getting one of those machines. However I never had just water in the image but always some other background that enabled the software to stitch it (with only tiny errors). ![]() Having said that, I managed to create an image that would be 400MP cropped (500MP uncropped with "blank spots) that included a river by just handholding in Germany. Here is an example of the SLR version of a Gigapan robot: (or maybe even two - I think a Dubai shot used two cameras on two bots) Having said that though, if you have such a structured layout, you could use Microsoft ICE just as well (as you can tell it how the images were shot). a regular one in say a 5x5 grid and then use the software that came with their robot to merge the images. Question: How do photographers usualy make rivers in gigapixel photos?Īnswer: They buy a Gigapan robot which shoots a structured panorama, i.e. If it doesn't work, maybe you could upload some pictures. Please let me know how this works out for you. Now, you should be able to manually create control points between images from the two sets. There will be two sets (ignoring 300mm for now) of connected images: The 75mm-set and the 18mm-set. Load all images, have Hugin find correspondences. This is a bit of work (auto-adjustment won't work), and then had it optimized using position and view (view is important!). I then went and manually created control points. First no Exif data and thus no v-parameter to start off with. I cropped out some details and scaled them down appropriately. Then I simulated your more extreme situation using an existing panorama and "photographed" it at different "focal lengths", i.e. Hugin could read the EXIF data and adjusted horizontal field of view (hfov, parameter v) accordingly. They were much closer than your range, though (18mm to 55mm). First, I looked for a similar situation among my existing files, I found three from the same perspective at different focal lengths.
