Feature request: Align Image Stack batch & remove CP from crop area

[mkogoj...@gmail.com]

Hello.

 

Control Points:

When using a circular fisheye in any direction towards the sun Hugin places control points beyond the scene area, i.e. well into the body of the objective as it is sufficiently illuminated.

Removing CP individually is far too time consuming. There is an option to remove CP from masks, but this means additional steps between adding masks, removing points and then removing said masks to avoid mask intersection conflicts.

In my experience mask overlapping often resulted in black patches or other artefacts. Moreover, since the cropped area will not be used regardless I imagine it would make sense to remove any control points from it automatically.

In case this was already implemented let me just say that it is currently not working for:

Hugin 2020.0.0, on

Windows 10 64b with

Intel i7, Quadro k2000

Alternatively, an option to select large amounts of CP visually (selecting them en masse as they appear on screen) would be a welcome addition. Example image with control points in the objective body:

Align multiple image stacks:

I have probably not tried every method available, but currently the only way to align image stacks is to load every stack individually, process and export it. It seems to me that trying to align multiple stacks at once somehow tries to align them between each other and ends with large errors or more often with 0 added points (as opposite to 400+ points for every stack individually). It would be nice if the CP search and aligment was limited to each stack separately when none are selected.

Cheers

The crop is normally set first and then cpfind is started. So no cp in the cropped area are found.

You are right. I tried with a new batch of images and it works as you said.

I maintain that it did not work when I did it before. Possibly I sought alignment CPs before cropping and it transferred forward... but idk what I did.
