ALIGN_IMAGE_STACK(1)						       HUGIN						      ALIGN_IMAGE_STACK(1)

NAME

       align_image_stack - Align overlapping images for HDR or focus stack creation

SYNOPSIS

       align_image_stack [options] input files

DESCRIPTION

       align_image_stack is used for the alignment of slightly misaligned images or for the registration of a stereo images pair.  When several
       differently exposed images are taken in the process of creating a High Dynamic Range image, the images are not perfectly aligned, and the
       quality of the HDR image created will suffer from this.	align_image_stack uses the tools available to hugin to optimize the roll, pitch
       and yaw, as well as some parameters of the lens geometry, to align the images.

OPTIONS

       Modes of operation:

       -p file
	   Output .pto file (useful for debugging, or further refinement)

       -a prefix
	   Output aligned images as prefix_xxxx.tif

       -o output
	   Align images and merge them to HDR, generate output.hdr

       Modifiers:

       -v  Verbose, print progress messages. Repeat for higher verbosity

       -e  Assume input images are full frame fish eye (default: rectilinear)

       -t num
	   Remove all control points with an error higher than num pixels (default: 3)

       -f HFOV
	   Approximate horizontal field of view of input images, use if EXIF info not complete

       -m  Optimize field of view for all images, except for first. Useful for aligning focus stacks with slightly different magnification.

       -d  Optimize radial distortion for all images, except for first.

       -i  Optimize image center shift for all images, except for first.

       -S  Assume stereo images - allow horizontal shift of control points.

       -A  Align stereo window - assumes -S

       -P  Align stereo window with pop-out effect - assumes -S

       -C  Auto crop the image to the area covered by all images

       -c num
	   Number of control points (per grid) to create between adjacent images (default: 8)

       -l  Assume linear input files

       -s scale
	   Scale down image by 2^scale (default: 1 [2x down-sampling])

       -g gsize
	   Break image into a rectangular grid (gsize x gsize) and attempt to find num control points in each section (default: 5 [5x5 grid])

       -h  Display help summary.

NAME

       nona - Stitch a panorama image

SYNOPSIS

       nona [options] -o output project_file (image files)

DESCRIPTION

       nona uses the transform function from PanoTools, the stitching itself is quite simple, no seam feathering is done.

       Only the non-antialiasing interpolators of PanoTools are supported.

       The following output formats (n option of PanoTools p script line) are supported:

       JPEG, TIFF, PNG	: Single image formats without feathered blending
       TIFF_m	       : multiple tiff files
       TIFF_multilayer : Multilayer tiff files, readable by The Gimp 2.0

OPTIONS

       General options:

       -c  Create coordinate images (only TIFF_m output)

       -v  Quiet, do not output progress indicators

       -t num
	   Number of threads to be used (default: number of available cores)

       The following options can be used to override settings in the project file:

       -i num
	   Remap only image with number num (can be specified multiple times)

       -m str
	   Set output file format (TIFF, TIFF_m, TIFF_multilayer, EXR, EXR_m)

       -r ldr/hdr
	   Set output mode:

	   ldr - keep original bit depth and response
	   hdr - merge to hdr
       -e exposure
	   Set exposure for ldr mode

       -p TYPE
	   Pixel type of the output. Can be one of:

	   UINT8   8 bit unsigned integer
	   UINT16  16 bit unsigned integer
	   INT16   16 bit signed integer
	   UINT32  32 bit unsigned integer
	   INT32   32 bit signed integer
	   FLOAT   32 bit floating point
       -z  Set compression type. Possible options for tiff output:

	   NONE      no compression
	   LZW	     LZW compression
	   DEFLATE   deflate compression
