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.

PanoTools Meeting 2010 Group Shot

This panorama has been stitched from two images taken with the Sony NEX5 camera. I used the so called “Sweep Panorama” shooting mode of the camera. You start to shoot while turning around. The camera takes images very fast and stitches them directly in the camera. The result is a single JPG image. In this case I had to take two panoramas, each with a resulting size of 12416×1856 pixels. Afterwards I used PTGui Pro to combine the two images, which had a horizontal FOV of about 207°. The final stitched panorama had a size of 21748×1776 pixels. One problem was moving people, like e.g. Bernhard. I was not able to correct this, because the error already occured inside the camera. Thus the source image for my panorama already had this error. 🙁

Note: This is the very first panorama I took with this new technique!

Bauma 2007 Crane Forest

The Bauma in Munich is the largest fair in the world with an area of 555.000 m². It takes place every third year and has a large open air ground. The official tower of the Munich fair can be seen in the panorama on the left with the blue sign near the top. It is 86m high. Many of the cranes are even taller! The original panorama was stitched from 15×3 portrait images that gives a final resolution of 14768×6000 pixels. The Konica Minolta Dynax 7D has a resolution of only 6 Megapixel.

Opernplatz (Frankfurt am Main) in the summer of 2004

At the time of shooting (August 07, 2004) this was my largest and most complex panorama. For this panorama I used 90 images in three rows in portrait orientation. Despite the 5 megapixel of the camera the final image has 32493 x 6171 pixels (that’s ~200 megapixel). It was really tricky to stitch, as the computer was reaching it’s limits in more than one aspect (main memory and hard disk).
