I've been using the trunk version of hugin with the layout code (which is very nice for mosaics which I mostly do) but I've noticed that the optimzer sometimes doesn't work correctly. Even with good control points it'll place images in the wrong areas. I first noticed it on smaller stitches of 7-8 images, it would always be the last or next to last image in the series that wouldn't be placed correctly. For stitches with more images it seems to be various ones in the set. Here's a screen shot of the fast preview to show what I'm talking about:
http://www.bluelavalamp.net/hugin/after_optimize.jpg The top image was made using hugin version 2009.4.0.4742. After detecting the control points I went and reset everything in the "Camera and Lens" tab. Then I ran the optimizer using the "Positions (incremental" setting. That gave me a max error of 18.548. Opened the fast preview, used identify to show the 3rd to last image in the set - placement is pretty good. Save the .pto file. Then I open the saved .pto file in hugin version 2010.1.0.4834. I run optimizer again using the "Positions (incremental" setting. This time it comes up with a max error of 135.164 and the lens parameter "View" is changed for some of the lenses even though those parameters are not marked to be optimized. Open the fast preview, use identify on the same image as above and the result is the bottom image. Has anyone else had problems with the optimizer on the layout branch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
