Hello Alex,Starting with the general question: For a general pano, the condition is that all images are takes from exactly the same spot. If the position changed between two images, you might see an object from one side in one, and from a different side in another image. And objects may swap their relative position (think about trees in a forest). There is no reasonable/consistent way to merge such images. Then there is the corner case of a pure 2D scene where such perspective issues don't occur -- then the camera may move.
Then there are cases like your's, where the scene is not too far from 2D, and therefore a not too far from acceptable result can be obtained with a moving camera. But a strictly distortion free pano is impossible.
I gave this a try, see the attached pto. The result may be acceptable depending on what you want to do with it. It's certainly much better than your reference.
The steps were to manually place all control points, because the control point finder fails on grid like structures (I think that went wrong in your attempt: There were many wrong control points and all images were optimised to the same position.). There are a few verticals and horizontals. I placed all points on the left panel array and optimised translation. One could improve it further with more control points and a few more horizontal lines. One could also repeat the same for the right half to get a good version of that.

Hi Lukas, Could you please clarify why Hugin is unable to handle a moving drone and a non-flat roof? When using other panorama stitching tools, such as the Python Stitcher class, I am able to create a panorama image, as shown in the attached "panorama-Python-Stitcher.jpg." Please note that the result is not just the "frame-1." Therefore, I assume that it is still possible to stitch all my images into a single panorama, covering the entire scene (in my images). Please correct me if I am mistaken. I am reaching out for guidance on the settings or directions in Hugin that could help me to achieve my goal of stitching all my images into a single panorama, ensuring all areas of the scene are covered and overlapping sections are merged. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

As for what is possible, do I understand correctly that we are looking down on a non-flat roof and the left four and the right five rows of panels are not coplanar? In that case, a distortion free panorama isn't possible. For purely geometric reasons, hugin can only deal with two situations: 1) all photos are taken from the same spot and the scene is arbitrary, 2) the object is 2-dimensional and the photos are taken from arbitrary positions. It can't deal with a moving drone and a non-flat roof. However, you should be able to create two separate panos of the two sides of the roof that are 2-dimensional as isolated objects. cheers, lukas wirz On 11/02/2025 08:40, Alex wrote:Hello, Using a drone, I have taken a series of images named: frame_0001.jpg to frame_0010.jpg (as per the attachment). Noted: the meta data of each file has been removed. Then using Hugin, I have created the panorama image"panorama_by_hugin.png".But the result is not satisfactory, because I have found-out that: out of the original 15 solar planes, only 8 are captured in the final panorama image. I expected I can achieve to create a panorama image like "expected_panorama.png". Can someone help me with the following queries: 1. Is the missing of certain content in the final panorama image normal? 2. If not, then how could I use Hugin to create a panorama image similarto"expected_panorama.png"? Many thanks for your help, Alex
