Welcome to the Stitching with Hugin lesson — your step-by-step guide to assembling high-resolution panoramas from images captured with the Archimedes scanner.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use the free and open-source Hugin panoramic software to seamlessly stitch together overlapping images from your Archimedes scans. We’ll walk you through the entire process — from importing your photos and aligning control points to optimizing and exporting the final stitched result.
Whether you’re documenting large surfaces, preparing data for further analysis, or creating detailed visualizations, this lesson will help you harness Hugin to turn multiple images into accurate, smooth panoramas.
Learn Technical Photography for Art Examination
Technical Photography is one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—tools for the scientific examination of art and archaeology. If you are a conservator, scientist, or art collector and you are not yet familiar with this method, it is truly a missed opportunity. Using simple, affordable equipment and a clear methodology, Technical Photography allows you to reveal underdrawings, retouchings, material differences, and conservation issues in a completely non-invasive way. Far from being complex or inaccessible, it is an easy entry point into scientific analysis. In many cases, Technical Photography represents the first essential step toward a deeper understanding of artworks and archaeological objects.
