Timing panel
The timing panel shows the number of seconds spent on various The Panorama Factory tasks. The purposes of this panel are:
- To help the The Panorama Factory developers figure out what performance tuning tasks are worth pursuing.
- To permit you to be precise when complaining about how blankety-blank slow The Panorama Factory is! ;-)
The timing panel offers the following controls:
| Reset | Resets the timers to zero. |
The timing panel measure the following times:
| Total | Total time for panoramic stitching tasks. |
| Read | Reading .tiff image files. |
| Crop | Trimming imported images and cropping other images. Sorry, these times are not accumulated separately. |
| Warp | Warping trimmed images according to the focal length prior to alignment them. |
| Resample | Resampling warped images to have a convenient width and height for alignment. |
| Decimate | Low-pass filtering during alignment and image resizing. Sorry, these times are not accumulated separately. |
| Align | Panoramic alignment – low resolution. |
| Final align | Panoramic alignment – high resolution. |
| Fine tune | Image fine tuning (de-ghosting). |
| Render | Drawing warped images into the panoramic image. |
| Render blend | Drawing overlap regions into the panoramic image. |
| Fine tune focal | Fine tuning focal length value. |
