These may consist out of one or more rows.<
> Simply explained multiple images are combined with an overlap to form a panorama. <
><
> To create a panorama out of different images you need to have an extra program.<
> Those are i.e. '''"Hugin"''', '''"PTGui"''' or '''"!PanoramaStudio"''', just to name a few. <
> Information on those programs like creating a panorama and what must be considered can be found in the Internet. <
><
> (!) '''__HINT__'''<
> In general the programs edit the individual images from left to right, clockwise.<
> If you don't want to sort all images by hand it is advisable to take images in a clockwise direction. <
><
> = Example 1 - Single-row Panorama = In this example we want to take a 360° Panorama with a height of 30mtr. The camera should point straight forward.<
> For example, here we want to use a lens with a focal length of 8mm and a viewing angle of 180°.<
> To have a sufficient overlap of the images, four images should be taken in a circle. Within a 360° circle is that a photo every 90°. <
><
> '''Step 1''' <
> First at all you need to mark the point in the map from where the Kopter should start to make the images.<
> Here you need to make a "Left-click" with the mouse on the appropriate spot on the map. <
> At this spot appears a marking point {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100161&g2_serialNumber=1}}.<
><
> '''Step 2''' <
> For that reason that 4 images should be taken for the 360° Panorama the number must be entered under "WPs". <
> * '''#WPs''' = 4 Now you can set and enter the view direction for the first image which should be taken.<
> That has to be done here: <
> * '''Heading Offset [°]''' = 0 {OK} '''Hint'''<
> Here you can either enter a degree by yourself in which direction the Kopter should point for the first image,<
> or you place the Kopter with the front into the desired direction of the first image and you "click" on '''"Accept MK-Direction"'''.<
> The direction of the Kopter will be taken automatically into the "Heading Offset".<
><
> The direction in which the images are taken in a sequence can be entered under '''"Direction"'''. <
> Since the most of the Panorama-Programs handle images clockwise you need to choose '''"CW"''' (clockwise).<
> * '''"Direction"''' = CW <
><
> '''Step 3''' <
> Altogether there are four !WayPoints (for the 4 images) superimposed. In order to take the images also during windy conditions the '''"Radius [m]"''' __should not__ be too small. <
> If, for example, a radius of 1mtr. will be selected and a stronger wind is blowing out the copter from the position, it would turn first to the new direction. After that the Kopter would shoot more photos when it returns exactly (+/- 1mtr.) at the previous position.<
> However, that can be very difficult with stronger wind and it would need a long time. <
><
> We want to set here a radius of 10mtr.<
> * '''"Radius [m]"''' = 10 The Kopter should take the images out of a height of 30mtr. That will be entered under "Height".<
> * '''"Altitude [m]"''' = 30 For all photos the camera should point straight forward. For that reason the camera tilt will be entered with 0°.<
> * '''"Camera tilt [°]"''' = 0 The '''Climb rate''' can be ignored for the panorama scene in the same height. <
> If you want to take the photos in different heights you need to set the speed <
> in which the !WayPoints should be flown at that specific height.<
><
> To get several images per view direction (not all images are sharp!) you need to set the Waiting Time per !WayPoint and the WP-Event. * '''"Delay Time: [s]"''' = 10 * '''"WP event"''' = 100 '''Step 4''' <
> Those set up !WayPoints must be created now. Here you just need to "click" on '''"Generate"'''. (!) '''Hint'''<
> Is '''"Delete existing WPs"''' marked, with each "click" on "Generate" already existing !WayPoints on the map will be deleted.<
> If you take off the checkmark you can place i.e. several !WayPoints overlaped or at different places on the map.<

><
> After a "click" on the button '''"Generate"''' the !WayPoints with the settings will be entered automatically into the '''!WayPoint-Editor'''. <
> Under '''"Heading"''' you will see the alignment of the individual images: <
><
> [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101331&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101333&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <
><
> After that the 4 !WayPoints need to be entered into the map one above the other: <
><
> [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101401&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101404&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <
><
> Now you can transfer the !WayPoints to the Kopter and been flown. How this works is described under [[#Wegpunkteflug|"The WayPoint-Flight"]]. <
