PANOVOLO is a tool for the precise stitching of drone-captured panoramas.
Image Compatibility:
Processes both JPEG and DNG (RAW) images, offering users flexibility in image selection.
When working with DNGs, the software employs 16-bit processing to retain the full dynamic range for enhanced post-processing capabilities.
Batch Processing:
Enables automatic stitching of images from multiple folders or directly from the drones SD card.
Horizon Straightening:
Automatically corrects curved horizons resulting from the drone cameras upward or downward orientation during capture.
Panorama Types and Projections:
Supports a wide range of drone panorama types including 180, wide-angle, and photo spheres.
Offers multiple panorama projections like Spherical, Cylindrical, Rectilinear, Mercator, and Stereographic.
3D Scene Review Tool:
Allows users to visualize and analyze the position and orientation of the drone and its gimbal for each captured image, aiding in the evaluation and planning of shooting sequences.
