Hugin Tutorials

English

Hugin Overview

This tutorial explains the different stages of the panorama stitching process and discusses the concepts involved.

Stitching two photos together

This tutorial covers the simplest usage of Hugin, just taking two handheld photographs and sticking them together into a single image.

Stitching Multi-row photos together

This tutorial covers a more complex application of Hugin, taking two rows of handheld photographs and stitching them together into a single image, using the automated Assistant. The same process can be applied to more than two rows.

Simulating an architectural projection

This tutorial covers a basic non-panoramic usage of Hugin; taking a handheld photograph and using vertical control-points to correct lens barrel distortion and remove perspective effects.

Stitching photos from different lenses

Hugin can stitch photos taken with different lenses and even different cameras.

Stitching flat scanned images

This tutorial covers another non-panoramic usage of Hugin — Taking two or more partial scanned images of a large object, such as an LP cover, map or poster, and stitching them seamlessly into a single final image.

Perspective correction

This tutorial covers a basic use of Hugin — Using both horizontal and vertical control-points to remove all perspective effects from a photograph.

Simple lens calibration

This tutorial describes the application of Hugin to obtain lens distortion parameters a, b, c. These parameters can be saved for reuse in future projects, or imported into a lens database such as lensfun.

Transverse chromatic aberration correction with Hugin and fulla

This tutorial explains how Hugin can be used to estimate parameters for the correction of transverse chromatic aberration. The resulting coefficients can be used with the PanoTools correct plugin, or the fulla program distributed with Hugin.

Masking for enblend with SVG and Inkscape

enblend-svg is an experimental tool for blending SVG layers using enblend, this is a potential solution to the problem of masking areas before blending.

Creating 360° enfused panoramas

enfuse is a new tool for merging bracketed exposures and assembling a composite image containing the best exposed bits of each. Hugin 0.7.0 includes complete support for creating Exposure fused images with enfuse.

Stitching auto-exposed panoramas

Stitching panoramas shot with a camera on auto-exposure is a pain. Hugin 2009.2.0 now has a useful output option that uses seam blending for stitching photos with minor exposure differences and uses exposure fusion for assembling these exposure layers into a final panorama.

A greater depth of field in macro photography

Eduardo Perez has written an article on 'focus stacking' with enfuse, merging several photos taken at different focus distances.

HDR and Linux

Eduardo Perez describes his current workflow dealing with HDRs using Linux software.

Using Autopano and Enblend with Hugin

Rob Park has written a nice tutorial that shows how other autopano-sift, Hugin and enblend can be used together to produce a seamless panorama from many images.

Creating simple panoramas

Peter Gawthrop has written a simple step by step tutorial for getting started with stitching a small number of photos.

Creating linear panoramas with Hugin

This tutorial by Joachim Fenkes is a more advanced version of the stitching flat scanned images tutorial. Except instead of scanned images, photographs of a long mural are assembled into a single image.

Creating Spherical Panoramas with the Canon 5D and 15mm Fisheye Lens

Peter Gawthrop has written a Hugin tutorial covering creation of a full spherical panorama from a small number of fisheye photos. The tutorial also shows how to use a simple tone-mapping technique to blend bracketed exposures into a final image with detail covering the full exposure range.

John Houghton's tutorials

While John is using PTGui or PTAssembler, his tutorials are an excellent source of information about creating panoramic images with Panorama Tools. Read here to learn more about the inner working of Hugin, for example how the optimizer works and how it can be used best.

Panotools wiki tutorials

There are a number of tutorials that can be applied to Hugin usage and a lot of all round useful information relevant to panoramic imaging on the Panotools wiki.

Rectilinear/cylindric/equirectangular projection selection made easy

A tutorial explaining the differences between the various projections.

Panoramen mit HUGIN

Dieses Tutorial beschreibt die Erstellung von Panoramen mit Hugin. Die einzelnen Schritte werden detailliert erklärt und dargestellt. Ein sehr umfangreiches Tutorial mit vielen weiterführenden Informationen die für das Verständnis von Hugin und den Panorama Tools wichtig sind.

Panoramabilder erstellen

Dieses Tutorial beschreibt die Erstellung eines einreihigen Panoramas mit Hugin unter Windows. Es werden die notwendigen Schritte von der Bildaufnahme bis zum fertigen Panorama erläutert. Im Gegensatz zu Panoramen mit HUGIN steht hier die einfache und möglichst schnelle Erstellung des Panorams im Vordergrund.

Ein Einstieg in die Digitale Panoramafotografie: Eine sehr kompakte Einführung, welche die Verwendung von autopano, Hugin und enblend zur Erstellung von Panoramen vorführt.

Hugin: vue d'ensemble

Ce tutorial explique les étapes successives qui permettent de réaliser l'assemblage d'un panorama et les mécanismes mis en oeuvre pour cela.

Comment assembler deux photos

Ce tutoriel couvre l'usage le plus simple de Hugin, cad assembler deux images prises a main levée pour n'en former qu'une seule.

Simuler une projection architecturale

Ce tutoriel couvre un usage basique non panoramique de Hugin; partir d'une photo prise à main levée et utiliser les points de contrôle 'verticaux' pour corriger la distortion en 'barrel' de l'optique, et retirer l'effet de perspective.
