Production of 360 Panoramic Photography

First of all, the production of 360 panoramic display needs corresponding shooting equipment, such as digital SLR camera, fisheye lens, panoramic pan/tilt, tripod and so on.

Recommended equipment configurations in the market, such as Nikon D90 digital SLR camera, Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens, JTS-Rotator panoramic pan/tilt, Weifeng 6307 tripod, need to take one picture every 60 degrees, that is, six pictures in the horizontal direction, plus two pictures in the upper and lower directions, and it takes ***6-8 pictures to make a 360-degree panoramic display.

Secondly, when making a 360 panoramic display, we need to use panoramic stitching software to stitch the images, and the whole process can be completed in about 2-3 minutes.

Finally, various viewing modes such as Flash, java and Quicktime can be released, which is more suitable for browsing and watching on the network.

360 panoramic photography of products:

Make a 360 panoramic display, in principle, the subject rotates, the camera is kept at a certain axis for multi-angle shooting, and then it is spliced in the form of FLASH frame animation; Since 200 1, many enterprises have applied 360 panoramic display products, but it is rare all the time.

With the demand of e-commerce commodity trading, many enterprises also produce professional equipment to shoot 360 panoramic animation products; But it has not been widely used.

manufacturing equipment

Theoretically, you can use any camera and lens to take a panoramic view. Even if you have no other equipment except the camera, you can take a 360-degree panoramic view. However, you will soon find it difficult to take a panoramic view by hand. To take better panoramic photos, you need the following equipment:

1. tripod: The tripod is used to ensure that the camera rotates at a central point and remains horizontal when rotating. In addition, when the exposure time is long, keep the camera stable to ensure good definition. You can also use a monopod, which is more convenient in some places if it is too small, but you must keep the position of the monopod when shooting. Sometimes if you want to take a panoramic view of the ultra-high position, you need an ultra-high tripod. Because panoramic shooting requires continuous shooting of multiple adjacent photos, it is necessary to keep the tripod level when rotating shooting. If you can't keep it horizontal, you will encounter trouble in the subsequent image processing-stitching panorama. Although you can often splice correctly, you may lose some parts of the panorama, which reduces the vertical viewing angle of the panorama, especially when shooting a complete 360-degree spherical panorama.

2. Level: Generally, the cheap level is almost useless, and it can't guarantee that it will remain level after installing a panoramic pan/tilt or camera on the tripod. If you shoot a spherical panorama, the requirement for the panoramic head to be completely horizontal is not high, because when splicing images with software, you can use software to control and correctly arrange the positions of the positioning images in the panorama. Nevertheless, when shooting multi-Zhang Quanjing images, the level is still indispensable.

3. Panoramic pan/tilt: It is an additional device placed on a tripod with a camera on it. Its function is to locate the camera when shooting each photo, so that the center of the camera is at the center of the tripod, thus eliminating the distortion caused by parallax and facilitating the subsequent software splicing. So the panoramic head allows you to easily adjust the position of the camera and lens center. In addition, the panoramic head often has a level and a scale to record the rotation angle when rotating the camera, which is necessary when taking several photos continuously.

4. Wide-angle lens: It is necessary to continuously take multiple photos by horizontally rotating the camera to cover the horizontal 360-degree viewing angle, then accurately position them and then splice them together to form a panoramic photo. Although all kinds of lenses can take a spherical panorama, the advantage of using a wide-angle lens is: 1, which can cover 360 degrees horizontally, without taking a few photos, and shooting and stitching are relatively simple. 2. The vertical viewing angle of wide-angle lens shooting is relatively large.

8mm lens is the widest angle lens suitable for any camera. It creates a circular image on the whole camera, covering almost 180 degrees. Undoubtedly, taking panoramic photos with 8mm lens is the quickest and simplest way to make panoramic photos, especially spherical panoramic photos, because it not only covers 360-degree viewing angle horizontally, but also almost 180-degree viewing angle vertically, that is, everything in the world can be taken, which reduces a lot of troubles in later software splicing.
