yes this is def a nice trick and I wish DJI would do this automatically. Another possibility for them is to shoot 3 images near zenith 120 deg apart, I'm pretty sure it would reduce the hole to nothing or almost nothing at the expense of 1 extra image per pano - 36 instead of 35 images.
Great panos, @Hummingbird.UAV , but I can assure you mini3 does not cover the entire sphere and leave a rectangular hole in zenith. Here's mini3 pano stitched in PtGUI with the hole plainly visible;
Here's the same pano and hole in PanoVolo:
So my guess is panoramastitcher auto-fills this...
that's exactly what it is - there is a hole in zenith that drone leaves because it does not shoot straight up. You can close it to a different degree with PS context aware fill, or may be solid color or gradient fill, or by moving a couple of images as described below, but it's only patching...
Hi @Hummingbird.UAV
are you referring to the black area at the top of pano or something else? The black area is the part of the sphere that drone does not capture due to the gimbal tilt limit. Panovolo 1.7 will have an ability to fill it with some fake data.
A new version of PanoVolo - the panorama stitching tool dedicated to drone photography -has been released.
Main changes in this version
Built-in interactive photo sphere viewer. You can now view your fully spherical panoramas right after stitching in the built in interactive viewer with...
Hi @Shuttersky597 - edited the post, I see what you mean. This is a parallax error due to the drone being close to the building. Some shots were focused at closer distance, some further out and that caused a stitching error.
Generally for good panoramas try flying a bit further away so that...
Hi @Shuttersky597 - send us the examples please and we will take a look. You can share the images via Dropbox or Google drive with [email protected]. Thanks
