Hugin multipe pto generator script

[Oriol Matavacas]

Hi All

I created a little script in order to generate the Hugin project file automatically for multiple pano images based on the wiki pages:

http://wiki.panotools.org/Panorama_scripting_in_a_nutshell

The script will create the ".pto" files for all pano images based on the file names.

Maybe is usefull for somebody...

Assumptions\requisites:

Operating System: MacOS

Hugin: 2014 (I didn't tried with a different version)

The script should be on the same folder than image files.

All the files that compon the same panoramic image, should end with the same pano number "Pano1", "Pano2", etc..

Usage:

1) Open script with a text editor and adapt this 2 lines with the number of panos (4 in this example) and the format of the images  (tif, tiff, jpg, jpeg, etc...)(jpg in this example)

export PANO_NUM_MAX=4
export FORMAT=jpg

2) Open terminal in MacOS and run:

./Hugin_pto_Generator.sh

Input example:

DSC001_Pano1.jpg

DSC002_Pano1.jpg

DSC003_Pano1.jpg

DSC004_Pano1.jpg

DSC030_Pano2.jpg

DSC031_Pano2.jpg

DSC032_Pano2.jpg

DSC067_Pano3.jpg

DSC068_Pano3.jpg

DSC069_Pano3.jpg

DSC070_Pano3.jpg

DSC071_Pano3.jpg

DSC089_Pano4.jpg

DSC090_Pano4.jpg

DSC091_Pano4.jpg

DSC092_Pano4.jpg

DSC093_Pano4.jpg

DSC094_Pano4.jpg

....

Output example:

DSC001_Pano1_DSC004_Pano1.pto

DSC001_Pano1_DSC004_Pano1.pto.log

DSC030_Pano30_DSC032_Pano2.pto

DSC030_Pano30_DSC032_Pano2.pto.log

DSC067_Pano3_DSC071_Pano3.pto

DSC067_Pano3_DSC071_Pano3.pto.log

DSC089_Pano4_DSC094_Pano4..pto

DSC089_Pano4_DSC094_Pano4..pto.log

Please find below the script. Copy the text, save it as a "Hugin_pto_Generator.sh" on the same folder of images, and grant it execution permissions (chmod +x :Hugin_pto_Generator.sh).

Why not just make a subfolder for each pano, move the corresponding images into each subfolder, then run whatever PTO generator you like on each subfolder (I use Linux and the right-click tool it already includes)?

Seems easier to me than all the file renaming need for this script. Especially if you have a lot of images in each pano.
