hugin batch processor stops after making pto

[Georg Lipps]

Hi,

I am working with the current RC1 (2015.0.0.d497c7fc1866) on Ubuntu 14.04.

My normal work flow is as follows:

- put all single images in folder
- start batch processer - look for pictures -start - select

In between there is the message: Assertion failed! ... /usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/strvararg.h(451): ....
Ok, I can click away that.

- I start the batch.
- First window opens: .....processing of pto file (pto file is saved)
- Second progress window opens (which should make the actual stiched panorama).

Nothing further happens, I cannot close or make any changes have to xkill everything.

Upon restarting the batcher withthe pto file. Image is made.

Greetings,

Georg

PS: The image preview after looking for single pictures in the folder is great !

I can confirm this problem. You need at least two unfinished projects in the queue. The first job actually finishes but 'ps faxww' shows
12888 ? Sl 0:10 \_ PTBatcherGUI
15465 ? Z 0:00 | \_ [enblend] <defunct>

The final lines in the log of the first job:

enblend: info: loading next image: 16597_3780-37890006.tif 1/1
enblend: info: loading next image: 16597_3780-37890007.tif 1/1

enblend: info: loading next image: 16597_3780-37890009.tif 1/1

The log file of the second job remains empty.

Point 1: I can't reproduce the debug assert mentioned. Can you post a backtrace for this debug assert?

Point 2: Concerning the hanging of PTBatcherGUI: I see this only on Linux and only with wxWidgets 3.x, but not with wxWidgets 2.8.12. Maybe a developer on Linux can help with this problem?

[Georg Lipps (georg-lipps)]

Hi tmodes,

Point 1: I do not understand.

Point 2: I am running ubuntu 14.04. Installed are wxWidgets 2.8.12 and 3.0. Hugin appears to use 3.0.

Greetings,

Georg

Point 1: I meant the complete text of the assert message, not only the begin/first line:
 /usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/strvararg.h(451): ..

[tmodes (tmodes)]

Concerning point 2: please test if changeset 7acabc8c42f6 fixes the issue.

[Stefan Peter (s-peter-deactivatedaccount)]

Hi Thomas

I checked 2015.1.0.7acabc8c42f6 (from the nightly builds PPA) on ubuntu trusty and the error seems to be fixed with that. Thanks!

With kind regards

Hi Thomas and Peter,

I am now on 2015.1.0.7acabc8c42f6:

Unfortunately it does not work correctly.

Here are the asserts fron phase I (finding pictures for panoramas):

/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/strvararg.h(451): assert "(argtype & (wxFormatStringSpecifier<T>::value)) == argtype" failed in wxArgNormalizer(): format specifier doesn't match argument type

/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/strvararg.h(451): assert "(argtype & (wxFormatStringSpecifier<T>::value)) == argtype" failed in wxArgNormalizer(): format specifier doesn't match argument type

../src/gtk/bitmap.cpp(258): assert "bitmap.GetDepth() == 1" failed in InitFromMonoBitmap(): Cannot create mask from colour bitmap
(3 times)

When starting the process of panorama making, there is a crash:

PTBatcherGUI -v
*** Caught unhandled unknown exception; terminating
17:30:34: Debug: The thread 0x7fa20d419700 is being destroyed although it is still running! The application may crash.

Again, for point 1 we need all information from the assert message box, not only the first line.

[tmodes (tmodes)]

Okay, I was able to fix some points in the meantime.

But for the assert error
../src/gtk/bitmap.cpp(258): assert "bitmap.GetDepth() == 1" failed in InitFromMonoBitmap(): Cannot create mask from colour bitmap
(3 times)
I need your image files. It seems that this error happens only with your images. I don't know what is special with your files. Can you provide a link to 2 image files where this assert happens?

Hi Thomas,

here is the first picture.

[Georg Lipps (georg-lipps)]

... and here the second.

Thanks.
Should be now fixed in repository and will be in release candidate 2, which will be released next weekend.

Hi Thomas,

with 2015.1.0.5f45958ae420 it worked like a charme. Thanks a lot.

One little question, how is the canvas size determined:

Bestmöglichen Beschnitt bestimmen...
Calculate optimal size of panorama
Setting canvas size to 5107 x 2620
Searching for best crop rectangle

From Hugin itself the optimal canvas size is much higer.

Greetings,

Georg

PS: I do see some error in the logs, but they do not seem to harm.

From Hugin itself the optimal canvas size is much higher.

By default the assistant scale the output to 70 % of the 1:1 size. The cause was discussed on the list.
You can change the value in the preferences, on the assistant tab.

I do see some error in the logs, but they do not seem to harm.

You added a pto into another pto file. Remove the pto from the project. The GUI prevents this (it shows an error message)
