Straight Line UI proposal

Stativ: change order of references

=A New Tool For Straight Line Definition=

==Preface==

Currently the only one way to specify lines in panorama is to manually create pairs of control points. This approach has multiple disadvantages. From user perspective it's not very intuitive and defining multiple lines can be a pretty tedious work. Also the lines are a part of output space and thus defining them in output space seems to be more appropriate.

==Proposal==

Move the straight line definition into the Fast Preview. The line can be drawn in a way similar to what is done in the most vector editors. Control points would be added as the user would click in the preview and the line between two points would be immediately shown (i.e. first click adds first point, second clicks adds point and draws line between the first and second and so on).

There has to be an option allowing the user to specify the type of line – whether it's horizontal, vertical or some general line. It might be handy if there was an option to run optimizer as the lines are added so the user would have an immediate feedback how the lines change the panorama. Note that optimizer shouldn't be run by default, because optimization may take a lot of time rendering proposed tool unusable.

There are several problems that has to be resolved first. If the tool is based upon the contemporary way of defining lines the decision where to place the control points has to be made. Also there is a problem as how the line should be specified when images overlap as noted by kfj in [1].

The idea is based on the idea from RawTherapee forum [2].

Stativ:

The aim of this project would be to bring ghost removal techniques to the enfuse tool.

Current deghosting code will be completely refactored. My idea is to create abstract base class with defined interface for:
* adding one or more images (It should allow loading both color images and luminance images based on image names)
* adding one or more luminance images (will have to be in the same order as the loaded images id the names are no corresponding)
* setting optional flags to the algorithm (by using bits in integer number so it will not be dependent on how many parameters there are so it will be easier to add new deghosting algorithms)
* generating weight mask for HDR merging (used in hugin_hdrmerge)
* generating weight mask for enfuse if it's not possible to do it by different approach

Possible approaches of how to implement deghosting to enfuse:
* use the weight mask based on luminance images and do the difference between it and the input luminance image
* use weights generated by enfuse instead of luminance images
* something other?
