Note:
As you see the panorama calculator calculates the parameter with a two digital frac-
tion after the decimal point. Actually this is unusual for a mechanical and non-
motorized panorama head. But it is good to know the exact values to be able to round
the value. A motor controlled Panorama Head is normally able to position the head
very accurate and reproduce able.
For a first calculation for a MultiRow Panorama, the following procedure makes sense:
•
First decide what the panorama resolution should be. Remember, long focal
length
10
are used for high resolution panoramas and increases the amount of
images
17/19
necessary for the whole panorama.
Short focal length
10
is used for low resolution panoramas and the amount of
images
17/19
is less.
•
After setting the focal length
10
, the Pano Angle of View (H)
13
, the Pano Angle
of View (V)
15
and using the default overlaps 25% (H)
6
and 30% (V)
8
, a first
calculation should be done.
•
Sometime it is desired to optimize the calculated parameters. These can be
done with the following input parameters tabulated in order of importance:
- Min. Overlap between Columns (H)
6
- Overlap between Rows (V)
8
- Focal length
10
- In "Manual" mode
23/24
varying
NPos (H)
17
and/or varying "No.
of images (V)"
19
.
