how many pictures for panoramas


Recommended Posts

I don’t know if there’s a limit but I’d expect it to be higher than fourteen, and certainly higher than five or six! Do the excluded pictures get stitched together successfully as a separate set?

Make sure there’s a significant overlap between adjacent pictures in the sequence.

How much overlap is there? I think you need at least 15%, but I’ve seen recommendations that it should be 20% or even 25%.

Have you tried stitching four or five together at a time, to give you three small panoramas, and then stitching those three small panos?

I always take panorama’s with about 30% overlap, this gives the software plenty of control points to use.

It could also be the subject, and the software is finding it hard to apply control points in certain images breaking the stitch process.

This is certainly true for cloudscapes.

i am starting to wander if it is the subject a friend is painting a mural on a wall with different themes and its about 80 meters long they all join together to form the mural  

How many of your 14 shots include much (if any) overlap where the mural transitions from one theme to the next?

Even without any overlap, each of the current 14 photos would have to cover a section about six metres wide. It sounds as though you may need more photos to give the stitching algorithm enough detail to latch onto.

Off-topic note from the Department of Redundancy Department: If it weren’t on a wall it wouldn’t be a mural!

Funny, I just produced some cloudscape panos. I think maximum amount of shots was 7, there were a lot of overlap, no problems (unless you count that when you think shots were all vertical but they stitched to a steep angle... I guess that is to be expected when shooting wide angle. On the other hand, AP does not seem to have any corrections built in like PS?)
