PPM tools from mhr

I opened a new topic to have a unique place for my PPM tools.

ppmunwarp is described in http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... =19&t=2589.
ppmwhitebalance is described in http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... =19&t=2891.

This is version 1.6 of the tool chain:
ppm_rose_tools_v1.6.zip

Starting with version 1.6 there is a third tool ppmrectlist in this tool set,
which is described in detail in the tutorial http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... =19&t=2916.

Thanks again for the updates! I really need to try them out!!!

What I really wish I could find is a really large gray card so I don't have to worry about the crop issue. I love the idea of having something that can help with uneven lighting. I may just try some poster board and just do the math to figure out its exact colors ater calibrating with one of the small cards I have.

Anyone know of a source of gray cards that would be platen-sized? The biggest I know are about 8"x10."

Hi
I compiled this before, but i have reinstalled Linux in another machine and I don't know how to do it now

I downloaded ppm_rose_tools_v1.6.zip
Source code of version 1.6 of ppm_rose_tools

Extracted all the files (is it important the folder where I extract them?)
I wrote in a terminal (as superuser)
g++ -o ppmunwarp ppmunwarp.cc

and i got this error message

Pablitoclavito,

MHR has simplified the building process since there are now three different programs to compile. Just run the command:
make

That will build all the binaries. You can then put them where you want or you can run "make install" which will put them in MHR's default.

If you run into other issues compiling software, I wrote a post-install script in another thread that you could use or just read the appropriate sections as a guide. It's commented well-enough. (I need to update it to reflect the changes in spreads, but I'd rather wait until closer to release)

Thank you for your prompt response

I could compile ppmunwarp

Then proceeded to do a test with 2 photos+calibration photo.
But I ran your script as I used to do and, again, I found that anything was done
(0 bytes calibration.bin and the preprocess.log file, but no resulting calibrated photos)

The first failure is that it's not calibrating properly. From what I can see, it's trying to convert JPG (case sensitive) to ppm files. At the end of the script, it deletes the PPM files, so the first thing I'd check is that it is actually making those conversions in the first place etiher by commenting out the cleanup section or just watching the file manager when you run the script. Also check the name of the calibration image. It's looking for calibration.JPG. If you are doing it differently, change the configuration as appropriate.

If it isn't an issue with the file name or a failure of imagemagick (check that it's installed too), it wouid be better to continue this discussion in the thread for the script rather than hijacking this one.
