 Autoboresight begins to fail at reducing tie points sometimes, this appears to be at random. It's likely that attune will not be able to find any of the tie points you have made if this happens. The only fix seems to be to create a new project, add all your lines again (as the same line number/name!) then rename the old tie points file to the new project name convention and re-run. This does not work every time.
 
+If previous fix does not work (possibly because there is no tie point file in the new project or it is overwritten when solving calibration parameters), open the corrupted file with your tie points, then open and save a new file. Read in the lines again.  Don't forget to replace the .bin files with the classified files. Save and solve calibration parameters. The tie points from the corrupted file remain in Attune's memory and are written to your new tie points file without any errors.

  * To check the Roll accuracy – check opposing flights and look at cross sections at either end of the swath for a tilt (across track).

+ * To check the Heading accuracy – check the parallel lines for along-track offsets close to line edges
  * Also possible to check for errors by re-ordering points by elevation
