Autopano Giga and XML files

by signmaster » Mon Feb 19, 2018 9:31 am

I have just recently purchased a motorised pano head. http://panocatcher.com/maestro3-sd-robotic-panorama-head/
The head is driven by an Android app and you can generate an xml file online here http://panocatcher.com/xml/ and shooting profiles here http://panocatcher.com/panoplanner/ Also here https://www.soundview360.com/utils/panocalc/ , this site was made by a PanoCatcher owner, K Gooding.
My problem is that none of the XML files work with Autopano Giga. If I stitch an image in the normal way and export to Papywizard the resultant XML file works perfectly.
Would be good if someone could give me some insights into the problem.

Hello,

Focal lenght and type are missing in your XML file. If you drag and drop the pictures to Autopano, change the focal lenght with the right value in Image properties, then use Papywizard import module, it works!

Let me know.

Best,
Olivier

Hi Oliver
I have always put in the correct focal length in the tab when you input the papywizard file and panos. If you drag in the panos into Autopano and then load the Papywizard import you have to select the XML and pano location, then it loads a second copy of the panos and still does not stitch correctly as per my screenshot.
Did you download the files and test?
Perhaps I am doing something wrong???

Hi Steve,

I just set the focal lenght to 19mm in Papywizard Shoot setup tab and nothing else

Best,
Olivier

Wow, that worked, thanks, Oliver.
My problem was I was selecting a standard lens which is the type of lens that I was using. There must be some type of bug, but selecting a fisheye lens certainly fixes the problem. I am not sure how it will go with a longer lens, will have to try.

Hi Steve,

We will have a look at the issue regarding lens type included in the import module
Anyway, thanks for your trust.

Best regards,
Olivier
