NAME
align_image_stack - Align overlapping images for HDR or focus stack cre-
ation
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 im-
age created will suffer from this. align_image_stack uses the tools avail-
able to hugin to optimize the roll, pitch and yaw, as well as some parame-
ters 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 (de-
fault: 3)
--corr=num
Correlation threshold for identifying control points (default: 0.9)
-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.
-x Optimize X coordinate of camera position
-y Optimize Y coordinate of camera position
-z Optimize Z coordinate of camera position
-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])
--distortion
Try to load distortion information from lens database
--use-given-order
Use the image order as given on the command line. (By default images
will be sorted by exposure values.)
--gpu
Use GPU for remapping
-h Display help summary.
