hugin-2009.4 win32 (cygming) build available - please test

[Ryan Johnson-8]

Hi all,

hugin-2009.4.0-rc2-win32-cygming-bin.zip is now available at
ftp://hugin.panotools.org/public_html/testing/hugin/. It works out of
the box -- just unzip and run hugin/bin/hugin.exe -- and there are no
dependencies on either cygwin or the location it unzips to.

In addition, autopano-sift-C-2.5.1_rc2-win32-cygming-bin.zip is
available for people who aren't troubled by patent issues. Just unzip
it to the same directory that the hugin-*.zip went to and hugin should
be able to use it (it's not a stand-alone executable and shares the
same directory hierarchy).

Finally, hugin-2009.4.0_rc2-win32-cygming-build.tar.gz contains the
master Makefile and patches which were used to build and package hugin/
autopano.

It would be interesting if people with "real" workflows could try it
out and see (a) whether it really works and (b) how it compares to the
MSVC version -- I my biggest panorama only has like seven photos in
it, and I don't usually play with multiple lenses or stacks.

The uploaded version uses
- hugin-2009.4.0_rc2
- enblend-enfuse-3.2
- libpano13-2.9.15_beta3
- autopano-sift-C-2.5.1_rc2

I'm willing to try other versions as appropriate, but wanted to close
the loop first (in particular, enblend-4.0 sounds like it needs some
integration work still).

Regards,
Ryan

One quick addendum: I just figured out that you have to enable GPU
stitching explicitly... and it fails on my machine, reporting that a
bunch of shaders are missing (GL_ARB_fragment_shader, etc). I suspect
that it's just my laptop's underpowered graphics card, but it would be
good for somebody with a decent GPU to verify that GPU stitching
works.

GPU-assisted preview seems to work fine for me -- enabling
photometrics in 0.8 overwhelms my machine, and other than a brief
spike to get it started, 2009.4 doesn't use any CPU as I drag the
image around and change crop settings.

Ryan

Hello Ryan
As a regular reader of this groupI tried to download your version and
autopano SIFT, but I don't have access to the FTP server.
Need a user name and password for getting access?
How can I get that?

Kind regards,
Henk Tijdink

http://hugin.panotools.org/testing/hugin/

the ftp URL is only for those uploading. and it would be good if FTP
would be replaced by SFTP, SCP, or rsync over SSH.

That's a very good question... I had assumed it would either be world-
readable or available through http, but I guess not.

Hi Ryan,

I am still working through my test case, but one observed issue so far
is that the interface is in English even when I select Traditional
Chinese.  I am running this out of the directory where I unzipped it
to, so maybe this is part of the issue.

Regards,
Rick

Hi Ryan,

I have finished running the first test case for hugin-2009.4.0_rc2-
win32-cygming-bin.zip.

Platform: Windows Vista 64bit on an i7 with 12GB memory and an ATI
Radeon HD 4800 series graphics card.

Project: 31 image 360x180 equirectangular projection aligned with
7,129 control points.  No exposure bracketing in this project.

Observations:
GUI - Looks good.  Only concern found is it is in English even when
Chinese is selected.
Load images - No issues
Add Control Points - I used Autopano-sift-c with "--maxdim 4000 --
projection %f,%v --maxmatches %p %o %i" arguments.  It worked fine and
added as many control points as 2009.2 (Allard's build).  I found a
previous build of 2009.4 did not generate any control points when --
maxdim 4000 is specified, but this build doesn't have the issue/
Align - No problem
Fine Tune All control points - No issues
Control Point table - No problem, I removed bad control points with no
issues
Optimizer - No problems for position and everything
Exposure - No issues with Low Dynamic range 1000 points per image.
Stitching - Used Calculate Optimal Size -> 15,288 x 7,559.  Problems
in stitching a "Blended Panorama" for both with and without GPU:
   Without GPU - Out of memory error even with the arguments: -m 2000 -
b 4000
   With GPU - No errors, but during enblend most images were indicated
as redundant and not included in final image.  Final image was a large
file with the dimensions specified in "Calculate Optimal Size", but
was transparent except for an area the size and shape of the image
anchored for position.  The area was the same size as that component
image, but it had other images blended incorrectly into it.

Let me know if you need any other details,

Regards,
Rick

[Ryan Johnson-8]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for putting the build through its paces!

Now it's time for my ignorance to show through a bit :)

Re i18n: My system "Cannot set locale to language Chinese
(Traditional)" but Spanish and French work just fine (somebody did a
good job on those languages, BTW!). Did you get an error or did it
just silently ignore your language choice? Anyway, none of the Asian
languages I tried worked, and I just figured out that wxWidgets was
built without Unicode support, which would make life difficult for non-
latin charsets (I wonder why it defaults to unicode off?). I'll try
creating a new build with unicode support baked in.

Re OoM: I built enblend-enfuse with image cache enabled (well, the
configure script said so, at least... no way to query the binary
afaik). On my machine the cache (in hugin's preferences) defaults to a
piddling 256MB, though, which would probably cause problems for a
workflow as large as yours -- can you try bumping it up to something
more reasonable? (afaik -b only sets the block size of the image
cache, which is probably independent of its size) (How does that cache
size default get set, anyway?)

Re GPU: Unfortunately I don't have a access to a good enough GPU to
even explore this issue, but how general is the problem? It doesn't
seem to affect linux users, but what about the MSVC port of hugin? I
ask because none of my porting effort touched GPU-related stuff; glew
has explicit build-time support for cygming systems (in addition to
cygwin and mingw32), and I used a prebuilt glut32.dll.

