Bruno, thank you so much! 

I will follow your suggestions and report back on the results.

Hi Bruno, thank you very much for looking at my data.

I would try deleting control points that are not near the likely seam  
position. This seems counter intuitive, but these pixels will not end up in 
your final image.

That sounds logical to me, even if I don't understand your reasoning. In my 
words, I would have said that it's because the fish-eye distortion is extreme 
at the edges, making reprojection very unreliable. Or am I missing something?

Yes in part. Because your photos overlap, the extreme edges of the circle are 
not going to be used, so putting control points here isn't going to help and 
may make things worse.

... or create lots of vertical control points to properly calibrate the lens 
distortion (I would create the vertical points).

Should the vertical control points only be located in the overlap area or also 
outside it?

They should be all over the scene, especially in areas that are not overlapped.

I would also delete any close control points, ie. The floor might look  like a 
great calibration source, but using it will amplify any parallax  problems 
caused by the slight offset between lenses.

Good point, thank youu 

Also, these circular fisheye images are very unlikely to be central in  the 
frame, so you need to optimise d & e parameters separately for  each side.

What do you mean by "separately for each side"?

This is advanced usage, only do this if you can't get good results. I assume 
you are cropping out each circle and saving them as separate files. Even if you 
crop carefully these are different lenses, so they will be aligned differently 
relative to the sensors. The d & e parameters tell Hugin where the centre of 
the lens is relative to the centre of the sensor. So this technique involves 
you optimising each of the two circles as a different lens altogether.

 

(Note there is a further more advanced technique where you feed the image with 
two circles into the hugin project twice, this way you can do all the cropping 
in Hugin and use the file directly out of the camera, but this can be tricky to 
set up)
