4.9 … create spherical QTVR panoramas (continued)
4.9.1 Software adjustments (continued)
For best sharpness results select a TDI Stage of 1x or 2.5x. It is possible to use higher
TDI Stages, however, for scenes which require a large depth of field the sharpness at the
top and bottom will not be optimal. The sharpness in the centre of the image will be
the same for all TDI Stages.
The image sensor is centred in the camera for TDI Stages 1x.
Choosing the best TDI Stages depends also on the scene. For spherical
panoramas with fine detail in the top/bottom of the sphere, select TDI 1x
or 2.5x. For scenes without detail in the top/bottom, you may also select
higher TDI Stages, for example, when photographing outdoors (sky).
Activate blending to avoid any change in the light conditions between the start and
the end of the picture to generate a sharp transition line in the viewer.
Open the camera parameter tab and activate “Blending 360°”. It is also possible to
define the size of the blending area (in this example 40°)
The blending option is active only when
360° images are taken. Choosing a smaller
or bigger angle will deactivate this option
