PTGUi 11 beta 1 - images in Panorama Editor change blurry after viewpoint-optimizing

Is this a known beta issue?

The implication is that the stitched panorama is fine - without blurring.  Is the blurring just present in the Panorama Editor?  And how is the Detail viewer image quality?  My own projects using viewpoint correction on just one image for the nadir area display fine in the Panorama Editor window.  It may be that the blurring in your example is due to inappropriately placed control points - ie. not confined to a single flat surface.

Hi John,

I'm using the viewpoint-correction with PTGUi 10 to eliminate the parallax-errors of images which were taken by my drones Mavic Pro and Inspire 1.

Due to wind-drift the images cannot be taken in the NPP.

PTGUi 10 adjusts these parallax-errors sucessfully.

PTGUi 11 beta 1 seems to fail with this method.

It would seem that this is not a problem with the Panorama Editor display in particular.  It's just that the output panorama has blurry bits.  This is really a misuse of the viewpoint correction feature.  It's not really designed to be used in the way that you are using it.  It may or may not give a decent result, though I would expect similar results from V10 and V11.  Have you tried taking a V10 project, opening it with V11 and then simply running the optimizer without making any changes?  Does it give a significantly different result?

Hi John,

"misusing" the viewpoint correction feature in PTGUi 10 is working well and is used by many other aerial photographers. 

Though Joost has not intended to use this feature that way, the result is great and time-saving. No more Photoshop-retouching needed.

I would appreciate if Joost could fix this issue in PTGUi 11.

So, just to be absolutely clear, are those screen shots of V10 and V11 both using exactly the same project file (so both runs have the same control points etc), or are they the results of separately processing the same images from scratch with V10 and V11?

Yes, I loaded the same project file of PTGUi 10 to PTGUi 11.

Hi Harald,

Probably the problem can be fixed by enabling viewpoint correction for
all images except one. Take a central image, and set viewpoint
optimization to 'Reset'. Or perhaps you might have to reset all
viewpoint corrections first, then enable all except one and reoptimize.

I've actually seen similar issues in PTGui 10; apparently it's a bit
easier to trigger this in PTGui 11. The optimizer is not completely
stable, this will be fixed.

Kind regards,
