BTW…there’s a setting that is “maximum reprojection error” What DOES RC do about control poitns that are WAY off…does it look at a 24 point error (against a limit of 3.0) and think “Hey, I’m not touching that”…or rather…“Hmm, that’s BADLY wrong…I better think again”.
It would be nice if there was a User option to choose…I know we have the “weighting” thing, but there should be a way of saying…“Look RC, I know you can operate on trillions of points at a speed that I can’t match…but when I say this point HERE is the same as this point HERE…I bloody mean it!”.
I think we need that sort of “God Level” control points…but limited to a maximum of three per alignment…it would be like saying either…
“I don’t care about the rest, focus on this”
or
“I’m 100% certain that these points are the same point in real space”
Why three? welll…even given the last statment…I’m only human…and one block of stone can look very much like another when you zoom in and…I’m getting on a bit and my eyesight’s not great…and I’d had a few…and the cat was being sick…and…and…
Given all that, best not to present RC with too much “absolute certainty” that turns out to be “absolute garbage”…
…and…three points…recognised way of defining a 3D space - one in each plane…
Possible?
