NAME
       autooptimiser - Optimize image positions

SYNOPSIS
       autooptimiser [options] project.pto

       (- can be specified to read the project from stdio.)

DESCRIPTION
       autooptimiser works similarly to PToptimizer but with extra command-
       line options.

       It is also different in that PToptimizer appends its output onto the
       input file in the form of 'o' lines which need further processing.
       autooptimiser simply updates the project and writes it to a new file.

OPTIONS
       -o file.pto
           Output file. If omitted, stdout is used.

       Optimisation options (if not specified, no optimisation takes place):

       -a  Auto align mode, includes various optimisation stages, depending on
           the amount and distribution of the control points

       -p  Pairwise optimisation of yaw, pitch and roll, starting from first
           image

       -n  Optimize parameters specified in script file (like PToptimizer).

       Post-processing options:

       -l  Level horizon (works best for horizontal panoramas)

       -s  Automatically select a suitable output projection and size

       Other options:

       -q  Quiet operation (no progress is reported)

       -v HFOV
           Specify horizontal field of view of input images. Used if the .pto
           file contains invalid HFOV values (autopano-SIFT writes .pto files
           with invalid HFOV)

       When -a, -l, and -s options are used together, an operation similar to
       the one of the "Align" button in hugin is performed.
