2.2 MultiRow Calculator
The MultiRow panorama calculator is designed to take images in camera format Por-
trait and Landscape
21/22/2(,24
. The calculator has an input- “Parameter Inputs”
3
and
an output field “Parameter Outputs”
25
.
Changes in the input masks “Parameter Inputs”
3
can be done by pressing the arrows
adapted to the masks by increasing and decreasing the values. Changing the focal
length
10
is done by overwriting the given or default value. The decimal separator is
accepted as a comma (
,
) and point (
.
) as well. Also values like 88, without decimal
separator and fraction are accepted.
After using one of the calculation buttons “Auto Portrait”, “Auto Landscape”, “Manual
Portrait” or “Manual Landscape”
23/24
the program will calculate all the necessary Mul-
tiRow parameters and are displayed in the “Parameter Outputs” field
25
.
The selected
ANGLE (H)
13
in 45°-steps and the calculated
NPos (H)
17
are the pa-
rameters to be entered into the PanoMachine.
In “Auto Portrait” and “Auto Landscape”
21/22
the “
NPos (H)
”
17
and the “No. of im-
ages (V)”
19
are calculated automatically. In “Manual Portrait” and “Manual Land-
scape”
23/24
the “
NPos (H)
”
17
and “No. of images (V)”
19
can be changed using the
arrow keys
18/20
.
After activating the “Select” button
5,
the database for the “Camera Parameter” opens.
In there, the camera model, sensor size, number of pixels x/y and also the dead angle
of the panorama head can be chosen, activated or changed. The parameters in the
database can be saved permanently to hard disk by pressing the “Save Database”
button in the database window. More about this issue in chapter 2.4.
