2.2.4 Summary:
In consideration of the camera used and the focal length of the lens and the chosen
AoV
6/8
in the “Parameter Inputs” field, the calculator determines all output parame-
ters
26/27/28
.
The calculated "Angle of View Pano" (H/V)
26
and the calculated overlap (H)
26
are
always at least as the values defined in the “Parameter Inputs”
6/8
field. In any case
the result of the calculation will always be on the safe side. It gives the photographer
also the flexibility to crop the panorama at the end of the stitching process.
In chapter 4.1 I will explain the simple workflow to calculate the parameters for a
MultiRow panorama in a short time.
When close objects are part of a MultiRow Panorama, a correctly adjusted Pivot Point
is a must. Remember different focal length of fixed lenses or zoom lens needs neces-
sary readjustments to the Pivot Point.
When using zoom lenses, the risk of unintended readjustment to the focal length of
the lens is high. This will have a direct impact on the calculated values.
In the status line messages are displayed:
- When calculated number of rows in
are larger than 21
- When Pano AoV (H) is smaller than AoV (H) of one picture. In this case just
one column is needed for the panorama.
- When Pano AoV (V) is smaller than AoV (V) of one picture. In this case just one
row is needed for the panorama.
- When Pano AoV (H/V) is smaller than AoV (H/V) of one picture. In this case
just one column and one row are needed for the panorama. That means one
image.
- The calculated AoV (V) is smaller than it should be.
Note:
The input masks are designed to allow inputs or changes to white colored fields
only.
