I was under the impression that celeste was for cloud based areas. To test this theory, I turned celeste on (images below) and re-ran the images. Same result. Could celeste be used elsewhere? Should it be re-named on the preferences? Was control point cleansing broke out of Hugin and placed in it's own module? http://www.tatteredmoons.org/hugin/screenshots/Screenshot-8.png http://www.tatteredmoons.org/hugin/screenshots/Screenshot-9.png Moreover, one of the reasons I turn celeste off is because I do a lot cloud photos (storms and such). I have to move quickly to get the clouds in action and previously was able to produce a wonderful set of cloud type of photos http://www.tatteredmoons.org/pano/20080608-14/20080610-coming_storm.jpg and others. > Because of the symmetry/similarity autopano-sift-c finds wrong > control points, you just have to help it.

Roll angle has been an issue for a while. Hugin turns photos every which way. > My guess is that there are control points between images 1 and 5/6 > and > or 2 and 5/6.

Why did the same control point detector (unless AutopanoPro has made their own enhancements) make inappropriate matches in Hugin and not the other program? From what I can determine, prior to alignment/optimization (looking into the difference of the two currently) the points seem to match well, it's only during/after alignment/optimization that matches are messy. In regards to symmetrical, isn't the point of a ACPD to find those differences? Wouldn't program A and program B using the same ACPD have the same issues? The symmetrical point is a valid issue as there are other similarities in photos such as patterns, colors, etc (carpets, buildings). This has plagued me for some time. ----- I've enjoyed using Hugin in the past 3-4 years. It's done really well when it's worked. Sometimes though I feel like I'm wrestling a tiger. Often I'll test against other stitching programs. Recently I've been using other stitching programs to see how "off" the stitch may be, because they are able to put together a preview, and faster. Many times Hugin simply can't put the thing together. Only then, if I like what I see in the preview of another program, do i make an attempt to use Hugin. I would prefer to just use Hugin as it's open source and GPL. I have other test cases which I can zip and have for preview (by request) if some test cases are needed to help iron out the issues. I can post the results from Hugin as well as other programs within the zip as well. For what it's worth, I did also try Pablo's Patent Free ACPD. The results were the same, which makes me think the problem is within the optimization algorithm. No?
