Panoramas and Videos by James Mercer Tromsoe, Norway |
|
On this site I will be posting
360 movable panoramas and videos that I have taken
using various multirotor Drones. Some are also taken
at ground level using a normal camera tripod with a
DSLR camera. They are numbered sequentially, starting
from my earliest attempts (Panorama #1). As you go
down the list you will see that the quality gets much
better as my image capturing and processing techniques
improve. This web site is at the moments very
simple since it is still under development and
will hopefully improve as time moves on. The first 39
panoramas were taken from sites near the city of
Tromsoe in North Norway. |

PANORAMA 7 Belvika Panorama (using Litchi automatic PANO (360 degree) capture function). In the PANO sub menu I choose 27 different camera angles with 3 bracketed (+2ev, 0ev and -2ev) images at each angle. Each of the 3 bracketed images for each angle were further processed using EasyHDR3 to create a single HDR image. All 27 HDR images were further processed in PTGUI to form a panorama image which was then converted into a spherical panorama using PANO2vr. Using HTML code this was then inserted into the web site. |

October 2016 in North Norway. The late afternoon sun is very low on the horizon. DJI Phantom 3 pro camera. Manuel photography using DJI GO. Gimbal movement +30 to -90 degrees. Bracketing function (-2, 0 and +2ev). HDR rendering using easy-HDR. Stitching using PTgui and web format preparation using Pano2VR |

October 22, 2016. This was a first test with Litchi Auto Panorama function. Total ca 210 images. First took 3 rows (started at +30 degrees and then used 20 degree gimbal angle difference for each row). 10 images on each row. Each image taken 3 times with bracketing function (+/- 2 ev). After the first 3 rows were taken I adjusted camera settings in flight and took 3 more rows and another 3 different camera tilt angles Finaly took a single row to ensure good overlap at -80 degree gimbal angle. Main problem today was a) light conditions with low sun angle. b) no ND filter - removed lens protector. c) P3 had not always fully settled down (stabliized) between shots and causing small movement artifacts with the bracketing function. This problem has to be addressed. All in all a reasonable satisfactory test of the Litchi auto Panorama function but marred by small camera movements while taking images. |
