Request for CP/relationship visualization in Panorama Editor

[gregz...@gmail.com]

Hello there!

I would love to see an option to visualize the image relationships visually like this:

I often find myself struggling to understand where PTGui is struggling to understand my panoramas - which image pairs are well connected and which ones have bad distance values in their control points, or have few CPs to begin with.

Thick green lines may indicate image pairs with many low-distance CPs, while thinner (or more transparent) green lines could indicate pairs with good CPs, but only a few of them.

The color could shift in hue to orange and red to indicate higher average/median distances on the CPs in order to communicate a problematic pair.

And of course, the lack of any line at all may tell you that there are no CPs between the images, and could help you debug seams and stitching errors.

Does anyone else think something like this could be helpful?

Hi,

Yes this is a good suggestion and you're not the first to ask for this.
It's on the wish list.

Kind regards,

Thanks! We would really appreciate it :)

Sounds quite useful, definitely would be a nice way of streamlining the users experience with controls points and understanding of which images are linked!

Yes, something like a heat map. Great idea.
