TheoRi, I like this idea. Maybe you should open a separate thread in Avisynth usage section.

However, nobody seems to have a solution "ready to use" for your problem. Maybe this can help - not tested.

a = your first clip
b = your second clip


c = Interleave(a, b)

# tweak the darker and the brighter clip (play with a_cont, b_cont, may be different thresholds)
# so, that the results are similar as possible
# (special clip borrowed from Fred)
# maybe you need .converttoYv12() before tweak
a_ref = a.tweak(cont=a_cont).MT_binarize(threshold=80).greyscale().invert()
b_ref = b.tweak(cont=b_cont).MT_binarize(threshold=80).greyscale().invert()
c_ref = Interleave(a_ref, b_ref).crop(32, 24, -32, -24)


# calculate stabilization data
mdata = DePanEstimate(c_ref,trust=1.0,dxmax=20,dymax=20)


# stabilize
c_stab = DePanInterleave(c, data=mdata)


# Select the required frames
# may be you have to crop the borders (consider aspect ration)
b_stab = c_stab.SelectEvery(6, 2)
a_stab = a


Good Luck! If it works show a sample.

I've taken two differently exposed photos of a scene and wanted to join them.
After spending two hours learning how to use GIMP and googling for plugins, I can't seem to get satisfactory results. Then I remembered this thread.
I still use GIMP to align the photos perfectly, but the fusing is done so much better here in Avisynth. Could you make this work with (or at least output) stacked 16-bit clips?

This might be the wrong place to ask, but is there a similar plugin for GIMP that I just fail to find?

Is there a standard format that everyone uses for that kind of clip?

Not really for RGB. Currently the Dither tools can handle fake RGB48 clips by separating the R, G and B channels and storing them into the luma planes of 3 Y(UV) stack16 clips (top part of the picture with upper 8 bits, bottom part with the lower 8 bits). Pretty awkward… I’m currently thinking about implementing 16-bit 3D-LUTs in these Dither tools but haven’t made up my mind about which format to use for RGB48.

Nothing official, but "everyone" uses stacked MSB/LSB (most/least significant bits) format. The image is truncated to 8-bit, and the discarded 8 bits are displayed (mostly garbage-looking) stacked below it. RGB48 is still a bit awkward, but it works.

Check out the "dither" package of plugins and scripts.

Should the output sometimes have pixel values outside of the input range?
For example, one exposure with white clouds and another with a completely overexposed and white sky will occasionally output ugly dark spots in those clouds.

That shouldn't happen - all values should be clipped before output. Can you post a screenshot or some sample files?

Didn't find the cloud example, but here's a frame (cropped) with snowy mountains.
edit: actually the cloud is also a bit darker, but not as noticeably as it sometimes is (or as the snow).

http://ajpanton.se/light.png
http://ajpanton.se/dark.png
http://ajpanton.se/fuse.png

Code:
a = imagesource("light.png",end=0,pixel_type="rgb32")
b = imagesource("dark.png",end=0,pixel_type="rgb32")

m = fusemask(a,b,.5)
fuse(a,b,m)

interleave(a,b,last)

I think that's a side effect of the process - at the lowest level, the darker parts of the mountain in the dark image have blurred into the problem area, decreasing its brightness, and there isn't enough "detail" to bring it back up to white when the pyramid gets collapsed.

Please download this new DLL and try:

Code:
fuse(a,b,m,clamp=true)

Thanks, now it works.
But if this shouldn't happen, simply clamping the output feels like an ugly workaround for a bug in the algorithm. Or maybe that's how it's supposed to work?

It's not really a bug, just an undesirable consequence of the maths. Now with an undesirable fix

I've used this a lot recently for photos since I just like its results better than anything else.
However, using it for (hi-res) panoramas is quite taxing on RAM. Could you make a 64-bit version of this?

I've never compiled a 64 bit plugin before, but this seems to work:

http://horman.net/fusionx64.zip

Avisynth isn't really an ideal way to be fusing panoramas, though, and one day I intend to write a fuser to complement multiblend.

A replacement for enfuse used by Hugin would be great, as that's the program/GUI I use to stitch the panoramas together into two different exposures, as well as align single bracketed photos.
I don't like enfuse's results, so I always import the aligned photos/panos into Avisynth for this plugin.

The 64-bit version works, thanks. 64-bit Avisynth is a bit buggy though when I try to preview the fuse in lower res, but at full res it's fine.

Another weird behavior that I'm wondering about...

Threshold set to
1.00, 0.70, 0.65, 0.00
(The 0.00 and 1.00 are basically just the original images.)

You can see that when the sky starts to fill up, it does so in segments and leaves noticeable edges, and the fact that they are so grid-like with straight lines and straight edges makes them look very artificial. Can this be avoided?

Fusion cheats a little by using a very simple, very fast, but discontinuous function for downsizing/upsizing - I think what you're seeing is the result of that. Enfuse uses a slower but continuous function, so probably wouldn't exhibit this effect (or not to this degree).

Limiting the number of levels might help, but I don't seem to have included that parameter during the rewrite. You could try the old version for now.

@davidhorman

I'm just wondering what's the recommended (latest) version?

fusion.zip is dated 2012-09-24
fusion2.zip is dated 2011-11-31

The first post says that fusion2.zip is the latest version? Is that correct?

It looks like I overwrote fusion.zip when I wrote this post, so that's the one to use. I've deleted fusion2.zip.

Ok, thanks. Out of curiosity what does the clamp really parameter do? I really can't see a difference between true or false.
