Stitching photos together

Have you ever been taking photos of an epic landscape, but had trouble fitting it all into one photo? Customers in Commercial Real Estate, as well as those in the Architecture & Engineering industry often want to see as much of a given area as possible and in a single image. Some landscapes are just too vast to capture in just one image, and this is where panoramas come in. Panoramic photos are really just several photos stitched together to make one really wide photo. There are different kinds of panoramas, all of which can be taken to the next level when shot with a drone. They all have roughly the same process for shooting and editing, but you can choose to get creative when stitching them together. Learn more about how to create interactive 360 degree panoramas by checking out our recent post on the subject.Like this video?

Because we will be stitching several photos together, it is important that all of the settings stay the same between the photos. When shooting in automatic, the camera might change exposure or white balance slightly between photos.Make sure you are shooting in RAW. The easiest way to stitch them together later is in Camera Raw, which needs RAW photos, not JPEGs. This also allows for much more detailed editing and color toning.Position your drone in the air at whatever height you choose (I think it works well at about 100-200ft). Take your first photo, and rotate the camera about 45 degrees to the right. Make sure that at least 30-40% of the second photo overlaps with the first photo to ensure that Photoshop has enough information to stitch the photos together. Turn on the grid to help guide you. Repeat this about 3-10 times, or until you’ve captured all of the landscape or returned all the way back to your starting point.Apps & AutomationThere are apps that will automate this process for you, such as Litchi or DronePan, or you can do it manually. I’ve found that doing this manually leaves room for error, and this can cause issues when stitching the photos together later. It is quick and easy to use an automated app, but some of them do cost a bit of money to download.**Tip for shooting: When you go to stitch your photos together, it can be hard to tell where panorama ends and the next one begins if you have taken more than one consecutively. So when you are shooting, take a picture of something else, such as a photo straight down at the ground, in between panoramas. This way, when you are going through your camera roll, it is easy to tell which photos belong together in one panorama.EditingOnce you have your photos, import them into Camera Raw and edit them as usual. One important step is to be sure to turn on profile corrections to get rid

Stitch-then-HDR worflow, you will stitch a panorama for each exposure level and then merge those panoramas in Photomatix. If you shot your panorama frames at -2, 0 and +2EV, for instance, you will load all your -2 EV photos in your panorama software, stitch them and save the resulting -2EV pano. You will do the same for the 0 EV and +2 EV photos, then merge the -2, 0 and +2 EV pano images in Photomatix Pro.Note that the Stitch-then-HDR workflow assumes the differently exposed panoramas are stitched the same way, i.e. using the same control points for each panorama. This can only work if your stitching software makes it possible to replicate the stitching parameters used for one panorama to another panorama, so that it can stitch the panorama at each exposure level exactly the same way. below) and with Autodesk Stitcher (see below). -->If this is not the case, you will have to use Photomatix prior to stitching, i.e. merging your bracketed shots for each one of the angle of views and then stitch together the resulting images. The second type of workflow, HDR-then-Stitch, avoids multiple stitches per pano, which is an advantage if your pano is composed of a limited number of views. The drawback, however, is that this approach may not work well with the dynamic range increase techniques that take the most advantage of local contrast, especially the Details Enhancer method. Because local contrast is specific to a given view, those techniques produce images with different tone levels, making them more difficult to stitch. It does not necessarily mean, though, that you won't be able to stitch images obtained via HDR Tone Mapping. We have heard for instance that Autodesk Stitcher does a good job at stitching tone mapped images produced by Photomatix Pro. If you have similar experiences with other stitching applications, please let us know. --> To summarize (for the case of stitching software does not support 32-bit HDR):If you want to avoid multi-exposure stitching OR your panorama software does not support identical stitching:Take three bracketed exposures of each part of your panorama
