Panorama technology
I've mentioned before that I do virtual tours on the weekends for extra cash. I also like to keep up with what's going with the software and hardware ends of creating these virtual tours. Well, just recently, Helmut Dersch, a german professor and creator of the free stitching tool ptstitcher, came up with a new idea. There's been an ongoing list of hardware and how fast it can stitch a gigapixel panorama. The fastest so far has been the 8 core mac with 12G of memory..until now. From Helmut's email: A few minutes ago I finished the first run of my latest toy, a fast stitcher blender specifically for gigapixel panos: 48min for Bernhard Vogls testproject, more than 30 min faster than his previous record. The stitcher uses a transformation stack like PTStitcher, the blender-technology is similar to enblend (i.e. dumb seam placement + multiresolution, 8 levels, blending), but is implemented differently and merged into the warper. The software is written for the Sony Playstation 3 with 256MByte of RAM (for the testproject never more than 60 MByte are actually required). No temp-image is ever written to disk or RAM and no more than 12 Gigabyte harddisk-space are needed. Who would've thought that a ps3 would be so freakin' fast! -- We were freedom From the moment that we hit the ground And the wild man He laid the thunder down ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:251550 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
