There is a correct fov for each image (assuming it was taken with a camera, rather than a scanner). Giving it an incorrect low fov for each image can solve some problems. But it does create other problems, so I don't think you should leap to that choice so quickly. The fov of each image together with the way they connect gives you the field of view of the entire panorama. So I don't think anything useful could be accomplished by setting the panorama fov low relative to the value accumulated from stitching.
I haven't read this thread carefully enough to be sure, but I think you are doing the optimize step without enabling translationX to be changed. But in taking the photographs, translationX is the primary change. I think you should use expert mode and redo the optimization (from a reset state) with just tx, ty and tx enabled (yaw, pitch and roll disabled). Once that is approximately correct, optimize again from that stating point also enabling yaw, pitch, roll and maybe other parameters. Once you have good parameters, to get a more realistic fit of control points, I'm not sure what to do with projection issues. I expect you'll still have projection issues. But I think the path forward will be easier once the tx values are reasonable. -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
