Hello Paul,

I was a little surprised at the idea that Hugin could output a
panorama defined to be rectilinear but which would show with the
barrel distortion apparent in your stitch.

I attached my pto file as evidence in my defence :-)

So I tried converting your
output from all the list of allowable output formats to rectilinear.
Assuming the starting point was a fisheye seems to work well, at least
as far as the side (long) edges are concerned..  There was still
curvature in the top (short) edges, which I cured with a panini
general projection, adjusting the top and bottom sliders.  Whether the
horizontal/vertical aspect ratio is correct, I cannot say, but the
writing in the tables looks unstretched in either dimension as far as
one can see at the available resolution.  The pto file and output are
attached.  I chose an hfov of 59 degrees, but there may be a better
angle.

So my question would be, whatever you may have thought, did you
actually choose a rectilinear output projection?

My current pto is attached.


I don't find the rotation behaviour you mention surprising.  Surely,
optimising will allow the horizontal and vertical lines you have
defined to reassert themselves and undo your hand rotation.  The moral
would appear to be, either to swap all the horizontal and vertical
line-types, or, it that's too boring, to do all your optimisation
first and then rotate by hand, which is probably what you did.

No - since I wanted hugin to optmise "properly" I allowed it to move
the "anchor" image in YPR; in conjunction with H and V CP pairs,
this has always (up until now) worked well to regularise
images of 2D rectangular objects, compensating for the camera
either being off-centre, or pointing off centre.

I have successfully captured maps before using this approach
and am currently rather baffled as to my current failure.
