versions prior to 4.0 had a completely different algorithm. If there was one mistake in the move from 3.x to 4.x, it was that the 4.x algorithm *replaced* the 3.x algorithm instead of complementing it (with an option to choose which one to run).
the current GSoC project on Enblend is adding modularity to enable multiple seam placement algorithms under the same code base. It will bring a new challenge (how to determine which one of the multiple choices of seams is the best one?) that is already being thought of. Maybe it is also an opportunity to resurrect the old 3.x algorithm as one of the many options - one that is obviously superior in the cases that trigger this error. as for the deliberate nature of the "questionable" behavior, have you tried to change the arbitrary threshold and see what happens? the changeset linked in comment #4 is very well documented. set overlap_threshold to 0 and run a test case against a recompiled version of enblend. please report interesting results here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Hugin Bug Hunters, which is subscribed to Enblend. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685893 Title: arbitrary stop errors because of excessive overlap Status in Enblend: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes enblend stops with error code 1 and a message "excessive overlap detected; remove one of the images". This behavior is arbitrary. F.e. a test project with 8 images all in the exact same place on an equirectangular canvas doesn't cause the error. The message is probably related to http://enblend.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/enblend/enblend/rev/5c2c0a81fcb3 enblend versions prior to 4.0 used to warn on redundant images and in fact version 4.0 still does f.e in case of the above mentioned project with 8 images.
