Using krpano with Egg Solutions Egg lens?

  • Has anyone used krpano with panorama files generated from the Egg Lens? It's an older one-shot 360 lens that captures 30 degrees above the horizon and 60 degrees below (for total 90 x 360 degrees).

    If the panorama has been unwrapped and is thus 1 JPG photo, what would the best route be to using this with krpano? Pad the image with black on the top and bottom and use it as spherical? Or is there a better way to specify the constraint parameters to the viewer so that the image doesn't have to be made larger to accommodate the vertical field of view?

    This is what I'm talking about:

    Thanks for any insight you can provide! *thumbsup*

  • Hi,

    when the image was unwrapped to a spherical or cylindrical projection,
    it can be used direct (version 1.0.8 needed),

    e.g. try that code for a spherical projected image:

    Code
    <view limitview="off" />
    
    
    <image type="SPHERE" hfov="360" vfov="90" voffset="+15">
      <sphere url="pano.jpg" />
    </image>

    or that or a cylindrical one:

    Code
    <view limitview="off" />
    
    
    <image type="CYLINDER" hfov="360" vfov="90" voffset="+15">
       <cylinder url="pano.jpg" />
     </image>

    the "voffset" parameter shifts the image up or down,
    when you say it captures 30 degrees above the horizon and 60 degrees below,
    it needed to be shift 15 degree down to center the horizon correct,
    e.g.
    upper pano edge = -vfov/2 + voffset
    or:
    lower pano edge = +vfov/2 + voffset

    with values:
    -30 = -90/2 + voffset
    or:
    +60 = +90/2 + voffset

    voffset = -30 + 90/2 = +15

    best regards,
    Klaus

  • Hi Klaus,

    To add to Stephan's post, In using krpano Viewer on the server, we get a "license Error" which then redirects to the krpano.com site. Can you help us with that? Or is it because it's a beta version?

    On the local machine it does work.

    Thanks
