# Hugin lensdb

From PanoTools.org Wiki

hugin_lensdb is a maintenance tool for Hugins camera and lens database.

The database is automatically filled when stitching a project file from Hugin. Entries can also manually added from Hugin and calibrate_lens_gui.

The information are used when adding image files to a project. Distortion and vignetting data can also manually loaded inside Hugin.
