Example 360 Spin Output
Summary
Watch a video demo of the semi automatic centering feature of PhotoRobot Controls App. The video follows the workflow of photographing an oddly-shaped object, which slightly tilts off-axis in photos. This produces a wobble effect in the spin, where the top of the object is slightly off of the vertical axis. However, we demonstrate how to quickly realign the object to the center of rotation. That includes recalculating the center of 36 photos in the image set in only a few clicks. Judge for yourself just how quick and easy it becomes thanks to PhotoRobot Controls.

00:04 In 360° photography, items such as this concrete mixer can give us a hard time. We often have to ask, how do we get from this to this?
00:15 When we do 360° photos of products, we very often face a unique problem, which is a tilted product. When you start spinning it around, like I'm doing right now, you see that it gets a wobble at the top, which just doesn't look very good.
00:28 Now, I need to fix this in 36 pictures photographed with a 26 MPx camera, which is quite a lot of data. So luckily, we have PhotoRobot_Controls.
00:38 I click change and I add the centring algorithm, and I click Adjust Manually, which is actually a semi-automatic algorithm. I tell the software in one image, the second image, and finally the third one where the vertical line should be.
00:59 And that's enough. It will recalculate it for the remaining images - which just happened. And now when I start spinning around, you see that the wobble is gone. Job done. And this is just one of the many features that we can offer. Thank you for watching.
