Reprojecting equirectangular images for a printed presentation

We held a talk at the Palmela International Panoramic Photography Festival: Reprojecting equirectangular images for a printed presentation and also at the PanoTools Meeting 2011 in Vienna.

You can find the video recording of the talk in Palmela here.

The talk showcased the benefits of reprojecting equirectangular panoramas for static presentations. We have presented “simple” reprojections and also two–step reprojections using a series of transformations. An overview was given about the different available tools to reproject panoramas. Numerous “real life” examples were shown, including the original equirectangular image and possible reprojections.

The presented reprojections were based on scripts working with two different tools PixelBender (stand alone or plugin for PhotoShop) and the MathMap plugin for The Gimp.

Cylindrical Panorama from a Video Source

In a post on the HD View blog I read some intersting stuff about generating a panorama from a video source. I made some short videos from my pole recently when making this panorama. I downloaded version 1.4.2 of MICE immediately to try this feature. However the first problem was, that the original mt2s-Video stream from my Sony NEX-5 could not be loaded with MICE. The fastest way to try the feature was to recode it to a 640×480 pixel WMV video stream. This could be opened easily. After setting the start and the stop slider in the video preview window the rest was almost done automatically. I’m quite satisfied with my first result. However I’ll try again with some better video resolution when I find time to recode my original video footage.
