Cool idea?

JamesS — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Out of interest - what would be the likelyhood / possibility of adding some of the code from groupshot?

That could yield some pretty interesting results in terms of nailing composites together - being able to remove the people from a street scene for example without having to do it manually would be pretty cool!

Same problem - composites once, then no more.

I have the same problem listed in the FAQs as being fixed.

It successfully compostited and exported the first time. Now it hangs when joining just two images. Sometimes it nearly finishes and shows the joined images, but then hangs.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled.

Oh, and this is on Windows 7.

Re: Using ICE from command line

ADYork — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:00:00 GMT

I was wondering what the status of ICE from the command line is. I would love to use it to stitch together images of the ocean floor. I've used the ICE version 1.2 release and it does a pretty good job of stitching together our images. But I really would love to use the command line to specify input images and output format etc.

Re: Tif files saved with ICE can't be read by other tools

burianek — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Is this bug solved already? I have the same problem. I tried to make 2Gpixel picture using Microsoft ICE (by stitching ~ 500 images in grid topology, I have robotic head GigaPan). It succeed in solution and saving. I choose TIFF in 100% size. It produces 8.6GB TIFF file (it is ~standard for Gigapixel pictures, no surprice :D), but I cannot open this file. I tried to use various 'standard' tools for Gigapixel pictures (XnView, ImageMagic, IrfanView, GIMP, ...) but file is not readable. Even File properties are strange, it does not contain any information about resolution. Real resolution for this picture is 98481x22367 (it was reported by ICE during saving procedure). I use 64-bit version of ICE and I run Windows Vista 64-bit with 8GB memory... It is not HW or OS problem. It has to be some problem in ICE... :( Please help, Jan Burianek [BURSOFT(c)] Czech Republic P.S. It is sad because I love ICE. It is so fast and results are so nice. Please please please MS experts/developers solve this problem for Gigapixel community... JB

minor issue concerning .dib file name extension

dirkh — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Hi,

captured some photos with Vidcap (from MS). Vidcap saves still images in .dib format.

ICE shows them in the "add sources images" dialog, but immediately after opening them brings an error message

(unable to stitch any of the...).

Remembering that .dib and .bmp are two extensions for the same file format, i renamed *.dib to *.bmp.

Now ICE processed all files making a fine panorma.

But that does not bother me further, very nice program indeed.

best regards

Dirk

Dosn't stitch 2 photos in a 21 photo stitch!

Wilfred Knievel — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 06:00:00 GMT

First off I really like ICE, have managed a few complicated stitches and it's always managed to stitch them really quickly and accurately. However have a set of 21 pics from the inside of a building that has two photos that won't quite stitch. There is quite a large overlap but I think the angles might be a bit funny on one and the other is a little zoomed in. Was wondering if you would like a copy of the photo's to help improve the engine?

What to do when the overlap is small?

pavel — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Hello.
I started some experiments with the ICE and it seems providing quite impressive results when the image overlap is quite large (20-30%) and enough unique features. I tested it with up to 60 images up to now and it works pretty well.
I have problems with the images when the overlap is about 10% and/or when the images have repetitive pattern like grid or almost no pattern at all.
Is it possible to help somehow the ICE with the stitching in the case it rejects some files and reports errors? The Photoshop has something like that for the Photomerge for example. It is possible to enter the expected position(s) manually in such situations.
Thank you for your support,
Pavel

Using ICE from command line

Mahmoud — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Hi All,

Simply, I want to use ICE from the command line.

As far as i understand, “ICE.exe img1 img2 img3 img4” creates an ICE project and stitches the images and display the output in the program UI too. Then I have to save the whole project, and open it as XML.

Is there a way to create the spj file, or even the output image, without havung to deal with the GUI?

Thank you,

Mahmoud

Deep Zoom Tileset export gives an error in IE7

priit — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Hi,
If exporting a panorama from ICE to Deep Zoom Tileset, it finishes the export and opens IE7 and loads the page with home, zoom in/out controls, but no panorama and it contains the following error:

The script element with ID 'dzxmlembed' does not contain a valid HD View XML file.

My system is WinXPSP3 x86, IE7 (7.0.5730.11), Silverlight 2 RTW (2.0.31005.0), ICE 1.1r1

I've noticed that I get the same error while viewing the samples like:
http://research.microsoft.com/ivm/HDViewSL/Rainier360.html

I tested the official samples also on another machine: Vista SP1 x86, IE7 (7.0.6001.18000), Silverlight 2 RTW (2.0.31005.0), with the same results.

Any ideas what's causing this error?
Priit

Post Your ICE Panoramas Here

y0himba — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Have you created a panorama with ICE? Post a link here and show your masterpiece to the world. Remember, not everyone has a super fast broadband connection, and over time this thread can get bogged down with slow loading huge images, so let's create thumbnails, and link those to your off site panorama. ICE even creates the thumbnail for you, and there are MANY free image hosts.

First, create your panorama using ICE.
Check the box under 'Export' labeled 'Create JPEG Thumbnail'
Set the size of the thumbnail to '200', the default 100 is too small IMHO
Export your panorama and thumbnail
Insert your thumbnail into your message using the green tree icon here in the compose message window
Click the inserted thumbnail to select it, then click the chain icon here in the compose window, not the broken chain icon.
Fill in the blanks, and you are set!
