I took a 360 by 180 pano of the inside of a chapel and used a 50mm lens
with the idea of capturing as much fine detail of the murals, statues
and religious artifacts as possible in the final result. The unintended
consequence is that the ceiling is a dome painted in the same color with
a single chandelier. I would up with several shots PTGui was unable to
generate control points for due to too much of a single color and no
chandelier section in the overlap.

I am manually adding control points which is complicated since the high
pitch angle causes different angular direction from frame to frame, the
frames are not of a wall section side by side but of square pieces of
pie of a dome ceiling.

It looks like a tedious job finding irregularities that overlap frames.
I am finding the EV adjustment in the control point table very helpful.

Has anyone know of some alternatives I can try to make life easier:

  * Different stitcher?
  * Any type of filtering?
  * etc?

Thanks

PS
Next time I will use an lens wide enough to insure overlap in the
largest expanse of a dome or featureless section. Live and learn.
