I'd be think it's more liable that Hugin or Image-Exif Tool is not properly interpreting the orientation. Something's wrong
Which brings me back to "pattern matching". In life we know an elephant is an elephant weather it be pink, white blue or grey. It's a pattern we recognize. Looking at a set of photos we can visually match up what goes where not based on control points but based on patterns. These patterns are made up of colors, shapes, and area. Is there "matching" software in the community that could be integrated into hugin that would look at these options. Then if there were real control point errors of outrageous amounts, the program would know it was wrong.

Assuming that the display is only cosmetic, why is the right side of the pano flipped upside down and the left side the correct orientation? I assume it's because of the one image. The problem is, while this pano is a fairly simple error problem, other panos will get images flipped every which direction. Is the automatic point control really this bad (ie, autopano-sift-c)?
