I would like to share informations on how to manage options inside this great software.

There are some big issue I'm not able to easily solve:
1) Sometime AS refuse to stitch all images: in this example, I was forced to manually stitch top and low image rows and poor matching compromised an otherwise great mosaic

2) When there are strong luminosity/contrast differences between original images, AS is unable to flatten differences and I have to make some pre-process or post-process work in order to flatten them manually.
3) in recent Spirit mosaics is almost impossible to obtain a really flat horizon, especially if there are details at different distance (horizon and foreground rocks); this seems a geometric/parallax issue. (see ).

Do someone knows how to easily solve some ofthese issues?

Bill,

Keep all parameters to their default values, except the following:

- Scale: whatever you want (10% for trials, 50-100% for final stitch)
- Gain sigma: 0.3
- SIFT scale: 100% (*)
- RANSAC alpha: 5 (**)
- RANSAC beta: 0.1 (**)
- Auto straighten: off
- Phi: -16
- Psi: 1.9 (***)

(*) Important to find all matching features.
(**) Very important in Meridiani panoramas. To relax the matching algorithm and avoid discarding images.
(***) If the images are loaded sorted by name.

Hope you get this:


Edited: Just now I realized that we are working with different set of images. You are using those ones with seq.id. 1600, while I'm using those with seq.id. 0755 and 1655. Oppy took two panoramas on sol 603; your is the first (mid-drive) and mine is the second (post-drive). In any case, with that parameters (maybe a different psi) it should work too.
