match-n-shift - wrapper to run autopano-sift on stereographic versions of photos
match-n-shift [options] --output project.pto image1 image2 [...]
Options: -o | --output name Filename of created panorama project -s | --size number Downsize images until width and height is smaller than number, default 800 -p | --points number Number of generated control points between, each pair, default: 10 -n | --noransac No ransac detection, useful for fisheye images -m | --matchpoint Use matchpoint from the hugin project, default is generatekeys from autopano-sift-C -r | --refine Refine the found control points using the original images, delete unrefinable. -b | --stacks Use align_image_stack with bracketed stacks -f | --projection Panotools style input projection number. Use 0 for rectilinear, 2 for circular fisheye and 3 for full-frame fisheye images. -v | --fov Horizontal field of view in degrees -k | --selection Crop selection boundary, eg -459,2459,-57,2861 -a | --align Attempt to align images. -c | --clean Delete all temporary files afterwards. -h | --help Outputs help documentation.
match-n-shift takes a list of image files and creates a hugin compatible project file containing control points linking the images together.
It does this by creating scaled stereographic versions of the original photos and identifying control points, then takes the generated .oto file and rewrites the control point coordinates assuming that they are based on stereographic versions of the input photos, the resulting .oto file should be applicable to the original photos.
Additionally if the --stacks option is used then align_image_stack is used to assemble bracketed sequences within the set, usually with less error. For this to work photos need to be taken with the camera's auto-bracketing feature, e.g. take three different exposures, move camera, take the same three exposures, move camera etc...
