Also what would be great would be an option to prioritise the correct alignment of 'narrow & long' areas. Let me elaborate:
This would be very usefull for panos with cables, tiles, wooden beams, wall edges, girders, etc. APP would add extra priority to CPs that are placed along long but thin areas, like those examples, and do its best to align those areas between shots since misalignments between those parts would be most visible.

I have major issues with auto-detection of control points in my fisheye images. The stiched panoramas are totally useless. I know Autopano works well on standard lenses but fisheye seems to overburden its capabilities.

CP types : 2 of them are edges aware meaning they will locate themself on edges first. 2 others are blob aware like SIFT : they locate themself on uniform area.
We now study how to auto switch from one type to another one. For example, is we found out that there is a lot edge aware cp and not much blob cp, then it's probably an architecture picture with a lot of lines and we'll boost the first type to be sure that edge will be continuous. On the other hand, you may not have any edge aware CP meaning you are going to stitch together clouds for example. In this case, SIFT is by far the best.
Anyway. This study is really interesting and will really change the software in the future.
