This 'multirow' option sounds like a big step in the right direction.
But perhaps it needs better publicity.
It needs testing and the wiki needs to be updated too.
I'm looking at a pretty recent Hugin build ( 2010.1.0.5063 ) and can't
see anything that looks like a "multirow panorama option". Should I?
In Preferences -> Control Point Detectors there should be an
'Autopano-SIFT-C (multirow/stacked)' option, if not then you might
have to 'Load Defaults'.
This is pre-configured to use generatekeys/autopano as a two-step
detector, and align_image_stack for stacks. You can change it to
autopano-sift-c or panomatic as a one-step detector, but this is
less efficient since features will be classified multiple times.
You should also be able to change it use a different two-step
detector such as Pablo's libpanomatic (untested).
How it works is by using various strategies to match just the
subsets of the photos that are extremely likely to overlap, then
merging the resulting projects. It doesn't require any user input,
you get very few 'bad' connections, it scales to any size of
project, and it supports real-world shooting situations:
- Zig-zagging rows (left-to-right, then right-to-left, etc...).
- Rows with different numbers of photos in each.
- Odd row ordering (middle-row, top-row, then bottom-row etc...).
The 'prealigned panorama' option is related, but available as a
separate type of control-point generator.
