Hidden objects and hidden GPS way points are displayed in blue. +Stitching +========= + +If you have multiple images from the same viewpoint gipfel can stitch them +together to form a panorama image. +For stitching the input images must all have been correctly oriented +with gipfel and saved (see "Loading and Saving Images"). +You can then call gipfel -s <img1> <img2> ... +to see the result in a window. Alternatively you can call +gipfel -s -j <outimg> <img1> <img2> ... +to save the result as a JPEG image to <outimg> or +gipfel -s -t <outdir> <img1> <img2> ... +to save the result as multiple TIFF images to <outdir>. +Use the multiple TIFF option for blending the result with enblend +(http://enblend.sourceforge.net/). +The width and height of the result images can be adjusted with the +-w and -h options. + +The nice thing about stitching is that gipfel uses the same code that +it already had for positioning mountains on the pictures. +gipfel simply scans all directions needed for the panorama and determines +where these directions would end up on the various pictures. It can then +record the corresponding color values from the input images. + +In contrast to other stitching programs, the input images don't need to +overlap. + + Troubleshooting =============== |
