Hugin

Hugin is an open source GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the Panorama Tools.

With Hugin you can assemble a mosiac of photographs into a complete immersible panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more.

What is new in this release:

• Changes Since 2012.0.0:
• The greatest change is the redesign of the (Graphical) User Interface (GUI). The user interface now consists of three modes: Simple, Advanced and Expert. The Simple interface is for the beginning panorama photographer and offers all tools to create your panorama. You can also use this mode if you have a simple, straightforward panorama. The Simple interface mode uses the "Fast Preview" window as its main workflow window. The Advanced interface mode offers you more options to improve your panorama. It uses the Panorama Editor as its main window. The Expert mode gives you access to all options and functions that Hugin has to offer. This is where you can optimize your complicated, multilayer, mosaic, multi-stack, you name it, panorama. It also uses the Panorama Editor as its main window.
• The Hugin build for Mac OS X has switched from Carbon to Cocoa and is now fully 64bit.
• New tools added:
• pto_var ( change image variables inside pto files)
• pto_lensstack (modify assigned lenses and stack in pto files)
• geocpset (set/add geometric constraints for multirow panorama with featureless images)
• Other Improvements:
• Many more improvements and bug fixes.
• Languages:
• Most of the translations have been updated for this release.
