I am about to visit a record office. Their rules
permit cameras, but not tripods (let alone pano heads!)

I wish to capture the image of some 18th c maps, which are large,
in good detail. The obvious strategy is to take multiple
shots and stitch, but the shots will all be taken from different
position and angles (since they'll be taken freehand).

But since the maps are 2D a stitch should still be possible.

I have tested this approach at home (cheating using a tripod!)
and a road atlas.

I took two photos at (fairly extreme) positions and angles
as test/proof of concept. To ensure worst case
testing the two shots were taken at different distances, and with
different zooms.

I have hand set 14 control points between these two images,
and set horiz and vert controls on 1 image.

I am simply failing to get a high quality stable stitch.

I thought the correct approach would be to "fix" the lens for
one image, and optimise for YPR *and* XYZ for both images.

This has simply failed.

I would welcome advice.
