Hi Pablo,<br>
<br>
Actually I have two reasons to be interested in the masks.<br>
<br>
1. The PTStitcher masks often seem badly placed.<br>
I would expect seams to be at the middle of overlap between<br>
two images, so that every pixel in the output image comes<br>
from the input image in which it is most central. PTStitcher<br>
seems to do something different, so I was hoping to either<br>
understand why I am thinking wrong, or fix the code.<br>
<br>
2. I do macro photography (insects at 1-10X on the film),<br>
so I am interested in montaging for extended depth of focus.<br>
I have played around with hacking an algorithm into<br>
pano12.dll to automatically compute masks for the<br>
montaging. It works well enough to be encouraging,<br>
but there really is not a place to hook it in that I am happy <br>
with. Perhaps nona would be a friendlier place to work?<br>
<br>
Thanks much,<br>

I can find that looks promising.
I have just about convinced myself that the masks must
be computed inside PTStitcher.exe, and not in pano12.dll .

That is true. But the nona stitcher is an opensource implementation of
PTStitcher, so you could look at that (but wait until I checked in the
recent changes). What do you plan to do?
