Hugin control point generator

[Nathan Gutman]

I have installed the Hugin 2009.4.0 for Windows.
Towards the end of the Readme file it mentions to install and configure
control point generators
autopano-sift-C
panomatic
match-n-shift
Autopano-SIFT
Autopano freeware version.
I was able to find and install autopano-sift-C but where do I download
the executables for the rest?
Thanks,
Nathan

Generally, you don't need all of them. Usually (at least for me)
Autopano-SIFT-C does the trick, as well as Pan-o-matic. Both Autopano-
SIFT and Autopano are superseded by Autopano-SIFT-C, kind of, so you
won't need those. Anyway:

panomatic: http://aorlinsk2.free.fr/panomatic/
regarding match-n-shift: see

I installed autopano-sift-C and set it as default to used in Assistant
but it didn't generate any Control Points. I thought that perhaps other
software will do a better job.
Is this possible?
Also, is there a way to select which CP generator to use without having
to set it in preferences?
Thanks,
Nathan

I tried the Panomatic and it did relatively well where Autopano-sift-C
blew up. Maybe I have a wrong/bad version of Autopano. Where from should
try to get it?
Also, is there a way to switch between CP generators i.e. when one fails
switch to another without having to change the default in preferences?
Thanks,
Nathan

The latest Hugin release (2009.2.0) has the presets available when you
use the 'Create control points' button in the Images tab.
