Thanks for the info Thomas. It works very well for me when using the standalone PTOptimizer.exe and locking pitch/roll. The reason for this is probably that the yaw is the last transform applied to the camera, and you do not really need to pre-adjust the other axes as long as they are constant with respect to the axis of rotation. My goal is to make a geographically correct panorama that can be used as a ground truth and calibrate other cameras against. Using this method I get a very exact representation of the surrounding view. After this procedure the only remaining uncertainty is to adjust the horizon, but that is easily done from within Hugin.
