NAME

ptovariable - prepare a pto project for typical optimisation tasks

SYNOPSIS

ptovariable [options] project.pto

 Options:
  -p | --positions          Optimise positions
  -v | --view               Optimise angle of view
  -b | --barrel             Optimise barrel distortion
  -c | --centre             Optimise optical centre
  -m | --vignetting         Optimise vignetting
  -n | --vignetting-centre  Optimise vignetting centre
  -r | --response           Optimise camera response EMoR parameters
  -e | --exposure           Optimise exposure (EV)
  -w | --white-balance      Optimise colour balance
  -o | --output OUTFILE     Specify output file default is to overwrite input       
  -h | --help               Outputs help documentation

DESCRIPTION

ptovariable sets optimisation variable 'v' lines for a hugin .pto project. Usually this is a preparation for optimisation with autooptimiser or vig_optimize.

EXAMPLES

This performs the equivalent of the 'Positions, View and Barrel (y,p,r,v,b)' preset on the hugin Optimiser tab:

  ptovariable --positions --view --barrel project.pto
  autooptimiser -n -o project.pto project.pto

This is the equivalent of the 'Low dynamic range' preset on the hugin Exposure tab:

  ptovariable --vignetting --response --exposure project.pto
  vig_optimize -o project.pto project.pto
