PTOCLEAN(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PTOCLEAN(1)NAMEptoclean - prune improbable control points
SYNOPSISptoclean [options] --output better.pto notgood.pto
Options:
-o | --output Filename of pruned project (can be the the same as the input)
-n | --amount Distance factor for pruning (default=2)
-f | --fast Don't run the optimiser for each image pair (similar to APClean)
-v | --verbose Report some statistics
-h | --help Outputs help documentation
DESCRIPTIONptoclean takes a hugin .pto project and removes inconsistent control-
points. 'Bad' points are determined by calculating the average error
distance and standard deviation (Sigma), then removing any points with
an error distance greater than the average by n * sigma. This pruning
is performed on each pair of images in turn and then finally on the
project as a whole.
Additionally the autooptimiser tool is run on each pair of images
separately before each calculation, so there is no need for the project
to be 'nearly aligned' beforehand.
NOTE: although optimisation plays a part in the pruning process, the
output project is exactly the same as the input except with 'bad'
points removed, you probably want to optimise the geometry of this
project with hugin or autooptimiser afterward.
This tool is heavily inspired by APClean, a similar tool for PTGui
project files by Fulvio Senore. If you want a similar behaviour to
APClean without the optimisation steps, use the --fast option.
