Partial Panorama Video

  • Does the KRpano video player allow input of partial panorama panorama imagery? I would like to use a GoPro hero2 camera to take 11mp photos in continuous shoot mode taking a frame every half second along a corridor moving along slowly in a vehicle. The Gopro Hero2 image has a HFOV of about 167 degrees and about 130 degrees VFOV. I would like to string the images together to make a video and display using KRPao video player. Is this feasible? Anyone out ther trying this - if so can you send a sample link and share your workflow process to create the video? Thank you, Jim.

  • Hi,

    yes, any kind of partial pano video is possible as long as the projection of the image is spherical or cylindrical,

    technically there is no difference to a normal partial pano, define the hfov and optionally also the vfov, voffset for the pano,
    e.g.

    Code
    <image type="SPHERE" hfov="130" vfov="90" voffset="0">
      <sphere url="plugin:video" />
    </image>

    just as small tip - the hfov, vfov, voffset settings can be changed interactively in the options plugins,

    about the Gopro Hero2 images - you will need to remap them to spherical but then they can be used,

    best regards,
    Klaus
