Thanks, find_best_seam() breaks because it is fed the wrong bottom edge:

Also we unnecessarily use four tile columns instead of three:

With that fixed, your test case succeeds.
Unfortunately, just adding rotate=90 makes it hang again. I'll
investigate.

Yes, this makes sense to me. If we merge the mem2mem driver before the
image-convert changes go in, it should be limited to 1024x1024 output,
but if we manage to merge both parts in the same cycle, this should be
fine.

The hardware limits us to restart linear sampling at zero with each
tile, so find_seams() tries to find the (horizontal and vertical) output
positions where the corresponding input sampling positions are closest
to integer values.
The distance between the ideal fractional input sampling position and
the actual integer sampling position that can be achieved is the amount
of distortion we have to introduce (by slightly stretching one input
tile and slightly shrinking the other) to completely hide the visible
seams.
find_best_seam() contains the code to find the left (or top) edge for a
single column (or row) that minimizes this distortion, given the right
(or bottom) edge, scaling factor, alignment restrictions, and allowed
range. The range is limited by the maximum tile width (or height).
find_seams() first iterates over all columns, right to left, and calls
find_best_seam() for each column. Each found seam then serves as the
right edge of the next column. Then it iterates over all rows, bottom to
top, again calling find_best_seam() for each row.
The reason we start at the bottom/right edges is that we have to make
sure that burst size / rotator block size align with the bottom/right
edge of the output frame.

Philipp