Thanks!
Ryan

[Ryan Johnson-8]

Hi Rick,

Can you try this version out:
http://hugin.panotools.org/testing/hugin/hugin-2009.4.0_rc2-win32-unicode-cygming-bin.zip

I think my machine must not have the Asian language packs installed
because it still can't change the locale, but the binaries are now 3MB
bigger compressed, so I'm pretty sure unicode is really there.

Regards,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Re i18n: I am downloading the new version now.  I am using Vista in
English with the Traditional Chinese Language pack.  I don't any
errors; it just ignores the setting.  I have tried spanish and it
works fine.  I will post an update when I try your latest.

Re OoM:  The error I am getting is the same error I got in the past
when setting the memory cache size too large.  For this case, I set it
to 2GB (-m 2000).  I think a small setting should not cause a problem,
it should just go to disk cache.

Re GPU:  This is the first time I have tested the GPU option.  If
there is another build to try for comparison, just send me a link and
I will give it a try.

Regards,
Rick

Hi Ryan,

I just tried the latest build and Chinese Traditional now works!  I
probably need to run through a full test case to make sure there are
no unicode issues (early builds of 0.8.0 had some that were cleaned up
before release).  I will report back when complete.

Regards,
Rick

to compare the GPU option with the traditional CPU stitching, just
enable/disable GPU stitching in the preferences setting.

Hi Ryan,

I ran through my workflow with no unicode related errors.

Maybe not something your are working on, but just to thoroughly
document my observations, the following items are not translated:

"Loading images" - bottom of main window after opening project
"Cancel"  - button on fine tune all points status dialog box
"OK" - button on fine tune all points complete dialog box
"Strategy.." and other text of the optimizer status window
"YES" and "NO" buttons of optimizer dialog box
"Optimizing variables" of the optimizer status box
"YES" and "NO" buttons of exposure dialog box about linked parameters
"OK" and "Cancel" buttons of the exposure "number of pixels" dialog
box
"Cancel"  - button on expsosure status dialog box
"YES" and "NO" buttons of exposure dialog box about applying results
"Cancel"  - button on Align status dialog box
All text except dialog box name for filename selection after pressing
Stitch now.

Regards,
Rick

Hi Yuv,

Yes, that is the option I used for the test case that gave the out of
memory error.  I think Ryan's comment was concerning if the error I
observed was specific to his build.

Rick

Hi Rick,

Re: i18n: It sounds like wxWidgets+unicode support was the magic
combination -- I strongly suspect somebody just forgot to i18n-ize
those few spots in the GUI.

Re OoM: I couldn't tell from your previous emails: were you able to
work around the error by setting -m smaller and/or increasing the disk
cache size?

Re GPU: Yes, the question is whether something is broken about GPU
+enblend+win32. It seems that CPU+enblend+win32 works, and GPU+preview
+win32 works, and GPU+enblend+linux works, which makes me suspect
there's simply a problem with enblend's GPU code under windows. AFAIK
mine is the only enblend+GPU+win32 in the wild. Allard's MSCV 2009.2
build uses the version of enblend that shipped with 0.7, and the
official 3.2 build from Sourceforge doesn't seem to use GPU (links
only to user32.dll and kernel32.dll).

If somebody could tell me what it takes to integrate an enblend-4.0
snapshot with hugin I'm game. I just need to know:
1. How to download an enblend-4.0 snapshot -- the sourceforge site
doesn't make it obvious
2. What hugin code needs to change to handle the changes to command-
line args in enblend-4.0 vs older releases.

Meanwhile, just to be sure, perhaps you could download the official
win32 enblend/enfuse from Sourceforge and see what happens with a GPU
stitch.

Ryan

Hmm... definitely try the official windows build of enblend-3.2. I
just checked my libtiff, which claims to have GPU support baked in,
and it doesn't depend on any graphics-related dlls either.

I did not find any sign of ignorance in the message - just well
formulated analysis and questions that bring the project further.


> I just figured out that wxWidgets was built without Unicode support

IIRC there were issues with Unicode / Windows which forced us e.g. to
use ISO-8859-1 in the XRC files, which in turns is a pain in the neck
because many XRC editors only support UTF-8. Any solution that helps
make the Windows build more UTF-8 compliant is welcome.

enblend-enfuse are independent from Hugin's cache preferences. Hugin
only composes the command line that executes either enblend or enfuse.

My hardware situation is similar to yours, Ryan. From observations
reported by others the problem does not seem to be a platform (Windows /
Linux) issue but rather a hardware or driver issue. I am not sure about
the influence of the toolchain (MSVC vs. mingw). Using a prebuilt
glut32.dll should be fine. A few weeks back I published an MSVC built
nona-gpu for Windows. I don't recall the URL, should be somewhere in
this list's archives.

you need mercurial. get TortoiseHg and follow the instructions on [0]

don't worry about this. in theory there should be no changes. in
practice and IIRC there are a couple of bugs that have not been fixed
yet that may affect 360°x180° panoramas - not critical for testing other
test cases.

Hi Ryan,

Re OoM:  I was not able to get enblend to work, even by setting "-m
2000".  I usually use "-m 3000" for 32bit windows version.  I am
trying it again with "-m 1000"... I will report back in the morning.
I don't know of a way to change disk cache settings.  I assumed hugin
just used as much as it needed.

Re GPU: SInce enblend did not run on most images, I asumed the problem
was with Nona.  If this feature is available in Allard's 2009.2 build,
I could give it a try tomorrow.

Regards,
Rick
