Re: Stereo panoramas

[Michel Dusariez <dusariez@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

For  my 3D panoptic 360° stereo camera, I use the 1/30 rule, so the 3D can
be reproduced  in distances between  30x and 1000x the base, base = lateral
distance between the two optics. If you use greater distance you will have
hyperstereo and scale model effect. I have made experiments using one
camera and made two consecutives pictures lateraly spaced of 6 metres. Just
made pictures with nothing moving. Be quick moving for moving clouds.
Good luck with your project.

Michel
