First, equipment preparation
Aircraft with photo function (such as Genie 4P, Goku 2, Imperial Series, etc.)
2. Shooting requirements
1. Take photos from three angles:
a. The camera shoots a circle horizontally;
b. The camera shoots a circle down 45 °;
c. Take a vertical portrait of the camera.
2. There should be 40% screen overlap between adjacent photos
Third, the post-synthesis software
1、PTGui 2、Photoshop
Fourth, the later synthesis steps
1. Open PTGui, click Load Image, and import aerial photos.
2. Click on the alignment image to automatically synthesize the panorama.
3. Click Create Panorama to enter the following page.
4. Set the file format and quality, it is recommended to set it to 100%, and the aspect ratio must be 2:1
5. Specify the location of the panorama export, or you can use the default settings.
6. Click Create Panorama to generate a panorama.
7, the use of PTGui automatic synthesis of the panorama, but because the aircraft can not take a picture of the sky, so the sky part is missing
8. Look for material pictures of empty scenes
9. Use ps software to stitch together the aerial panorama of the broken sky part, sky material, HDR color grading plug-in
10. Select a suitable sky material and drag it into the ps, adjust the size of the panoramic sky (top alignment, side alignment, horizon alignment)
11. Select a suitable sky material and drag it to the ps, adjust the size of the panoramic sky (top alignment, side alignment, horizon alignment)
12. Use the ps filter displacement tool to adjust the sun of the two pictures to the middle of the picture
13. Add a mask to the panoramic layer, select the Gradient tool: The gray density in the gradient type selection, and the circle options are consistent with this figure. Hold down shift, then hold down the left mouse button to pull down a straight line from the top of the sky, no longer than the horizon, and pull more than a few times to see the effect
(Note that the sky partially obscures the building because the building is too high in the picture, we can use the brush tool to paint the building out, select the brush tool, the foreground color is set to white, and the occluded part is smeared.) ）
14. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E merge layers and complete the day filling
15. Open Camera RAW to adjust the basic properties of the picture
16. Open the HDR plug-in tool
