Campus Panorama
September 9th, 2006 by Jerry
Tried another panorama, this time on Baylor campus, and this time using the wide angle lens. I had tried a similar shot earlier using the 28mm lens, but the number of shots required made the panorama very hard to construct. I found other problems while trying to stitch the wide angle shots, though. The perspective and spherical distortions and chromatic aberration at the edges probably made it hard for libpano to reproject the images to stitch them together.
In other words, this panorama is not perfect by any means. There are several stitch errors. It’s mostly due to photo coverage and the fact that it’s very hard to align images along bricks, grass, or trees. I still think it looks good.. I’ll probably be able to fix the stitch errors by adding more control points, but for now, it’ll have to do.
(Sorry about the techno-babble – It’s hard to dial that down at 2am.)
