The Balcony Panorama
With the limited view from a balcony, the result is a half spherical panorama with 180°×180°.
This is quite different from the Tower Panorama.In the Balcony Panorama, the half sphere is to one side only:
In this example, 6 full frame fisheye pictures cover the 180°×180°:
The 360°×180° equirectangular panorama editor view displays only half the view as expected:
The cropped picture shows the equirectangular projection of the half sphere:
Different projection can be used to minimize the visible distortion.
The Transversal projections are ideal because of the large vertical field of view.
The Transversal Equirectangular projection:
or the edge-of-the-world projection:
The Transversal Cylindrical projection:
The Transversal Mercator projection:
The Transversal Vedutismo projection:
The Stereographic (circular fisheye) projection:
And the little Planet projection:
Compared to the Cylindrical projection:
And the normal rectangular projection.
That wide angle lens has to cover 150°. Good to have a 🐟👁:
