how many pictures does it take to create a 360 panorama image?

[kaison]

Excuse a newbie question! I wonder how many pictures with a camera it
would take to create a 360 degrees panorama image with Hugin? Also, I
wonder if the program is able to detect or benefit from pictures that
have been taken using a fisheye lens?

Thank you in advance!

The Panotools wiki has a "getting started" article as a first introduction:
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Getting_started>
Basically you need some overlap between the images, 30% is plenty if you
use a tripod.

This article gives some answers to your questions.

Also check out the worldwidepanorama.org pages, these panoramas mostly
come with a good description of used hardware / software combinations.

You can use a fisheye lens.

The number of pictures needed depends on the lens and camera sensor
size.

There is a spreadsheet-based spherical panorama calculator which will
show you how many shots round and at which angles up and down you need
to take with various lenses using a panoramic head. It works with
later versions of Excel and with OpenOffice. It has French and English
language versions on the sheet tabs. You can find it at
