Equidist to hemispherical project

Dear community,

As the attached image shows, I was trying to transform equidistant fisheye image into hemispherical image, then it shows: bad view file, and the size of image_out.hdr is 0.

Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks!

What does “getinfo image_in.hdr” give you?

Thanks Greg,

It shows:
0

OK, so that’s your problem – the HDR file doesn’t have a VIEW line in the header, so it’s not a valid view file, nor a valid input to pinterp.

You can add a basic view, which might be appropriate for a 180° fisheye lens using:

getinfo -a “VIEW= -vta -vh 180 -vv 180” < image_in.hdr > image_mod.hdr

then use “image_mod.hdr” in place of “image_in.hdr” in your command.

P.S. If the getinfo -a command gives you an error, then you need a more recent installation of Radiance.
