Hugin 2009.4.0 (and earlier) CP gen. interface question

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

the cp-detector preferences are strangly structured: There is the main
dialogue, offering a choice of cp detectors.

[Edit] allows to customize to specific program invokations. That is
were the magic switch is: What does the "Autopano-SIFT / Autopano by A
Jenny" choice do? How should it be set for the non-obvious choices
(panoramic, match-n-shift, align image stack)?

I have been wondering about this since at last 0.8 but have never
bothered to ask. ;-)

I don't know exactly the difference, but would expect that it is related to the way the output is done.

This being said, here is what is configured in the latest builds for what you mentioned

Panomatic: autopano-sift

match n shift: autopano-sift

align image stack: autopano-sift

hope this helps

Nicolas is right.
To explain my probable cryptic addition. The original and still existing autopano-sift is a mono (.net in windows) "executable" which was a cross-platform "semi-compiled" program. autopano-sift-c is a complete C/C++-remake of the relatively slow autopano-sift.

And next to that: the mentioned autopano is a (by now) somewhat older program and only available for/on windows. You can use it on on Linux and OSX if your run a windows version of hugin and autopano via wine.
It has already been suggested several times to remove the option from hugin to reduce confusion, but there is still a number of devoted windows users that use autopano.

A better suggestion might be to make it a "conditional compilation" step like: If Windows { display autopano as option} else {don't display}
This shouldn't be too difficult for a programmer.

That's not fully correct. There is also a native linux version of
autopano.

Something similar is done. It works on windows and linux. On Mac,
where autopano is not available, there comes a message box, when you
choose to use autopano and switch automatically back to autopano-sift.

autopano.

I didn't know that.

You did a great job and I do not give you the credit you deserve. Shame on me.

You are right in that there are two options in the CP generator pane. I never choose autopano because I know it's not available on OSX. I now selected it on purpose and it works  just the way you describe.
Very nice.

Thank you !

Harry
