Handover rough alignment to PTGui

[Marcus Wengenroth]

Hi all,

I made a robot head that automatically aligns and takes photos. The interaction with PTGui also works well so far. In the case of sky shots and white walls, however, you have to define the orientation manually. That would actually not be necessary because the orientation of each recording is known and is currently written into the file name. I could also create a json file or make the data available in some other way.

Is there a way to convey this information for the rough alignment PTGui?

Greetings, Marcus

Hi Marcus,

PTGui can import Papywizard XML files (File - Import Papywizard) to set
the yaw and pitch of each image.

Or it would not be very hard to create a PTGui project file yourself,
it's JSON based. You could take an existing project file and modify the
yaw/pitch/roll angles.

Kind regards,

Wow, that's great! This xml-File seems to be ease to create!

Thanks a lot!

Hm, after testing Papywizard and also trying to export with https://www.panocatcher.com/xml/ I got some code like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <papywizard>

    <shoot>

      <pict bracket="1">

        <position pitch="45" yaw="0"/>

      </pict>

      <pict bracket="2">

        <position pitch="45" yaw="0"/>

      </pict>

      <pict bracket="3">

        <position pitch="45" yaw="0"/>

      </pict>

      <pict bracket="4">

        <position pitch="45" yaw="0"/>

      </pict>

...

    </shoot>

  </papywizard>

How is the connection to the file name established? I can't find further information to the structure of this file.

Kind wishes, Marcus

Hi Marcus,

The values are applied in the image order: first position to first
image, second to second, etc.

Any bracketing in the papywizard file is ignored; If you have bracketed
images, PTGui applies each position to a linked group of images.

Kind regards,
