If you think of the geometry you are getting >90deg angle of view at 7mm. Someone else has mentioned Microsoft ICE - the new v2 is very good! But keep away from the wider end of this lens. No, this is not a well-done panorama, but it gives hope that the effort-driven result will yield something useful. My experiments seem to indicate that the limited resolution of video has a massively negative impact on final panorama quality (leaving parallax and other problems aside, that exist for photos, too). Microsoft ICE allows producing a panorama from a video - I call this "paint a panorama". This will give you a lot of raw material to work with and allow you to selectively exclude shots at post-processing time should it turn out that the tools are trying to overfit samples into the stitched panorama. To simplify life for the stitching tools and their control point generation, try to shoot with a lot of overlap - say 66%. If the situation allows for it, try to choose the ultra-wide lens. If you want to get a flat image out of your effort (see my intent below), then using a fisheye would only produce worse results than a well-designed rectilinear lens as the distortion would have to be corrected. The key point to succeeding here seems to be that the sensor plane is, and remains, fully parallel to the plane of the subject.
I suppose that the panorama quality will improve quite a bit once I add considerably more (manual) effort to the stitching in Hugin by way of defining more control points, and the controls points much more accurately, and by adding a level horizon tracing, e.g., the railing. One way to accomplish this would be to align two legs of the tripod with the straight line, then make sure that the camera sensor plane is in parallel with the target plane (ceiling in your case). Try to minimize camera rotation in the horizontal plane. Use a tripod and make sure that the tripod follows a straight line. The results generated by the automated modes so far have been disappointing, but lessons have been learnt, I guess: I have had only the time for some very stupid and naive stitching in both Microsoft ICE and Hugin. The original photos were taken at 7mm, hand-held, walking along a line of houses, praying that I get things right as I had never done this before. I am not an expert, but have at least already taken the photos to try.
I have fisheye, but I am not sure fisheye projection is suitable for stitching panoramas, unless going some steps of de-fishing.
#Simple panorama stitcher software#
Question goes, any problem with distortion at short end of 7-14 lens ? Hope software wont get lost at those settings and steps. Then I want to stitch it in PTgui or Adobe PS as simple panorama. I am on mission to shot some 30 meters long ceiling, I am doing it via Wi-Fi, camera put on the ground and moving on cetral line for some meter step.
