Tie point limit per image pair
« on: December 15, 2022, 12:31:50 PM »
Hello.
Some UAV-based flight missions take groups of photos of several different orientations.
When  "Align Photos" command is applied to such a photo set, the in-group matchings (matching among photos of the same orientations) can dominate and inter-group matchings (matching among photos of the different orientations) can be relatively few.

This is not good for the camera parameter estimation because some parameters (such as the intrinsic parameter f) cannot be estimated just by in-group matchings. If in-group matchings is dominant, the inter-group matchings may not have an enough influence (in least-squares optimization assumed).

Therefore, it would be great if the user can specify a tie point limit per image pair, namely the maximum number of feature matches allowed between two photos. This is different from the currently implemented "tie point limit" (per image).
