Hello! I am a senior computer engineering major working on my senior design project in image stitching. For this project I am working with stitching hundreds of rice field images with GPS metadata included. I have decided to give PanoTools a shot for stitching these images, and have made a prototype script for stitching 2 images together. Here you can see the prototype BASH script:
pto_gen -o to_stitch.pto -p 0 -f 10 $1 $2 > autopano-sift-c output.pto to_stitch.pto > pto_var --opt y,p,r -o output2.pto output.pto > autooptimiser -n -o output3.pto output2.pto > autooptimiser -m -o output4.pto output3.pto > pano_modify -o output5.pto --center --straighten --canvas=AUTO --crop=AUTO > output4.pto > echo "optimiser done, see optimised.pto. creating make" > pto2mk -o output.pto.mk -p output_stuff output5.pto > echo "done creating make, see final. now making." > make -f output.pto.mk Using this script I am able to successfully stitch two rice field images left to right. The problem comes when I rotate each of them 90 degrees. It seems that autopano-sift-c can't find control points vertically. It is my understanding that SIFT algorithm alone should be able to identify control points, but I'm guessing this implementation must have been optimised for panoramas. So my question: Does anyone know a way to get autopano-sift-c to detect keypoints vertically? If not, is there another keypoint finder I should look into? Also if you see anything in this script that looks dumb or unnecessary please let me know.
