About:
Hugin is a cross-platform open-source panoramic photo stitching tool. It provides a powerful GUI and command-line tools to combine overlapping images into seamless, high-resolution panoramas. Its key value is advanced control over alignment, exposure blending, and lens correction for professional-quality results.
Key Features:
  • Advanced control point detection and editing
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range) creation and tone mapping
  • Lens correction and distortion optimization
  • Batch processing via command-line tools (e.g., align_image_stack)
Use Cases:
  • Stitching multi-shot landscape photos into wide panoramas
  • Creating HDR images from bracketed exposures
  • Correcting lens distortion and chromatic aberration in photo sets
Alternatives:
  • Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE) – Proprietary and Windows-only; simpler to use but lacks Hugin's advanced control and HDR features.
  • PTGui – Commercial alternative with a streamlined workflow; Hugin is free and open-source with comparable core capabilities.
