Hello, That all makes some sense. I can't seem to make it fix the roll and pitch at zero successfully during optimization.
I'm setting the fast preview mode to Mosaic plane - is that proper? I ask because the python script stitch-scanned-images.py which one can find on github constructs a .pto that seems to use Panosphere. I'm now setting the first cols of the optimize panel to unchecked and zero for yaw and pitch and leaving the roll free (checked). The script (edit prior to optimize lets me look) seems to have sane vars viz Tx Ty and r for each image. I must be blundering some place else as it keeps saying Panorama must have positive height. I think this is from the "batch" side of things during optimization. I only get the option to set these things if I select Custom on the geometric optimization pull down. Is that the place to set the vars to participate in optimization? Thanks again for all the help. jc On Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at 9:47:04 AM UTC-6, Bruno Postle wrote: > > > > On 19 February 2019 22:59:18 GMT, jim cullen wrote: > > > >I use Equirectangular and Mosaic.
