How to install autopano-sift-c for Hugin

[Joey]

Hi,

I'm trying to install autopano-sift-c to automatically generate
control points in Hugin. I've downloaded autopano-sift-C-2.5.1 from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/ and have no clue how to
install on Windows XP machine. The README says there is a windows
installer but I don't see any. It also refers to a BUILD_WINDOWS.txt,
which I also can't find. Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Joey

You need the .exe. The version on Sourceforge needs to be compiled.

There is a compiled version in the Panorama Software at http://tksharpless.net/
Or you could download one of the current Hugin Windows releases which
already contains the compiled version e.g. from
http://lemur.dreamhosters.com/hugin/

Please Download this build by Zoran

Just unzip it on your xp machine. Now goto Bin folderand open hugin.

now  File > preferences > control point detectors > On left side choose autopano-siftc and on right side click on edit. Now In Program click on Choose and just locate the folder you unzip and go to "bin" folder. Here you can find autopano sift c. Select it and press OK.  

Now you can see  Arguments: Write or copy paste line below.    

--maxmatches %p %o %s

and you are done. Press ok and load your images. Now in images tab you can click on generate control points and it will start doing it. 

If in case you want to change Autopano sift-c exe. Just unzip exe into Bin folder and choose it.

I hope this helps.
