Public bug reported:

I am trying to generate control points for a stack of images (which I
intend to process into a time-lapse sequence). All images were taken
from the same position (save for some camera shake) at intervals between
1 and 4 seconds, thus there are plenty of control point candidates.

I import them (using the Advanced interface) and select a batch of 120
consecutive images (as I get an error about to many arguments being
supplied when the number of images approaches 127), then I generate
control points.

When I examine the control points, I notice that sporadically there are
pairs of consecutive images that do not have any control points between
them. I have to go back to the first tab, select those two images
separately, then regenerate the control points again (with the same
settings as before). After that, the control points are there.

This has happened on every sequence I have processed so far. In 120
images, I usually have around a dozen image pairs without control
points. Since explicitly regenerating control points works, the images
are similar enough for Hugin to recognize similar features in them. It
looks like the script which generates the control points occasionally
skips some of the images it iterates over.

I use the "Align image stack" script to create control points. The Hugin
version is 2015.0.0.cdefc6e53a58, as supplied with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

images-for-a-timelapse-with-foss-tools/83156#83156.
