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.
