jacksparrow Posted January 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2007 Hi, that is a nice picture... I'm interested in the stiching process, which software did you use? also... there are a million people there, did you remove duplicates or had to patch in the edges?... also... where is Wally?????

stuny Posted January 20, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 20, 2007 Doc - The color one is superb, but for me the toned B&W is missing too much of the vivacity of the color. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjon Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted January 20, 2007 Hi, that is a nice picture... I'm interested in the stiching process, which software did you use? also... there are a million people there, did you remove duplicates or had to patch in the edges?... also... where is Wally????? Thanks and thanks Stuart. I too prefer the colour version but was interested to get other people's views. I have tried several stichers but the one that I find the most powerful is called "Autopano" - http://autopano.kolor.com/. It makes use of the usual open source algorithms but also incorporates a piece of software called, 'Smartblend' which is very clever and is able to identify and remove duplicate objects - not everytime but most of the time. I could wax on about other very smart features of 'Autopano' but I won't - my favourite is the way you can develop control points by masking common areas between two images, rather than the usual method of picking a single point and then marking the same point on the paired image - a tedious and tricky exercise. Of course, it will find common points for you but difficult images need a bit of manual help. I think I am waxing. Other programmes which are also based on the same core stiching algorithms are 'Calico' and 'PTMac' or 'PTGui'. Who is Wally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter41951 Posted January 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2007 Wow! I like them both. Terrific shot. Wally is a cartoon character whom you have to find in a huge crowd. Also known as "Where's Waldo?". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also known as "Where's Waldo?". Oh him, he's hiding behind the third pillar on the left. Glad you liked the pictures; thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksparrow Posted January 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the information. I knew the program "Hugin" but will try those you say. I also like the color version more than monochrome. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the program "Hugin" but will try those you say.I also like the color version more than monochrome. cheers No problem; glad to assist. PTHugin shares some of the underlying algorithms as the other programmes; but it lacks some of the user-interface and other features of Autopano. The 'Panotools' suite of plugins is also a common theme for many of these packages. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
