Hugin is an opensource graphical user interface (GUI) for Panorama tools.
Like other GUI front-ends, hugin provides an easy to use unified point-and-click interface to a whole range of other command-line tools including:
- autopano-sift or autopano for automatic creation of control points.
- PTOptimizer for optimization of camera orientation and lens parameters based on control points.
- nona or PTStitcher for rendering output images.
- enblend for seamless blending of output images.
But the Hugin project's mission is not only to provide a powerful GUI, but also to provide opensource replacements for the closed source parts of Panorama tools, especially PTStitcher. A PTStitcher replacement, called nona has been developed and supports the most important features of PTStitcher.
The following tools are part of the hugin suite:
- hugin the gui front end.
- nona a command-line replacement for PTStitcher.
- nona_gui a version of nona with gui progress dialogs similar to the windows version of PTStitcher.
- autooptimiser an experimental tool with the same interface as PTOptimizer except using pairwize optimization which doesn't require any manual pre-placement.
- zhang_undistort a tool for correcting barrel distortion.
- panoglview OPenGL panorama viewer is stored in sourceforge CVS alongside hugin but must be built separately.
More information, documentation and tutorials are available on the project website.
