Hugin usage ✅
Could someone post a tutorial for how to use hugin efficiently? I find myself spending lots of time 1) creating control points and 2) trying to tweak parameters and not getting very good results. gujamin 13:31, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) It would belong in hugin (software)
 * 2) It falls afoul of WP:NOT

List of software
I've removed the list of software as it was resembling a directory/list of external links. As there is a Category:Photo stitching software, notable image stitching software should have an article made and added to this category. Marasmusine 07:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Illustration of components?
It would be neat if someone had or could make an image that shows all the individual pictures and then the final composite--Ioshus (talk) 04:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

"Opposite" of Stitching?
Does anybody know what the "opposite" is? Means: not the camera is at the centre and rotates to take images of the surrounding, but the object is on a turntable at the centre and rotates to get images from different sides taken. How is this called? What Software exists? --Stefanhanoi 07:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I've heard it referred to as a QTVR Object Movie. VRWorx and QTVR Authoring Studio both support creating this. I also recently saw something that will convert a video of something turning into a QTVR Object Movie. gujamin 14:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Terminology: VR Object Movies

These are, classically, called Object Movies or VR Object Movies, although the 'movie' term is a leftover from when QuickTime was the wrapper technology used to play both panoramas and objects. The term '360 image sequence' is used by Adobe in its Digital Publishing Suite to refer to this kind of interactive media. However, 'image sequence' is inadvisable as it has existing meanings in animation production that could cause confusion.

Professional VR panorama photographers and specialist software developers refer to these as Object Movies, VR Movies or Multi-Frame Panoramas: see KRPano, Garden Gnome Software , AirPano and others. Avoiding '360' in the generic term is wise, as these aren't necessarily made using complete 360-degree rotations. From KRPano code reference: "hlimit [boolean] limit the horizontal rotation (set to true for partial object vr's with limited atv rotation)". The1keith (talk) 10:05, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

alternatives to stitching?
A section alternatives to stitching would be useful. One entry could be use of a turntable. My alternative would be non-overlapping images, which I had Thought would also be called stitching but the description specifies overlaps. My use involves sending a hi-definition jpg through a radio link that only sends 320 pixel thumbnails. So I don't want any overlap - sending the same pixel twice is wasteful. I want to divide the image into say 8 rectangles, send 8 pictures and stitch them together. What is that called if its not stitching? A link is needed. Certainly for an uncompressed image, ooverlapping would wastefully duplicate the overlapped rows and columns. Just like that extra o. Can someone confirm that non-overlapped images cannot be stitched and what the alternative is called.

Terminology: stitching, blending and tiling The panorama stitching process normally includes blending of overlapping areas, but the stitching aspect itself simply refers to putting multiple images together into a final composite image. If you have pixel-perfect alignment when you put (stitch) your images together then you're not blending, just stitching. But if you're not turning the separate images into a final composite of some sort – you're serving the individual images aligned but not merged – you're not stitching, you're tiling. Tiling is a technique used to deliver just the relevant parts of a larger, already-stitched panoramic image, with required image tiles being requested by the viewer and sent by the server as the user looks around the scene.

Composting?
This article talks about "Composting". But I'm almost certain that it's a repeated typo and what is intended is the word "Compositing". Not 100% sure. Maybe composting is a thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.94.43.4 (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
