How to make 720 panorama with UAV?

As a manifestation of photographic works, 720 panorama is loved by people for its multi-angle and all-round display of the photographed scenery, and its application scope is wider. In this regard, as a photographer with a long-term high fever, I also tried to explore this new form of expression with drones. Now I will write some panoramic photos of myself to share with you.

First, choose the shooting target and observe the surrounding tall buildings and wires to ensure flight safety.

Select the shooting target

Second, according to the surrounding environment and shooting scene, determine the appropriate flying height, too high or too low is not conducive to the performance of the scene.

Step 3, set the exposure mode. Manual exposure mode (M) is strongly recommended.

Fourth, adjust the lens of the plane camera to the highest elevation angle, then rotate the plane at a fixed point, and take a picture every 15 degrees to start the first lap. Generally, 8- 10 pictures should be circled. Too many or too few pictures will affect the completion of the work.

Prepare to shoot 720 panorama

Fifth, take the DJI Elf series as an example, watch the lens pitch angle display scale on the right side of the display screen, generally in three squares, and so on * * * to complete four rounds of shooting.

Sixth, finally, take a picture of the ground vertically with the lens, so that you can get the lens of 33 Zhang Quanjing.

Finally, shoot a 720 panorama perpendicular to the ground.

Sixth, import the shot material into PTGUI stitching software to complete automatic stitching. At this time, you can see the panoramic view of the sky. (The aspect ratio in this drawing is 2: 1. If it does not meet this ratio, there is something wrong with the connector. )

720 panorama is automatically generated by PTGUI software.

Eighth, use PS retouching software, select sky-mending materials (downloadable on the Internet) to complete the production of panorama.

Ninth, finally, open the website with panoramic display function such as Cool Lehman official website, upload it and edit it accordingly, and complete all the production. These are just some basic steps for shooting and making panoramic views. In actual operation, there may be some requirements for the control of shooting quantity, stitching and later software operation, which can be learned and improved in actual shooting production.
