Some notes I wrote on this eleven!! years ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/brunopostle/5830006193/
Shooting from the same distance is useful, as is shooting perpendicular to the surface/wall. Though shooting from an oblique angle where necessary is ok, probably this would be better if this is consistent, i.e. turn to the left at the left end of a row, straight forward towards the middle and turn to the right towards the right end. Most important is to catch openings in one shot, or if the opening/road/alley is too wide then the multiple shots need to be from a single location (like a 'normal' panorama). The same for any features that are out of plane such as roofscapes above or trees in the foreground. Control points need to be entirely in the same physical plane, you will need to manually delete any that are not. This whole technique only works where the buildings closely follow the road edge. You need to assign the centre photo as the 'anchor', Hugin doesn't automatically do this for the mosaic XYZ parameters, so you will need to use the Optimiser tab and select parameters to optimise rather than using the Assistant tab. Use Rectilinear format for the output. Optimise XYZ for all photos except the anchor, optimise rpy for all photos. Though unless you have vertical/horizontal control points you will need to fix roll for the anchor. Optimisation of XYZ mosaic parameters is not as stable as a 'normal' panorama, if you have problems, work your way out from the middle anchor photo, adding photos one at a time to the optimisation and adding/deleting control points as necessary. -- 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.
