Subject: Re: [PanoToolsNG] Re: D800 moire solution if needed

 

It was interesting to see how big an issue the moire is on the D800 in the video, and even more interesting to know that there is a solution to the problem (yes, this is what I would clearly categorize as a serious problem).  The diffrence between the recording without and with the filter, is like day and night.

If the recording was not from D800 or D800e, your post would have been without any value, but I found it interesting and informative, and I appreciate you bringing this here.

I didn't bring this up to cause an issue for anyone.. it was intended as informational.. In typical landscape photography moire would not be an issue with the 800 it occasionally is with the e version primarily in some architectural shots.. For those that do product or fashion the issue pops up quiet a bit more.. and it uneceptable.. Granted, the filter would probably never had been brought to market if it wasn't for video needs. In the right situation it's a tool that might benefit a photographer... just saying... so your shooting style or subject matter gets you off the hook.. that's great.. I have both versions of the 800 and a D4.. All of which are also used for video production also..

 

As far as dealing with moire in post production.. I'm glad it's so easy for you.. We have to deal with it occasionally also.. It lowers the quality of the result and we typically don't like that.. So if we know we have a real issue we typically make a few changes if possible and retake.. If we can't then we do what your doing. 

 

Anyway , hopefully to close this. Am I to understand that it is improper to post stuff like this on this group? I fully realize that few here could benefit ... but that's more of an individual thing or needs I would think.. At any rate I was recently made aware of the product.. Their selling them so their getting used.. I just remembered all the conversation from back when and thought it might be relative to some one that had an e version they were wrestling with in this area.....Rest assured I'll not offer up anything like this again..

I finally got around to making a blog about 3d panoramas
http://www.stereopanoramas.com/blog/

I will put stitching etc articles on there eventually too -- is the plan

Hi Peter, this is a good news for all interested in 3D panoramas.

best wishes,

Don't forget the work of Alain Hamblenne, Belgium, who already has developed the anaglyph technique for 3D panoramas about ten years ago !

 

Anyone tested Hero3 cameras?

How is the new lens? How many degrees in photoes?

And in video mode!?!? Is the "cube camera" still feasible?

And in HI definition modes?!

And how is new sensor in low light?!!?

:-PP

It is not something you might want to do every day but it is possible. It could
be useful say if you had a  rig for gigapans that rotated the  DSLR steadily and
fired shots at a constant interval but was not NPP. Or if you wanted to use L/R
slice assembly from an off-axis single camera for stereo panoramas.

eg. Have an accurate (!) intervalometer (I use Pclix) that fires the DSLR say at
0.4 second intervals. Have the Gopro shooting at 30fps say. Have the Gopro
attached and next to the DSLR but in a NPP postion. In a video program you will
see the sound track spikes of the Gopro video corresponding to the DSLR
shutter/mirror noise. Every 12 (0.4*30) frames exactly the spikes will recur. So
if you decimate the video by a factor of 12 starting with the first synced
frames you have video frames that correspond (with a constant offset less than
1/60th second to the DSLR frames. Now if the motion of the rotation is primarily
simple approximately level rotation it means you can calibrate the DSLR frames
accurately with the Gopro frames.

Thanks Thomas.. the real message is that Adobe is abandining support for
it's older versions of software that are not being upgraded... That's the
real message right? For most it's not a big deal.. but their a few older
editions that run some older legacy software that is not available
anymore..That will cause an issue for a few of us.. In the end they will
need to support trhe original liscense agreement without support. if
needed.. but they can't deny a liscense.. I would sue them for that
infringement..

Thanks for the tip, Ayrton
Joergen is working on 360rig V5, for Hero3, I suppose.
I have to wait for this (and I don't know how long).
However I am also waiting for a faster and simpler workflow: Joergen told me
that to create 1 min on 360 video the stitching time is 2 hours (1:120). The new
video stitching software will short these times?

Another company form Canada,
however, despite the website is well made,
camera specifications are poor
(1920 x 1438 at 30 fps. FOV ???)
I am not sure we will se this item working a day...

Thanks for the replies,

sorry for my error.

A client that Pat Swovelin and I had together has requested a few changes to the
existing tour.  Pat did all the coding and I never asked how, so I am a true
newbie when trying to make adjustments to an xml.

I decided not to delete the lines of code pertaining to the panoramas from the
xml but rather to just hide them so that if the client decided that the
panoramas needed to be included again, the change wouldn't be too difficult.

Here is what I did:  I only wanted to hide one panorama at a time, so that if
something went wrong and the tour didn't load properly I would have an idea
where the problem was taking place.  I looked at each xml.  I did a keyword
search for the name of the specific panorama that I needed to hide.  Every time
I saw lines of code that pertained to that particular panorama, I did   <!--   
before the code started and then    --> at the end of the code.  That made it
all invisible.  Then I removed the panorama and it's thumbnail from the tour.  I
tested the tour and it said loading failed.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks-Stephani
