Stitching Issues TECHE 360 Anywhere Camera

[Adrian Judd]

Hi all,

First time posting here. I have recently purchased the pro version of PTGui and I am getting pretty good results stitching the 4 images taken by my 360 camera but they're not without issues that I can't seem to solve. 

As I am relatively new to the software I may be missing something obvious. I have aligned the images in the crop tab and run the optimizer again but the camera stand always seems odd and the final stitch, where the stitch lines are the red path that the stand is on varies in colour where the stitch line is.

I made sure the stand was level with the built in level for each shot. I have attached a link to google drive with one of the shots I took if somebody would be so kind as to advise me where I am going wrong please! :)

Thanks in advance, hope this is ok to post here.

Hi Adrian,

I gave your images a try, what about the attached project file? It looks
quite good to me.

You might even be able to use it as a template, without PTGui needing to
align the images: Load your images, File - Apply Template and then
straight to Create Panorama.

What I did for this project: I enabled Individual Crop for all images
(because the crop circles seem to be different). I've also enabled
individual shift because the crop circle may actually be asymmetric from
the lens optical center. Added control points but only at some distance
from the camera (to eliminate parallax effects).

Kind regards,

Adrian, I had a look at your images and I have to say I was shocked at how poor the image quality was in some of the images.  IMHO, for a UK price of £3000 you should expect vastly better quality and consistency from the four lenses.  If this set of images is a typical sample, I suggest you have the camera checked out and possibly replaced.

Yes, even though it has a 1" sensor, it has the 2 front eyes design.The photo looks sharpen alot.

This is the overlap area between images 1 and 4 at 100%:

Hi all,

Many thanks for the responses to my questions, very much appreciated. 

Joost, thank you so much! That template seems to be perfect, and as all shots are done on the same camera in the same location it should work well for them all I'm about to find out!

John, thanks. I primarily purchased this camera for the live streaming / internal stitching in 360 element and I have done a few live streams and it works quite well, however, I have had concerns around the quality of it. It's well past any warranty now and whilst support do get back to me, nothing ever gets resolved so I have learnt a valuable lesson with this one sadly. Support did dial in and updated the template for the internal stitch and I'm convinced that's when the quality took a nose dive. I know DNG files don't look great and I'm no photography expert but can't help agree with you the images from this camera are poor. The JPEGs are ok now the stitch is good and I'm using them for a virtual online tour so they will suffice, but one of the pocket insta cams for less than £300 would be way better than this, especially with HDR and the sun. 

Thanks Philip, these ones actually had the sharpening function switched off, you should see the JPEG with it on I didn't realise how bad it was for the image!!  

Once again thanks all.
