General Discussion / A searched feature

« on: July 08, 2022, 15:28:40  »

Hello,

Sorry if my post is in a wrong forum dscussion.

I'm looking for a feature that I can't find in Hugin. Either, it doesn't exist and it would be useful for many users, or I don't know how to find it.

I work on photography reconductions. I take pictures of views printed on old postcards... at the same location they were taken more than one century ago. I then mix them in a single photo.

Even with using equivalent focal lengths than for the originals, I must deform the recent picture in order it matches to the old one. As for panoramics with Hugin, I'm able to identify control points that would be used by a similar software. Until now, I manually modify the new picture thanks to GIMP and this is tedious and inaccurate.

What I would need, as output, is only the recent picture modified thanks to a process that use the control points... in order to use it later as a calc in GIMP. I don't wish the software automatically produces a mixed picture itself.

Please, could you help ? Thank you.

Regards,
Piblo

Research & Development / Distorsion correction to match old pictures with new ones

« on: May 23, 2020, 22:55:59  »

Hello,

I'm not sure to be on the right forum - I see it seems not very active -, but I try to explain my issue. Sorry also for my English which is far to be perfect.

I'm looking to take photos at the same place and approximative same focal length than done for old photos taken in my town (postal cards). As you may know, a distorsion problem appears. I wonder whether Hugin would be able to correct these distorsions in order to get very similar photos, time/date excepted. The method would consist in having the old and new photos in a window and to select couples of dots on each photos... as we do with Hugin to assemble photos in a panoramic view... and then, execute the computation in order to apply a distorsion correction on one of the photos.

Does this feature exist ? If not, I think it wouldn't be a great challenge to add it ? Do you agree ?

Best regards,
