Panorama Stitching

Overview

A panorama is a wide, all-encompassing view from the Greek pan ("all") horama ("view"). A growing specialty in web-based photography is the creation and display of panoramic photos. These are photos that have extreme width to height ratios, some even achieving 360 degrees of rotation about the viewer. Popular applications for these photos and ways to view them are increasing. Realtors now use panoramic photos with viewers on their websites to advertise specialty properties. Prospective buyers visit the website and, using their own mouse, navigate a "viewer" to scan a panoramic view of a property or home in any direction they wish - adding a dimension of reality never before possible.

With the exception of some specialty panoramic capable cameras, most panoramic photos are assembled by overlapping several regularly framed photos, in a process called "stitching", into a continuous photo with no noticeable "seams".

This process is not trivial. Camera lenses inherently distort photos, more as you go toward wide-angle, and especially around the edges - just where you end up having to overlap and stitch them. The proper method to do this is quite complex and requires parametric distortion techniques that attempt to warp and match the distortions together.

Panoramas

We've developed tools, techniques and procedures and that, along with substantial experience, allow us to create a single panoramic photo from your panoramic segment photos. The photo we create is as high resolution as possible, anywhere from 30 - 190 MB.

Visit our Panorama Gallery Index and explore the many examples on this site.

If you send us your overlapping photos, we'll construct a high resolution panoramic photo, put it on a CD, and return it and your originals to you by certified mail. We can also integrate your panorama photo with a java panorama viewer into a web-ready HTML page, complete with instructions on how to set and control photo display parameters. This viewer can optionally display clickable 'hot spots' that will display user defined text or link to other pages. We can print the panorama we create for you up to 13" x 44".

Requirements:
  • Adjacent photos must overlap each other by at least 20%.
  • Photos must all be either portrait or landscape.
  • Exposure/color balance similar as possible across all photos.
  • The "horizon" should be at nearly the same point in all photos.

Exceptions to these requirements may be considered with custom pricing.

Extra media backup copies are available at a slight extra cost. We pay the postage on orders over $100.

Pricing

Pricing for our panorama creation services is based on the number of photos that need to be stitched together and the final photo's angle of view. Scanning charges are added for 35mm film or print originals. If its a 360 degree view, there is an additional step involved in matching up the two ends. The average file size of the panorama also corresponds to the number of photos.
