Panoramic Stitching
Every photographer, no matter which camera and lens of choice, would most likely need some stitching to put together great, in-depth, high quality panoramic photos. Stitching can be done using computer software to conjoin images together to create a stunning panorama. The most basic form of stitching is stitching a single row panorama picture. Computer software also has to warp the dimensions of the photos for your panorama in able to correctly join the photos together. The following list shows different kinds of stitching in computer software that you may need to get a great panoramic image.
Mosaic- Stitches multiple rows of pictures without rotating the camera around a single focus point. The camera is kept parallel to the subject.
Single Row Panorama- Stitches a single row of pictures and is created by rotating the camera around a single focus point on a flat surface point that is parallel to the event horizon.
Multi Row Panorama- Stitches multiple rows of pictures and is created almost as that of a single row panorama, but the camera is tilted or panned up and down so that for each row the lens is not parallel with the axis of rotation.
Pano Camera Panorama- Stitches together the ends of panoramic photos taken by a panoramic camera.
Single Shot Panorama- Using a <i>parabolic mirror</i> (a cone-shaped mirror with a round tip, whose cross-section is shaped like the top of a parabola) to extract an image.
Spherical Panorama- Stitches a number of pictures together to create a globe-like photo. The top and bottom of the pictures are stitched together so that the viewer can see a well-put panorama photo.
