I may be wrong, it has been a while. The panotools/Hugin lens model does have a couple of flaws: the a & c parameters have an odd number power, whereas usually only even number powers are used for lens models (which is why we generally recommend starting with just the b parameter); the angle of view parameter is locked to the width of the image, but the lens correction parameters are scaled to the narrowest dimension of the image (which is the height for landscape shots and the width for portrait shots), the result is that you can't reuse the same parameters for landscape/portrait images. These have never been fixed because it would break existing PTO projects and they don't cause any problems in practice. >> The idea of optimising a merged project to get more accurate lens >> parameters should work.

To the optimiser, the d & e parameters resemble the TrX and TrY parameters at the small scale, so sometimes you can get strange results mixing them. -- Bruno -- 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.
