Hugin news: a blog and enfuse

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Recently two interesting messages have been published on the Hugin
site
.

First, a blog has been launched to provide regular news on Hugin and related open source tools such as panotools. It is called “This week in panospace”.

Second, as part of the upcoming stable release 0.7.0 enfuse will be incorporated which permits to blend images with different exposures. It resembles HDR but is geared towards panorama photography. On that subject a nice tutorial has been written which gives at the same time a nice overview of how to work with Hugin.

Rawstudio 0.7 is out

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

On the 24th of January Rawstudio has released version 0.7 of its RAW image processing application. Most important new feature may well be its ability to demosaic RAW images.

Demosaicing is in fact colour reconstruction. Because the sensor elements of a digital camera cannot save the colour information, a filter grid is used so that each sensor element only detects red, green or blue (other separations are used as well). To take advantage of the full resolution of the sensor the colour of each pixel has to be estimated by using the colour information of the other pixels around it. That process is called demosaicing.

Marcin pointed me to this: Miguel de Icaza writes on his blog about the port of Pant.NET to the Mono platform. It is available this way for all Unixes.

Perhaps worth a look.
