This can happen if the EXIF is not recognized. In practice I think it works. If Hugin complains that the images don't have EXIF data, then that is the problem. Loading your images in Hugin gets them all upright, without errors. So the EXIF part is working fine. > Which brings me back to "pattern matching".

There are alternatives to autopano-sift-c, though none is foolproof (you could try MatchPoint for example). There are also lots of options for APSC: you can refine the control points, use RANSAC, etc. Then there are methods to take out the wrong control points, for example in the sky (Celeste, already included in Hugin). ptoclean (http://search.cpan.org/~bpostle/Panotools-Script-0.22/bin/ptoclean) does what you want as well. In the case of your images, I just did a new autopano-sift-c. The three wrong control points were found, but by looking at the list of control points sorted by size, and deleting them, it was fine. Deleting the control points with the largest error is not always the best approach. The technique ptoclean uses is much more subtle. > I'm using autopano-sift-c.

This inverts one of the images, and the others just follow. The other images have no way of knowing that they are upside down, since they are only connected to the image that gets flipped.
