Optimized Pairwise Image Matching

[memecs]

Hello,

Just a quick question I couldn't find any answer online (and didn't want to look into hugin src code...:) ). Is the pairwise image matching optimized (e.g. with some sort of neighboring image prediction) or, for each image added to the panorama an exhaustive search over all images is performed? 

Thanks

The default control point generation strategy uses the cpfind
--multirow option, this makes the assumption that your panorama
consists of one or more parallel-ish rows of photos. It will fail
badly if you have a set of photos taken in a random sequence.

So if you want to match every photo against every other photo you
need to remove this --multirow option in the Hugin Preferences
window.
