Trying a new stitch... and since I may have been a bit too optimistic about how low I can go with the settings, automatic feature detection is struggling - At 80x I usually scan with a step size of 0.3mm and lots of overlap, but then I would be in for ten days of scanning. This attempt is with 0.6mm which works for 40x. Just enough overlap here, but to match features between neighboring images is difficult even for me.

So I loaded the panorama in grid mode -fixed control points where I know the images overlap - which gave me some new insight into compound eyes. Now I wonder if the wasps run #ptgui or #hugin in their heads...

Aglaostigma aucupariae, the red belted cleaver, a sawfly.

Here is the "regular" macro shot, for comparison:

Making Panoramas in the Rainforest (part two) - M&M's Musings

Hi Folks: Making digital panoramas is essentially a two-part process. In part one of this post I covered a bit about digital panoramas in general and some considerations that become important when collecting the images to be used for the panorama. Part two is focused (pun intended) more toward what to do with the images

Finally figured out an annoying bug in my code related to NED and ENU coordinate conventions.
This means my converted Marsrover images now have accurate pointing information from the CAHVOR camera model embedded in xmp metadata.
Programs like PTGui or Metashape can import this as priors, so creating panoramas or photogrammetry scans will be a lot easier in the future!

@swendel Hey, thanks a lot.

The hardware is pretty basic, if you are patient. I started with an old Samsung S9, a basic #microscope with movable platform (Bresser Erudit DLX) and a phone holder for the eyepiece.

Stacking happens in #enfuse using
https://github.com/relet/rolling-focus (but after gaining confidence I dropped the live preview in exchange for speed)

Stitching can be done with #hugin, though #PTGui is nicer and I like to support the project.

Low Light, High Noise and ISO Invariance - M&M's Musings

Hi Folks: It was a dark and stormy night. I've always wanted to write that... haven't you? Okay, in this case it wasn't night (mid-to-late afternoon) and it was sunny rather than stormy, but it was dark. Marcia and I were on a trip to Tofino, BC and I was wandering along the boardwalk of
