Camera with multiple heads in fixed configuration

[Volker Wegener]

Hi,

we built a camera with 11 heads:

- 7 horizontal cameras, 12MP;  with lenses f=8.5mm, k=2.5, MOD=10cm

- 4 "top view" cameras, 5MP; with lenses f=5mm, k=1.8, MOD=10cm

We do know horizontal and vertical setup (angles).

It is our intention to use the camera on a car. We would like to stitch images in a batch process based on the known configuration, but have PTgui to perform the fine adjustment - if it can find control points.

Is this possible with PTgui?

Thanks,

Volker

Multi camera rigs will inevitably suffer from parallax problems. It
looks like you separated the lenses more than actually needed, which
will emphasize the problems. You won't get clean stitches this way.

PTGui supports template based stitching, which should be perfectly
possible as long as the setup doesn't change. However, above mentioned
restrictions apply, no matter whether you do individual or template
based stitching.
