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.

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 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.

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 abberation. 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 Blended images with enfuse.

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.
