St. Patrick's House Panoramas

Monday, 21st of January, 2019

The following panoramic image was stitched together from 26 separate photographs using Microsoft ICE

Unfortunately there are a couple of severe stitching errors due to the fact that the photographs were taken hand-held instead using a tripod.

This first version uses cylindrical projection and there is an imperceptible amount of distortion in the image:

The corridors of St. Patrick's House - cylindrical projection

This next version uses perspective projection and while some lines are much straighter than in the cylindrical projection there is some severe distortion toward the edges of the image and relative distances are no longer maintained:

This version uses stereographic projection, which is usually used to make “little planets” and, unlike prespective projection above, relative distances have been maintained but a small amount of curvature is now present in all aspects of the image:

This last version uses transverse spherical projection and is like a cross between cylindrical and stereographic projection but with more severe distortion than any of the prvious versions:

The following 2 panoramas are quite shitty because I neglected to change the settings on my camera which I had set to a very high ISO and the resulting photographs were very grainy.
