Question

I’m generating panoramas using the command line versions of the Hugin toolset. At the execution of the script, all images are sorted into folders of n images that consist of a single panorama. Depending on the execution of the blend process, one of two filenames can result: pano.tif and pano_blended_fused.tif.

No matter which file is generated, I want to convert that one to a jpg and resize. My current code is

dirlist=$(find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d \( ! -name completed \) | sort -n)
for dir in $dirlist
do
    #pano generating gode goes here


  #Downsize and convert panorama
  #######################################################################
  tifImage=
  jpgImage=

  if [ -e "pano.tif" ]; then
    tifImage="pano.tif"
    jpgImage="pano.jpg"
    echo "Working on pano.tif"
    echo ""

  elif [ -e "pano_blended_fused" ]; then
    tifImage="pano_blended_fused.tif"
    jpgImage="pano_blended_fused.jpg"
    echo "Working on pano_blended_fused.tif"
    echo ""
  fi

  #convert pano to jpg and get count of images in photo folder
  echo ""
  echo "Converting $image to jpg and creating two versions"
  echo ""
  mogrify -format jpg $tifImage >> "$imagePath/$dir/log.txt"

  num=$(ls -l "$webPath/photos" | wc -l) 
  prefix=$((num+1))

  #convert full size pano to 1000 pixels high and rename with prefix number
  #move to /photos folder
  convert $jpgImage -geometry x1000 "$prefix-pano.jpg" >> "$imagePath/$dir/log.txt"
  mv "$prefix-pano.jpg" "$webPath/photos" >> "$imagePath/$dir/log.txt"

  #convert full size pano to 600 pixels wide and rename with prefix number
  #move to /thumbs folder
  convert $jpgImage -geometry 600x "$prefix-pano.jpg" >> "$imagePath/$dir/log.txt"
  mv "$prefix-pano.jpg" "$webPath/thumbs"  >> "$imagePath/$dir/log.txt"


done

I just did a batch of pictures last night, and of the 15 panoramas to be generated, only 9 made it to the destiniation folder. All others threw an error at the first convert command stating that it was missing an image filename n-pano.tif, when the $tifImage varuiable should have been pano_blended_fused.tif

What do I need to do so that the pano_blended_fused images can go through the conversion process?

Answer 1

You forgot to include the complete filename, the extension is missing:

elif [ -e "pano_blended_fused" ]; then

vs.

elif [ -e "pano_blended_fused.tif" ]; then

Therefore the variables were never changed and convert didn’t get what it wanted.
