Hello! I have tikee 3 timelapse camera that takes series of pictures with dual lens (220 FOV). I would like to batch stitch images to 7360x2650 panoramas and then create timelapse video with lrtimelapse. I havent yet found settings that would create working panoramas with ptgui. I found old threads but those settings and instructions didn't work. Is here someone using same camera and workflow and would be able to help me with settings?

The lenses of this camera are far too far apart. Parallax problems will
be inevitable. Obviously, the constructors of this camera didn't know
much about panorama stitching...

What exactly is your problem? What is your PTGui version?

I am using ptgui pro 12.21. Here is link where you can see the problem, I havent been able to batch stitch these photos without massive stitching error. Those errors dont come up if I use tikee's timelapse builder.

Hi Janne,

I've tried to create a template using your imagas, see attached. You can
try using this in the batch builder.

The Tikee has a big design flaw in the way the lenses are arranged. They
should be positioned as close as possible in order to minimize parallax.
This will lead to inevitable stitching errors.

In the template I've switched Optimum Seam finding off. This ensures
that the seams will be placed identically in each frame (in your video
you can see the seams moving around while the video is playing).

Kind regards,
