Eyesis4Pi Footage Procedures page

Step 1

Step 1

• Processing folder-input

A folder at "/data/footage" with the acquired images in the indexed subfolders.

• Filter Out Images with Non-Matching Timestamps-button

Filters out uncomplete panoramas (missing files).

• Generate KML-button

Creates a KML file (map_points.kml in the Processing folder) for Eyesis Panorama Previewer.

Step 2

Step 2

Manual launch instructions (subject to changes soon)

• Launch ImageJ -> Plugins -> Compile & Run. Find and select EyesisCorrections.java.

Eyesis corrections plugin interface

• Restore button -> browse for default.corr-xml.
• Configure correction button - make sure that the following paths are set correctly:

Source files directory                - directory with the footage images
Sensor calibration directory          - [YOUR-PATH]/sensor_calibration_files
Aberration kernels (sharp) directory  - [YOUR-PATH]/kernels/sharp
Aberration kernels (smooth) directory - [YOUR-PATH]/kernels/smooth
Equirectangular maps directory(may be empty) - [YOUR-PATH]/kernels/eqr (it should be created automatically if the w/r rights of [YOUR-PATH]/kernels allow)

• Configure warping -> rebuild map files - this will create maps in [YOUR-PATH]/kernels/eqr. Will take ~5-10 minutes.
• Select source files -> select all the footage files to be processed.
• Process files to start the processing. Depending on the PC power can take ~30 minutes for a panorama of 19 images.

Step 3

Step 3

• Processing root folder-input

A root folder for post-processing - absolute path

• Sources subfolder-input

A folder with the JP4 source images in the Processing root folder - the sources are used for GPS data extraction.

• ImageJ-processed subfolder-input

A folder with the ImageJ plugin post-processing results to be stitched.

• Stitch-button

Launches "enblend" from a stitch.php script for all panoramas in ImageJ-processed subfolder:
 enblend -l 10 --no-optimize --fine-mask -a -v -w -o result.tif 1334546768_780764-*_EQR.tiff 1334546768_780764-*_EQR-*.tiff

• Split images for WebGL Editor

Cuts stitched panoramas into 8 pieces for the WebGL Editor.

Tiles for the WebGL Editor

• Compress images for Google Earth

Creates rescaled low resolution panoramas - so the KML file could be opened from Google Earth.

• Generate KML for the WebGL Editor

Scans all the source images in the Sources subfolder and creates a KML file with the GPS data. The file is saved into the Processing root folder
