If after seeing how easy it can be to stitch photos in Hugin you don’t feel to go out and shoot a collection of photos and try it yourself, then I may have failed. My goal is to get you to the point where you can download and install Hugin, stitch your first panorama (I’ve provided some images), and see a few of Hugin’s pixel-bending abilities when it’s used on fisheye photos. This post is a rather long one, and contains a lot of video. Many of the demos and features I’m going to explore were inspired by the tutorials on the aforementioned page. In addition, almost everything I’ve learned about Hugin is documented in the built-in help or the tutorial page on Hugin’s site. More recently I purchased a fisheye lens for my Micro Four Thirds camera and discovered a whole new set of features that Hugin has to offer.īefore moving on, it’s important to note that Hugin is free, open-source software built by a team of wonderful folks who have created quite possibly the best panorama stitching and manipulation tool out there. Since capturing that shot, and being amazed at the power of Hugin’s toolchain (more on that later) I’ve used its basic features and the built in wizard to stitch the occasional set of photos. I’ve been using a tool called Hugin (I believe it’s pronounced hyoo-gin) since 2007 when I shot one of my first panoramas the USS Midway here in San Diego. Some of the image straightening techniques explored here can also be used to prepare textures for use in 3D, so it’s still relatively relevant to this blog. Photography is one of my hobbies, and especially panoramic photography. I don’t typically post about photography, but in this case it’s more about image manipulation. Here’s a post that is a bit different for this blog.
