0001 NOTE: this tool was originally developed during the GoSC2011.

0003 -- Dependencies --
0004 
0005  * Various tools from the hugin project (development is based on version 2011.0, FIXME: may work with earlier versions).
0006  * Enblend
0007 
0008 -- Data Input --
0009 
0010 This tool takes several images taken from the same point of view, either RAW images, TIFF images or JPEG images.
0011 
0012 Throughout the process, project files (i.e. dot pto files) are analyzed and modified with GNU Flex and GNU Bison.
0013 
0014 -- Processing --
0015 
0016 The panorama workflow is the following:
0017 
0018  1) RAW images are converted to TIFF images
0019  2) A pto file (hugin project file) is generated with parameters to be optimized
0020  3) Control points are calculated to match overlaps between images (using cpfind from the hugin project)
0021  4) Then C.P. that are clearly wrong matches are deleted (using cpclean from the hugin project)
0022  5) Optimization of positions and photometric parameters are performed (using autooptimise from the hugin project)
0023  6) A Makefile which will perform the stitching is generated (using pto2mk from the hugin project)
0024  7) The Makefile is run (uses nona from the hugin project, and enblend)
0025 
0026 All images are supposed to be taken from the same point of view, and with the same camera and lens.
