  • Panoramas Shoot with the Camera Positioned Vertically As This Will Give the Photo Merging Software More Wriggle-Room in Merging the Images
    P a n o r a m a s What is a Panorama? A panoramic photo covers a larger field of view than a “normal” photograph. In general if the aspect ratio is 2 to 1 or greater then it’s classified as a panoramic photo. This sample is about 3 times wider than tall, an aspect ratio of 3 to 1. What is a Panorama? A panorama is not limited to horizontal shots only. Vertical images are also an option. How is a Panorama Made? Panoramic photos are created by taking a series of overlapping photos and merging them together using software. Why Not Just Crop a Photo? • Making a panorama by cropping deletes a lot of data from the image. • That’s not a problem if you are just going to view it in a small format or at a low resolution. • However, if you want to print the image in a large format the loss of data will limit the size and quality that can be made. Get a Really Wide Angle Lens? • A wide-angle lens still may not be wide enough to capture the whole scene in a single shot. Sometime you just can’t get back far enough. • Photos taken with a wide-angle lens can exhibit undesirable lens distortion. • Lens cost, an auto focus 14mm f/2.8 lens can set you back $1,800 plus. What Lens to Use? • A standard lens works very well for taking panoramic photos. • You get minimal lens distortion, resulting in more realistic panoramic photos. • Choose a lens or focal length on a zoom lens of between 35mm and 80mm.

  • 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.

  • Open Source Digital Data Collection for Field Sciences
    Open source digital data collection for field sciences. Isaac I. Ullah, PhD This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. San Diego State University 1 Why Open Science? “Often described as ‘open science’, these new norms include data stewardship instead of data ownership, transparency in the analysis process instead of secrecy, and public involvement instead of exclusion. … We believe that there is much to be gained, both for individual researchers and for the discipline, from broader application of open science practices. … [W]e have identified three elements of open science that cross-cut [these] themes: open access, open data, and open methods.” (emphasis added) - Ben Marwick + 48 coauthors, “Open Science in Archaeology.” SAA Archaeological Record, September, 2017. SAA Open Science Interest Group. 2 Wiki: https://osf.io/2dfhz/ Digital Data Collection as an Open Method The benefits of paperless technology for the field sciences are obvious: 1. Faster in-field collection, little to no need for “post production” of data. 2. Better data standardization, fewer recording and transcription errors. 3. Ability to “course correct” based on real-time data analysis. 4. Near-instant upload, backup, and real-time long-distance collaboration. However, with the adoption of this new technology, we have an important opportunity choice. Will we support the idea of Open Science by ensuring our paperless data collection workflows are: 1. As transparent as possible so that potential errors can be assessed? 2. Reproducible by others, right down to the hardware components? 3. Freely scalable and changeable so that they can responsively grow along with our disciplinary needs? 4.
