Added control points show "inf" distance

[alcan...@gmail.com]

Since just a couple updates back I have a new problem. When I add control points to a viewpoint correction image and any other image, the distance shows as "inf". I've been using the viewpoint correction for some time and this is a new recent development. I've carefully selected image points that are a clear match...

As a consequence, it is impossible to use a VP image for the nadir. That part of the panorama just stays transparent.

I've rewatched the applicable videos on this technique and have not identified any specific error in my process.

Thank you for any suggestions,

Lawrence

As a first step, you can roughly drag the nadir image into position in
the single image editing mode of the Pano Editor and see wether it still
happens.

If not, can you identify those control points in the Control Points
Table (table icon in toolbar)? If yes, delete them.

If nothing helps, please provide the project file. For now only the .pts
without the images.

Viewpoint correction has always worked most reliably by first getting the nadir image roughly into position before switching on viewpoint correction.  As Erik has suggested, do this manually on the Panorama Editor window, or set the pitch of the vp nadir image to -90 on the Image Parameters tab and optimize the image normally and ignore the report of bad control point distances.  Then repeat with vp optimization selected.  If that doesn't work well, check for points created that are not placed on the plane of the flat floor and delete them.
