stitching multiple cameras with identical settings/model

[JAF]

Is it possible to stitch images taken from multiple cameras of the
exact same make and model? The images will all be taken within a few
milliseconds of each other with the same settings. The cameras will
all be located within a 1 foot radius of each other as well but
looking radially outward.

I could just try this but thought I would ask first.
Thanks.

Other than the individual shots won't all be taken from the NPP, nothing to stop you, they don't all have to be the same camera/lens, but it makes it a lot more difficult to account for all the differences in white balance, exposure etc.

Thanks Geoff.
If I have synchronized video from multiple cameras in this cluster can
PtGUI merge the videos into a spherical video? Just as an FYI, you can
see why I ask by looking at our website at www.lidarusa.com. We have
built a disruptive 3D mobile mapping system with lasers and cameras.
Some clients want a spherical video view. Currently this can be done
using the LadyBug camera but I'm looking at something else.
Thanks again. Jeff (alternative spelling!)

You have to split the video in single images. Then PTGui can run in
batch mode and stitch them provided the camera positions where fixed.
However, if you shoot with different cameras you most probably get
parallax problems.

If your view doesn't extend 180x180� you can use a single camera with
circular fisheye lens and remap your video to spherical using f.e. mpremap:

This is relatively easy, as Erik said, it's just a big batch stitching process. Here is an exams what I'm working on right now: http://nypano.com/clients/360video/index.html

Hi Joergen,
My name is Ivan and I'm from Slovenia. I'm quite "new" in virtual panorama. However. I would like to ask you what kind of equipment do you use in your "ski sample video"???
This is TOTALLY new for me and I like it, I like a lot :)

Thank you for liking it. it is not only totally new to you, it is pretty much totally new to anybody else on the planet, as it is a new camera prototype i am developing. I can't show more details of the rig at the moment, since it is under development.

Yes Joergen, it really works fine, and it is astonishingly good as stitching!!

I can see a lot through the small evidences and details, I think my "reverse engeneering" abilities are very well trained in the panoramic field.

I'll keep quiet and dumb till I see your release!!!

I have the feeling you really reached in hacking and doing some things I was only supposing and vaguely thinking about.

All my kudos!

I'm investigating in the direction of panovideo language, so my interest is completely awake...

:-D

If I can do anything or help anyway, let me know.
