[Bug 487012] New: Hugin fails because package autopano-sift-c is not available
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487012 Summary: Hugin fails because package autopano-sift-c is not available Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: colAflash@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009022800 SUSE/3.0.7-1.1.6 Firefox/3.0.7 The panorama photo tool hugin (available in oss repo) does not work correctly when pressing the button for automatically finding control points. In german the button is called "Ausrichten" (the button with the number 2 on the assistant/wizard tab). It's because the binary autopano-sift-c is not installed. Could it be integrated into the oss repo and set as dependency for hugin? At the moment it's just available at packman. autopano-sift-c belongs to the hugin project and is available at the hugin homepage http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ If it is not in the oss repo because of license reasons, could you please implement some kind of warning like "Hey user, if you want to use autofinding matching points install autopano-sift-c from packman repo. Please check licensing issues for your country." Thanks!!!! colAflash Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start hugin 2. Load some images 3. click on the button number 2 (german "Ausrichten") Actual Results: Operations fails, because binary autopano-sift-c is not installed. Expected Results: Hugin automatically finds matching points between single images for the panorama. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If starting the described function in hugin it displays this message for the functionality provided by autopano-sift-c. ------------------------------- The use of this software is restricted by certain conditions. See the "LICENSE" file distributed with the program for details. The University of British Columbia has applied for a patent on the SIFT algorithm in the United States. Commercial applications of this software may require a license from the University of British Columbia. ------------------------------- So maybe this is why autopano-sift-c it's not in the oss repo. But please put there some kind of message, when hugin is being started or even better some dialog in the yast software management, similar to that when installing adobe flash or java, so the user can decide if he's ok with the licensing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Another option: Implement dummy (error message only) autopano and set the autopano-dummy as default in preferences. It could say: "Autopano tool is not installed or defined in preferences. You have to align images manually." But I guess we cannot legally recommend patent encumbered package from Packman. All open source packages known to me use patented SIFT algorithm: autopano, autopano-sift and autopano-sift-c.
