Hi Folks,
I am not sure whether this is the place to raise this or whether it is
something that has previously already been thoroughly discussed ...
but something that seems to me to be a good idea has just occurred to
me.  So I will raise it and see if anyone cares for the idea.

I am working on a panorama  - I have just spend 20 minutes moving
control points (generated by Auto-panosift-C)  from clouds to roof-
tops.  As I was doing so an idea struck me.

When I am working on a panorama of an urban landscape,  by hand, I
would put most of the control points on straight edges.  So if I could
tell the auto-control-point generator that it is an urban landscape
then it could search for edges find the edges that are on straight
lines and give priority to those straight-edges as locations for
control points.  That way the control points are more likely to be on
buildings and other constructed features and less likely to be on a
cloud, a tree or the over-cropped coat of a passing poodle.

In a rural landscape straight-edges might not be so helpful.  In that
case colour might be a better guide ... but even in a rural landscape
there may be fence posts, telephone poles and occasional buildings.

So I suppose my suggestion would be to have an option or preference
through which one could encourage the auto-control-point generators to
prioritise  straight edges for control points.

George
