On the other hand Multiblend doesn’t do seam optimization, so there can be some artifacts e.g. with moving objects (top OpenCV, bottom Multiblend, images from @sguyader):
Due to this, I haven’t made Multiblend the default yet, you can try it out in Options → Panorama stitching. I hope I’ll be able to combine the seam optimization from OpenCV with multiblend eventually.
I’d be happy to hear your feedback if you try this out.
Great results, indeed now the detail is preserved, good job. Too bad regarding the lack of seam optimization, I hope you find a solve this (and please solve this before august, as I’ll return to Venice this summer )!
But for general landscapes the Multiblend algorithm is definitely a keeper.
I tried to build xpano on MacOS Ventura, last time it worked but this time when I launch Xpano I get the following error: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/fmt/lib/libfmt.9.dylib
The version of fmt installed on my Mac is 10, not 9. Is there a way to make Xpano work with that version?
Indeed I had forgotten to clean my directories from previous builds.
After cleaning, I first got a fail with the exiv2 that is cloned and built from git, but it worked building Xpano against the already installed exiv2 from brewer.
Xpano 0.15.0 Works fine on linux Manjaro, the multiblend algorithm: is definitely a plus regarding texture over opencv.
It would be cool to know why the original opencv algo smears the detail so much, maybe it could be fixed?
I tried to rule out user error on my side by trying out the official opencv example (OpenCV: samples/cpp/stitching_detailed.cpp) with various parameters and I can’t reach the results given by Multiblend.
)!
I have already tested one approach and it seems to work, so it should be ready by then.
