Hi all,
I have a few questions about PTMender. Is there an
official documentation somewhere?
I understand it is a drop-in replacement for
PTStitcher, so I looked for PTStitcher docu. The best
I came across is at
<http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~bernardk/tutorials/360/readme/index.html>
which is well written but three years old. I am not
sure it is complete. For example I do not find
anything about value "TIFF_m" for parameter n or value
3 (full frame fish eye) for parameter f at
<http://www.path.unimelb.edu.au/~bernardk/tutorials/360/readme/p_line.html>
Does PTMender support all what is documented there?
<http://wiki.panotools.org/PTmender> says it does
support f3 and n"QTVR".
One feature I find intriguing in the old ptstitcher
docu is n"QTVR". It says it works only with f1 -
cylindrical projection, so I guess it works only for
cylindrical QTVR and not for cubic? does this apply to
PTMender too? nona's documentation doe snot mention
n"QTVR" at all
<http://hugin.sourceforge.net/docs/nona/nona.txt>.
What kind of QTVR does PTMender support? cylindric and
cubic? sub-tiles? if it does not support cubic /
sub-tiles, would it make sense to add support? to
PTMender? to nona? to both?
Excuse my ignorance - don't PTMender and nona overlap
in functionality? Without intention to offend any
sensitivity, wouldn't it make sense to join forces on
a single stitching engine that achieves the
functionalities of both?
I read
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.ptx/4622/>
and I really cant follow the argument that PTMender is
to nona what PTstitcher is to nona.
The Panotools Wiki qualifies both PTMender and nona as
drop in replacements for PTstitcher.
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Nona>
<http://wiki.panotools.org/PTmender>
So if nona is a replacement to PTstitcher, is it also
a replacement to PTMender? should I use nona instead
of PTMender?
My goal is to manipulate images server-side, no GUI,
possibly on a FreeBSD server. Within that
manipulation, I'd like to create QTVRs, possibly
without having to install and configure
wine/QuickTime.
Yuv
