But it was only a matter of time before someone dug into the software and opened the hardware up to a larger audience. Will it be? Intend to start uploading, perhaps as a separate user for only gear 360 pics, and see whether it makes sense for Mapillary to implement.Much like its Gear VR headset, Samsung's Gear 360 camera only works with a few high-end Samsung smartphones like the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. How to process these in batch? Pixelcount of jpg boils down to 2:1 for width:height, crop to square from left edge, save as left pic, then crop from right edge and save as right pic, feed both halves to perhaps Hugin rather than Ms ICE.Ĭan this be implemented? Undoubtedly. Plus that not having to stitch in Ms ICE saves in the order of two minutes per panorama : for me, that’s a huge time saving. Plus that some crossroads are quite busy, don’t allow to stand still and take those eight pics, while setting the Gear 360 to 5secs timer and sticking it up in the air allows me to merely stop one second. Impressed with the output : more pixels, better contrast, much better low-light / nighttime pics on lit streets performance.īoth the LG and the Samsung save their output in the form of two adjoining spherical images - spheres you’d expect from a fisheye lens, joined on one side means they’ll need to be split before converting them into a 360 panorama.Īdditional advantage that they capture what’s overhead and underfoot, from zenith to nadir for those who may be interested.Īdvantage for me as a contributor and mapper at OpenStreetMap is that one can catch say irregular crossroads in one go, rather than take six or eight separate pictures in all directions, then find Microsoft’s Image Composite Editor won’t stich them into a 360 panorama. half the price of the LG 360 which I had and returned October 2017.
May be a bit late in joining the Gear 360 (2016) party: just bought one last week, at approx.
