[ptx] Re: Autopano-sift installation problems...

[paul vincent farrell]

Recommendation of sift-helper most appreciated,
however this is not working for me.  The script is
generated fine, but when run in the terminal I get
errors.

The first part of the terminal output is as follows:
SIFT Keypoint Generation


Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was
thrown by the type initializer for
System.Drawing.GDIPlus --->
System.DllNotFoundException:
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.1.9/lib/libgdiplus.dylib

filename)

followed by other similar errors.

I installed mono from the installer package and it all
seemed to be OK - no errors appeared.  

Any suggestions as to what is going wrong?

Thanks in advance....

Not a direct solution, but i wrote a GUI for using

helper-007.dmg.gz> (1MB)

This is a batch app - drop a load of folders (each
containing one  
pano-worth of images) onto the window and it will make
a batch script  
for the Terminal. Drop that script onto a Terminal
window and it will  
go through each folder finding control points and
making a Hugin  
project file in each folder.

The app is geared towards PTMac rather than Hugin, so
some of the  
advanced features like looking for missed seams don't
yet work  
properly on Hugin files.
