Twelve real frames from the fixture set now align in 4.5 s — 4.4 s of
matching, 118 ms of bundle adjustment — where the first run took 51 s and
left the first two frames out.
The matcher computes each pair's similarity matrix once, across the
cores, with a dot product written to vectorise; both nearest-neighbour
directions read it. The frames that failed were portrait: fitted into the
landscape input they used 512 of 1024 px, and their thin overlap did not
survive at half resolution. The same weights are now exported at 768×1024
as well and the detector picks the shape by aspect. The example aligns
from embedded previews and draws the set on a cylinder; on the fixture the
sweep is 152° at a fitted 47.9 mm against the EXIF's 50, RMS 1.5 px, and
the overlaps show no ghosting.
