9=head1 DESCRIPTION
10
11B<geocpset> is a tool for panoramas which contains featureless images, e.g.
12sky images. In this images a control point detector does not find control
13points. B<geocpset> analyses the positions of the images in project files.
14Then it adds control points to these images which are not connected by
15control points. The control points are set only be the geometric positions
16of the images and not by the image content. So B<geocpset> should only
17used with projects which have assigned rough image positions.

28If the I<--output/-o> switch is missing then the suffix "_geo" is added to
29the filename.

31The indented workflow is
32
33=over
34
35=item #1
36First create project file
37
38pto_gen -o project.pto *.jpg
39
40=item #2
41Then assign rough positions to images
42
43pto_var --set y=i*20-40,p=0,r=0 -o project.pto project.pto
44
45=item #3
46Now run a "normal" control point detector, e.g. only on overlapping images
47
48cpfind --prealigned -o project.pto project.pto
49
50=item #4
51And finally connect all unconnected images
52
53geocpset -o project.pto project.pto

55=back

57=head1 OPTIONS
58
59=over
60
61=item B<-o|--output> I<output.pto>
62
63Output a pto file with the given filename. If not given it will append
64"_geo" to the input filename.
65
66=item B<-e|--each-overlap>
67
68By default B<geocpset> adds only control points to unconnected images.
69With this switch you can force to add a geometric control point to each
70overlap, which is not connect by control points or linked with image
71positions.
72
73=item B<--min-overlap=NUM>
74
75By default B<geocpset> takes only image pairs into account which overlap
76more than 10 %. If you have very narrow overlaps you can decrease this
77value to take also such small overlaps into account, e.g.
78B<--min-overlap=1>
