Can criteria be a % overlap instead of using control points?

[Cheryl Sanchez]

Hi! I have drone footage, and the photos were programmed to be taken with a 70% forward overlap per transect. There are a  lot of photos per transect. I want to create a 'panoramic' with this footage, but can't figure out if I can use that as a criteria (70% overlap) for the panorama to be made instead of using control points. Is this possible?

Thanks so much,

Cheryl

Hi,

One of the basic assumption for capturing pictures to be used to make a panorama is that the center of camera is located at the same place while the camera is rotated around its center/axis. (rotational motion is acceptable but no translational motion)

With the forward overlap, the center of the camera has different locations for each picture (this is similar to pictures captured with a stereo camera). So you can use softwares designed for stereoscopy (for example COLMAP) to create a 3D model from your pictures.

In hugin, you can manually select control points between a pair of overlapping images but it won't help in your case since Hugin can not deal with stereo images.

BR,

Saleh
