Thank you very much for this in-depth explanation. One aspect I wasn't 100% sure about and which your explanation seems to confirm, is that if you shoot your photos on a tilted plane like this (brown=earth, blue=sky) : [Screenshot_2024-05-17_16-02-20.jpg] then the Straighten button should produce a panorama with a tilted horizon like this : [Screenshot_2024-05-17_16-04-24.jpg] However, if you shoot while keeping the horizon level, even if you tilt each photo up or down (drawing a cone shape with your camera) like this : [Screenshot_2024-05-17_16-09-56.jpg]
and if for some reason your first geometric optimization in Hugin produces a tilted result like this (which happens to me sometimes) : [Screenshot_2024-05-17_16-11-34.jpg] then the Straighten button should level the horizon but not move the photo centers on the equator of the sphere (thus keeping the "conical" tilt of your shoot) : [Screenshot_2024-05-17_16-11-54.jpg] To my experience and understanding of your explanation, this is how it behaves and what makes the most sense to me. -- 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.
