Download Hugin 2011.4.0

Hugin is a free and open source cross-platform panorama photo stitching and HDR merging software. Stitching is accomplished by using several overlapping photos taken from the same location, and using control points to align and transform the photos so that they can be blended together to form a larger image.

Features:

• combine overlapping images for panoramic photography
• correct complete panorama images, e.g. those that are "wavy" due to a badly levelled panoramic camera
• stitch large mosaics of images and photos, e.g. of long walls or large microscopy samples
• find control points and optimize parameters with the help of software assistants/wizards
• output several projection types, such as equirectangular (used by many full spherical viewers), mercator, cylindrical, stereographic, and sinusoidal
• perform advanced photometric corrections and HDR stitching

Hugin Changelog :

Hugin now has a vertical feature detection tool for automatic levelling of panoramas. Besides, also many bugs have been fixed and many general improvements have been made.

Vertical feature detection tool

Often a panorama, created from several single photos, is not level. In this case the experienced user adds vertical and horizontal control points to level the panorama.

With this release Hugin introduces a tool named linefind which automatically detects vertical features in the photos such as the edges of buildings and windows, and assigns vertical control points to them. This makes it easier than before to level a panorama, in most cases it works without any intervention.

Other Improvements

• The Fast Preview window can now show composition guides such as Rule of Thirds and Golden ratio to support an easier composition of the final panorama.
• The output of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images has been modified to prevent clipping of the exposure in EXR format images. The previous versions of Hugin outputted HDR images with absolute exposure values, now with this 2011.4.0 release, Hugin uses relative exposure values. This means that the output Exposure Value (EV) of the panorama, which can be set in the preview window, has an influence on the HDR output (as already for normal LDR images) and should be set to the medium exposure value of the images. If you set the output exposure value to zero, the old behavior is restored.
• The batch processor PTBatcherGUI has been extended:

1. It is now possible to directly add unaligned projects to the assistant queue for aligning and control point generation.
2. Successfully stitched projects can be automatically removed from the queue, this makes the queue management easier.
3. If a project was successfully finished by the assistant, it can be automatically added to the stitching queue. This now allows for a fully automatic panorama creation workflow.

Many more improvements and bug fixes.
