NAME

       geocpset - adds control points based on geometric position

SYNOPSIS

       geocpset [-o output.pto] input.pto

DESCRIPTION

       geocpset is a tool for panoramas which contains featureless images, e.g.  sky images. In
       this images a control point detector does not find control points. geocpset analyses the
       positions of the images in project files.  Then it adds control points to these images
       which are not connected by control points. The control points are set only be the
       geometric positions of the images and not by the image content. So geocpset should only
       used with projects which have assigned rough image positions.

USAGE

        geocpset -o output.pto input.pto

       If the --output/-o switch is missing then the suffix "_geo" is added to the filename.

       The indented workflow is

       #1 First create project file
           pto_gen -o project.pto *.jpg

       #2 Then assign rough positions to images
           pto_var --set y=i*20-40,p=0,r=0 -o project.pto project.pto

       #3 Now run a "normal" control point detector, e.g. only on overlapping images
           cpfind --prealigned -o project.pto project.pto

       #4 And finally connect all unconnected images
           geocpset -o project.pto project.pto

OPTIONS

       -o|--output output.pto
           Output a pto file with the given filename. If not given it will append "_geo" to the
           input filename.

       -e|--each-overlap
           By default geocpset adds only control points to unconnected images.  With this switch
           you can force to add a geometric control point to each overlap, which is not connect
           by control points or linked with image positions.

       --min-overlap=NUM
           By default geocpset takes only image pairs into account which overlap more than 10 %.
           If you have very narrow overlaps you can decrease this value to take also such small
           overlaps into account, e.g.  --min-overlap=1

       -h|--help
           Display help.
