NOTE Stitcher cannot calibrate the highly-distorted lens if both images in the Stitching
Window are stitched. This option is not used for fisheye lenses.
To cancel the high-distortion calibration:
Select Tools > High Distortion > Reset .
All the images are restored to their original state.
NOTE The Reset option is only available if no more than one image is stitched.
Evaluating focal length
Unlike most stitching software, Stitcher calculates both focal length and lens distortion.
After stitching three or four image in your first row, you should recalculate the focal
length.
Recalculating the focal length, sensor shift, and distortion for each image reduces the
possibility of stitching errors. Recalculate the focal length regularly (every five shots),
and recalculate again before rendering. When four images are stitched, the sensor shift
is calculated automatically.
To adjust images:
1
Click Adjust Camera Parameters .
2
From the drop-down lists, set the Focal Length , Sensor Shift , and/or Distortion to
Initialized
