Stitching photoes
Apr. 27th, 2009 11:24 pmI know I haven't written anything about the climbing trip yet, but the pictures have been posted.
Not really going to post about it now either, but I wanted to share my experiments with photo stitching. The first morning, I got up at a silly early hour, enough so that I was up and about to see the sunrise. I walked up to the top of the hill near our camp, and just snapped a series of pictures of the mountains around - no tripod, not really even stopping for each picture, just letting the camera grab them as I was spinning.
The original 9 are posted with the rest of the pictures linked above. Then, I sat with gimp, and just tried connecting them. It worked kinda ok, but the picture boundaries were really obvious (click to see the whole thing):
Then, I tried (still with the gimp) to see if I can hide the boundary lines a bit - mostly smudging, a little bit with the stamp tool (click to see the whole thing):
Better, but the exposure still needed correcting. Then, today, Xavier mentioned Hugin, and I figured I'll give it a shot. I think it really worked quite well (click to see the whole thing):
I think next time I'll try it with a tripod though - you can certainly see the movement as I spin to the left.
