The four main programs you need to use to assemble such image sets are estpchirp2m, pintegrate, pchirp2nocrop, and cement (Computer Enhanced Multiple Exposure Numerical Technique).
The programs use the ``isatty'' feature of the C programming language to provide documentation which is accessed by running them with no command line arguments (e.g. from a TTY) to get a help screen. The sections for each program give usage hints where appropriate. Future versions will support the ``pipe'' construct (e.g. some programs may be used without command line arguments but will still do the right thing in this case rather than just printing a help message).
The first program you need to run is estpchirp2m, which estimates coordinate transformation parameters between pairs of images. These ``chirp'' parameters are sets of eight real-valued quantities which indicate a projective (i.e., affine plus chirp) coordinate transformation on an image.
The images are generally numbered sequentially, for example, v000.ppm, v001.ppm,... v116.ppm (e.g. for an image sequence with 117 pictures in it).
After you run estpchirp2m on all successive pairs of input images in the sequence, the result will be a set of sets of eight numbers, in ASCII text, one set of numbers per row of text (the numbers separated by white space). The number of lines in the output ASCII text file will be one less than the total number of frames in the input image sequence. For example, if you have a 117-frame sequence (e.g. image files numbered v000.ppm to v116.ppm), there will be 116 lines of ASCII text in the output file from estpchirp2m.
The first row of the text file (e.g. the first set of numbers) indicates the coordinate transformation between frame 0 and frame 1; the second row, the coordinate transformation between frame 1 and frame 2, \ldots A typical filename for these parameters is ``parameters\_pairwise.txt''
These pairwise {\em relative} parameter estimates are then to be converted into ``integrated'' {\em absolute} coordinate transformation parameters (e.g. coordinate transformations with respect to some selected `reference frame'). This conversion is done by a program called pintegrate.
This program takes as input the filename of the file containing parameters from the ASCII text file produced by estpchirp2m (e.g. ``parameters\_pairwise.txt'' and a `reference frame' (specified by the user), and calculates the coordinate transformation parameters from each frame in the image sequence to this specified `reference frame'.
The output of pintegrate is another ASCII text file which lists the set of chirp parameters (again, 8 numbers per chirp parameter, each set of 8 numbers in ASCII, on a new row of text), this time one parameter per frame, designed to be used in order. That is, the first row of the output text file (first set of 8 real numbers) provides the coordinate transformation from frame 0 to the reference frame, the second from frame 1 to the reference frame\ldots
The program called pchirp2nocrop takes the ppm or pgm image for each input frame, together with the chirp parameter for this frame % from pintegrate, and `dechirps' it (applies the coordinate transformation to bring it into the same coordinates as the reference frame). Generally the parameters passed to pchirp2nocrop are those which come from pintegrate (e.g. {\em absolute} parameters, not relative parameters). The output of pchirp2nocrop is another ppm or pgm file.
The program called cement (CEMENT is an acronym for Computer Enhanced Multiple Exposure Numerical Technique.) assembles the dechirped images (which have been processed by pchirp2nocrop) and assembles them onto one large image `canvas'.
KYLE (speaking in Marklar's language):...I think I can explain this whole thing. Marklar, these marklars want to change your marklar. They don't want this marklar or any of these marklars to live here, because it's bad for their marklar. They use marklar to try and force marklars to believe their marklar. If you let them stay here, they will build marklars and marklars. They will take all your marklars and replace them with marklar. So, they must come here, to Marklar. Please, let these marklars stay where they can grow and prosper, without any marklars, marklars, or marklars!

Nope, because Australia doesnt air something like that
Funny thing is here in Brazil they normally don't either, but this once it will happen! It will even after malcom here too (but we don't have x-files on sundays (sigh!))

It sure would bring a whole new meaning to the words "dead battery".
And to juice a brick! too.
Scientists say 50 grammes of sugar would keep a 40-watt light bulb lit for eight hours.
Now snif, snif, I can finally take that road trip with only a laptop and 200 liters of soda that I always dreamed of!!
if only they make a satellite dish that works on pickled weiners...

Two years ago we were using homesite (4.2) for our HTML/ASP needs..
:)
Problem was: homesite doesnt as much as leak memory, it bleeds it... a lot!
Instead of rebooting the machines (they were 64Mb with Win98) every 2 hours or so we decided to create an in-house editor.
The major feature we wanted was suport for some brief-likeness
That was 1 year ago and we all devoted some spare time to the project.
But now the editor (dubed ProEd) is quite mature and I think that it should be set free (as in speech), or at least free (as in beer)
Ive lost my keys.
Do you know where I left them?
just name them all Marklar