><
> = Example 2 - Multi-row panorama = In this example we want to take also a 360° panorama out of a height of 30mtr. <
> Here, the camera should point first straight forward, then inclined 45° downwards and finally we want to take an image straight downwards.<
><
> Used will be for example a lens with a focal length of 8mm and a viewing angle of 180°.<
> To get a sufficient overlap of the images, 4 images should be taken per circle. With a 360° circle is that an image every 90°.<
><
> '''First Step'''<
> In the first step you need to make the settings in that way like described in '''example 1'''. <
> If you have transfered those first settings into the map you need to make only two different changes. <
> '''Second Step'''<
> In the "First Step" all was set for the first images with a view "straight forward".<
> So that the camera should take in the second round all images 45° inclined it need to be set under '''"Camera tilt"'''. * '''"Camera tilt [°]"''' = 45 So that you get the following shots seamlessly after the first shots you need to remove the checkmark in "Delete existing WPs".<
><
> Those set up !WayPoints you need to create now. Here you need to "click" on '''"Generate"'''. <
><
> [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101321&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101323&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <
><
> After a "click" on "Generate" (4) the first !WayPoints (No. 1-4) will be entered into the Editor.<
> Then, after changing the tilt (5) and removing the check mark in "Delete existing WPS" (6) and "clicking" again on "Generate" (7) the new !WayPoints (No. 5-8) with the new tilt appears in the editor under the already existing ones: <
><
> [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101341&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101343&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <
><
> In the map the second panorama-entry will be placed over the existing one: <
><

><
> '''Third Step'''<
> In the last step we want set the camera in that way that it points for the last image straight downwards. <
><
> Here you can set in the '''"!WayPoint Editor"''' a new !WayPoint by yourself. Just "click" on '''!WayPoint''' and '''Add'''. <
> This automatically creates a new !WayPoint with the settings of the last !WayPoint. <
><
> For the last !WayPoint No.9 you just need to set a new camera tilt.<
> Continue with "click" on the entry '''"45"''' (45°) and open with the button '''"F2"''' the Editor.<
> Here now you need to enter the new camera tilt with '''"90"''' (90°) and just confirm it with '''"Enter"'''. <
><
> [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101350&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=101353&g2_serialNumber=2}}]] <
><
> Now the !WayPoints can be transferred to the Kopter and been flown. How that works is described under [[#Wegpunkteflug|"The WayPoint-Flight"]]. <
><
> = Settings to trigger the camera = In our '''Example 1+2''' the camera was triggered per !WayPoint. Here the time was set under '''WP event'''.<
><
> <> Those settings are described here: [[en/WaypointEvent|WP-Event Trigger camera]]<
><
> Alternatively the camera can be triggered continuously. Here you need to make two settings in the '''!KopterTool''' under the tab '''Outputs'''. <
><
> <> Those settings are described here: [[en/CameraConnect#Kamera|Triggering camera permanently]] <> = The WayPoint-Flight = The settings are made and the !WayPoints created.<
><
> In the next step the !WayPoints will be transfered to the Kopter (See also: [[en/MikroKopterTool-OSD#Transfer_WayPoints_to_the_Kopter|Transfer waypoints]]).<
> Bevor the start, the camera mount will be aligned in that way that the camera points straight forward (horizontally).<
><
> {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=104373&g2_serialNumber=2}}<
><
> Now you can start the Kopter and "park" it in the air. Activate the function '''"Hold Height"''' and '''"!PositionHold"'''. <
><
> So that the Kopter and the camera align itself (Kopter should show southward) you need to activate the function '''"!CareFree"'''.<
><
> In order to start now the !WayPoint-Flight the GPS-Switch must be set to '''"!ComingHome"'''.<
> Directly after switching, the Kopter starts with the !WayPoint-Flight.<
><
> Is the !WayPoint-Flight done the Kopter stops at the last !WayPoint. Now you can fly your Kopter back manually and land it.<
> You can set also the GPS-Switch to "OFF" and after that to "!ComingHome". The Kopter will fly automatically back to the start-point. = example panorama = Here is an example of a panorama, that was made as shown in the example above.<
><
> With the left pressed button of your mouse you can move the panorama. <
