Hi, Yuv, I have reported CPfind experience in my last email.
"I have tried CPfind. It worked great for two projects. It added CPs for 217 images in 1008 seconds. I used default 10 cp settings. It even added its max 50 cps per image to these 217 images in very short time. But I dont know why its not working like that now for even smaller number of images. It goes on iterating again and again. Than keep displaying strategies and than back to iteration process. My previous experience with autopano sift c is somewhat same. It also keeps iterating even if you leave it for 24 hours. I have tested Can anyone, explain how CPfind works. I have allowed CPfind to work for hours but it keeps iterating. " It's good that we can discuss at least one CPgenerator here and i.e. CPfind. Please! Read my email and help me. My second question is....Control point generation is most important part of panorama creation. So Why we cant work or discuss over it? When we talk about PTgui, Autopano or other commercial softwares, we assume its a full package and CP generation is part of it.I am not into comparisons here but you will admit CP generation is essential part of Panorama creation softwares.
