Perhaps a ray of hope: if one could prevent (or delete) control points from being generated in featureless images, then those portion of the images that have pre-set pitch & yaw would -- I presume! -- be calculated relative to whatever image is set as the position anchor? (and thus basically fit with the rest of the images). [Aside: I guess this is why at one point I was thinking it might be good to create control points based on geometry, and then the optimization process would treat the featureless images the same as any other.] Thinking about all this has led me to yet another question regarding the setting of pitch and yaw values to "place" a featureless image: is there an implied "distance" value applied to the pitch & yaw? I.e. pitch and yaw values without some distance from a viewing location don't fully specify the relationship between images -- right? > Interpolating positions for unconnected photos after optimisation > will work if there is no other way to it, however this tool doesn't > exist yet - This would be a nice thing to write as a python plugin. > > -- > Bruno Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
