Indoor,it is rarelypossible to move far enough to cover the spacecompletely. A numberof frames has to be taken or special optics(fisheye) should beused. In these cases panorama is the solution.Usually, panorama onmobile devices is shoot using either of twomethods: - sweeppanorama - shooting is running continuously, andcamera is rotatedslowly and smoothly to capture entire scene. -pan-and-shootpanorama - multiple separate frames are shot: shoot -rotate -shoot - rotate, etc. Both cases have their own drawbacks.In caseof sweep panorama the shooting is actually happening invideo modeand the height of panorama is limited by maximumresolution forshooting video (for the majority of mobile devices itis 1280pixels). Also, it is impossible to get sharp result underlow-lightillumination, since camera is always in movement, andexposure foreach frame is rather long. On the other hand, ondevices withoutgyroscope, sweep panorama usually will give betterstitchingresults. Pan-and-shoot method allow to shoot panorama ofmaximumresolution, limited only by amount of available free memoryondevice. If device is equipped with gyro - it is possible torotatecamera quickly from one shot to another. In this case it isalsopossible to select the most appropriate focusing mode:autofocus,focus to infinity, or continuous focusing. HD Panoramaimplementsboth shooting methods. One of the problems while shootingpanorama- the necessity to strictly keep camera orientation toavoiddistortion of horizon line, and to avoid 'curvature' onframesequence. Otherwise only a narrow area will come out as aresult ofstitching. In HD Panorama there are 'augmented reality'guides.These are showing clearly how to orient camera to get idealresult.When using augmented reality - it is simply impossible toshoot theframe which will drop out of panorama line of sight. HDPanorama isstitching frames taking into account possible deviationsinillumination between frames and presence of moving objectsinpanorama field. HD Panorama is reproducing dynamic range ofthescene to the maximum extent and minimizing the movingobjectsstitching errors (ghosting removal). If you are aprofessionalphotographer, HD Panorama will allow to save the inputframescaptured, and stitch and possibly adjust them on yourpersonalcomputer.
