  • Optics – Panoramic Lens Applications Revisited
    Panoramic Lens Applications Revisited Simon Thibault* M.Sc., Ph.D., Eng Director, Optics Division/Principal Optical Designer ImmerVision 2020 University, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 2A5 Canada ABSTRACT During the last few years, innovative optical design strategies to generate and control image mapping have been successful in producing high-resolution digital imagers and projectors. This new generation of panoramic lenses includes catadioptric panoramic lenses, panoramic annular lenses, visible/IR fisheye lenses, anamorphic wide-angle attachments, and visible/IR panomorph lenses. Given that a wide-angle lens images a large field of view on a limited number of pixels, a systematic pixel-to-angle mapping will help the efficient use of each pixel in the field of view. In this paper, we present several modern applications of these modern types of hemispheric lenses. Recently, surveillance and security applications have been proposed and published in Security and Defence symposium. However, modern hemispheric lens can be used in many other fields. A panoramic imaging sensor contributes most to the perception of the world. Panoramic lenses are now ready to be deployed in many optical solutions. Covered applications include, but are not limited to medical imaging (endoscope, rigiscope, fiberscope…), remote sensing (pipe inspection, crime scene investigation, archeology…), multimedia (hemispheric projector, panoramic image…). Modern panoramic technologies allow simple and efficient digital image processing and the use of standard image analysis features (motion estimation, segmentation, object tracking, pattern recognition) in the complete 360o hemispheric area. Keywords: medical imaging, image analysis, immersion, omnidirectional, panoramic, panomorph, multimedia, total situation awareness, remote sensing, wide-angle 1. INTRODUCTION Photography was invented by Daguerre in 1837, and at that time the main photographic objective was that the lens should cover a wide-angle field of view with a relatively high aperture1.

  • Hardware and Software for Panoramic Photography
    ROVANIEMI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY Degree Programme in Information Technology Thesis HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE FOR PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY Julia Benzar 2012 Supervisor: Veikko Keränen Approved _______2012__________ The thesis can be borrowed. School of Technology Abstract of Thesis Degree Programme in Information Technology _____________________________________________________________ Author Julia Benzar Year 2012 Subject of thesis Hardware and Software for Panoramic Photography Number of pages 48 In this thesis, panoramic photography was chosen as the topic of study. The primary goal of the investigation was to understand the phenomenon of pa- noramic photography and the secondary goal was to establish guidelines for its workflow. The aim was to reveal what hardware and what software is re- quired for panoramic photographs. The methodology was to explore the existing material on the topics of hard- ware and software that is implemented for producing panoramic images. La- ter, the best available hardware and different software was chosen to take the images and to test the process of stitching the images together. The ex- periment material was the result of the practical work, such the overall pro- cess and experience, gained from the process, the practical usage of hard- ware and software, as well as the images taken for stitching panorama. The main research material was the final result of stitching panoramas. The main results of the practical project work were conclusion statements of what is the best hardware and software among the options tested. The re- sults of the work can also suggest a workflow for creating panoramic images using the described hardware and software. The choice of hardware and software was limited, so there is place for further experiments.

    Panorama Photography by Andrew McDonald Crater Lake - Andrew McDonald (10520 x 3736 - 39.3MP) What is a Panorama? A panorama is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model. Downtown Kansas City, MO – Andrew McDonald (16614 x 4195 - 69.6MP) How do I make a panorama? Cropping of normal image (4256 x 2832 - 12.0MP) Union Pacific 3985-Andrew McDonald (4256 x 1583 - 6.7MP) • Some Cameras have had this built in • APS Cameras had a setting that would indicate to the printer that the image should be printed as a panorama and would mask the screen off. Some 35mm P&S cameras would show a mask to help with composition. • Advantages • No special equipment or technique required • Best (only?) option for scenes with lots of movement • Disadvantages • Reduction in resolution since you are cutting away portions of the image • Depending on resolution may only be adequate for web or smaller prints How do I make a panorama? Multiple Image Stitching + + = • Digital cameras do this automatically or assist Snake River Overlook – Andrew McDonald (7086 x 2833 - 20.0MP) • Some newer cameras do this by “sweeping the camera” across the scene while holding the shutter button. Images are stitched in-camera. • Other cameras show the left or right edge of prior image to help with composition of next image. Stitching may be done in-camera or multiple images are created. • Advantages • Resolution can be very high by using telephoto lenses to take smaller slices of the scene

Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 340 p. Land management professionals (foresters, wildlife biologists, range managers, and land managers such as ranchers and forest land owners) often have need to evaluate their management activities. Photographic monitoring is a fast, simple, and effective way to determine if changes made to an area have been successful. Ground-based photo monitoring means using photographs taken at a specific site to monitor conditions or change. It may be divided into two systems: (1) comparison photos, whereby a photograph is used to compare a known condition with field conditions to estimate some parameter of the field condition; and (2) repeat photo- graphs, whereby several pictures are taken of the same tract of ground over time to detect change. Comparison systems deal with fuel loading, herbage utilization, and public reaction to scenery. Repeat photography is discussed in relation to land- scape, remote, and site-specific systems. Critical attributes of repeat photography are (1) maps to find the sampling location and of the photo monitoring layout; (2) documentation of the monitoring system to include purpose, camera and film, w e a t h e r, season, sampling technique, and equipment; and (3) precise replication of photographs.

Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".[6] However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting—"good" and "bad" bokeh, respectively.[2] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the Coarse bokeh on a photo shot with an 85 mm lens and 70 mm entrance pupil diameter, which depth of field.

  • Panoramic Cameras I Built Over the Years
    PANORAMIC CAMERAS I'VE MADE Andrew Davidhazy, Imaging and Photographic Technology Rochester Institute of Technology My experiences with panoramic camera construction started in the late 1960's while still an undergraduate student at R.I.T. and while involved with exploring the photographic possibilities of moving film type cameras generically known as "strip" cameras. I first learned of the pictorial applications of these cameras from the work of Life Magazine's George Silk and his coverage of the 1960 Olympics with a camera modified for him by Marty Forsher. The first panoramic camera I built consisted of a mechanism for rewinding the film in a standard 35mm camera while the camera was manually panned at a rate controlled by the focal length used on the camera. The longer the lens the slower the pan for a given rewind speed. I took an approach to determining the length of film required for a full 360° shot which was, and remains, rather unorthodox. Instead of using the traditional formula of 2 x f x pi, I divide the vertical angle of view of the lens in use into 360 and multiply this figure by 24mm. While normal focal length lenses require similar lengths by each method it was not until I came in contact with Cirkut photographers that the advantages of the previous method became evident. At the same time that my interest in panoramic photography increased I started to experiment with enlargements. In 1970 I made a 360° 32 foot long print from a panoramic photography made with a 35mm focal length lens on the above camera turned by a battery driven rotating tripod head made for it.
