Image stitching

“Image stitching” have you heard this word before?
If yes then you are a person who should read this article and if no! Then you are the right person to read this article.

Virtual panorama photography, panorama creation and virtual panorama stitching are gaining attention these days. The application of these being unlimited are said to conquer the next generation. Normal photography can capture an area which a human eye can see, but photo stitching captures a wide angle view.

I would first like to explain the three terms I discussed prior “ panorama photography”, “virtual panorama design” and “virtual tours”, before I continue to write on the next generation virtual panorama design.

360 degree panorama photography is a photography technique of capturing a wide area in a photographic image, basically an image of 2:1 aspect ratio i.e. an image with twice the length than the width.

Panoramic creation is a process of creating a “Tiff” or a “jpeg” image (a panorama output) by stitching different exposures and angles.

Virtual tours are representation of a panoramic image on a moving canvas that resembles the real world view of that photograph to human eye.

It becomes very hard to picturize a wide area through a normal camera and photograph, imagine 500 persons sitting around a room. You cannot capture them through normal camera on a single photograph, here panorama gets attention.

Panoramas are created by assembling a group of images shot at different angles in an area. A camera with a rotating head over a tripod is mounted to capture different shots across a background. The camera remains at a unvarying place and captures different shots by simultaneous rotations and exposures. To get a better image of a location different shots are captured for the same location or same object. These are combined to get a perfect clarity.

All the shots of an area are stitched using software’s for stitching such as PTGUI or Pano Viewer. These stitched photos are later checked for clarity and corrected through photo retouching and restoration in Photoshop. The images being shot for a panoramic creation should have an overlap with the next image in series to get perfect panorama stitched. The better the shots are taken the better will be the final panorama output.

Also HDR “high dynamic range” imaging is used to create a panorama, HDR images are created by combining a dark and a bright exposure of same image. According to Charles Wyckoff “ an HDR is the process of tone mapping together with bracketed exposures of normal digital images, giving the end result a high, often exaggerated dynamic range” [ taken from wikipedia ].

A virtual tour is also used nower days to capture areas of large hotels, houses (real estate) and conference halls and represented through virtual tours. Virtual tours are created by compounding several panoramas into a flash or “QT” template and then integrated into a website that is kept live for visitors.


Virtual panorama in the next generation will be used for games and promos. It is also helpful for animators to portray the real world with visual effects to create a virtual reality space. I do suspect that promotion of games will get a fast starting point with the introduction of panoramas.

Panoramas have made each of us to sit at home and to get the real view of the hotels we want to stay or the home we want to buy. All can be verified without actual user intervention. For jewelry to show all the jewels is now easy through the representation of them through panoramas, no fear of theft.

The next generation will see a great advancement in this area of art, even though recession has slow down the growth but still I believe it will surpass the barriers to get out breathing the fresh air of luck and development again.

Photoshop Masking Services for your difficult hairs

When you design an animated video you want the main object to be without a background. This helps to place it on several background and use various styles to it.

Animating video is based on certain theme which you select before the actual work begins. If your object is a book or a pen you can easily remove it from its background using clipping path(a pen tool is used in Photoshop for image clipping paths). When the image or object is a girl / boy with big hairs or a peacock with feathers spread around then you cannot imagine clipping to solve your problem.

The next solution to this is the masking. Masking is a method in Photoshop that helps you clip or take out objects from its background. It helps to take out complex objects where minute details count; it has a pretty more work than a pen tool. Masking images are better in appearance as they can provide the detailed hairs even removed from the background image.

You can later use them for your animations. Detailed instructions describing how an photoshop image masking operation is done can be obtained from any tutorial, but as I discussed about it I will explain in brief.

Steps for masking an image:

1. Make a duplicate layer of the image so that we are not manipulating the original one.
2. You can then hide the background through the visibility icon. Click it to hide the background.
3. Then choose Color Range from the Menu above and select the Left Eye Dropper tool and select the background color. Make the picture mostly black by moving fuzziness slider and till you get the background clean. White is the area which we need to remove.
4. Select the Channels palette with your selection being kept active.
5. Click the save selection channel button, to make the new alpha channel visible.
6. Press “Ctrl” to Deselect and click on Alpha 1 in the channels palette.
7. This will make the main window turn black and white.
8. Now choose a brush and make the edge hard and paint over all the areas that belong in the object to mask out.
9. Hold “Ctrl” key and click on the Alpha 1 thumbnail. You will now see an active selection.
10. Then click on RGB to see the color image and choose the working layer and press the Backspace key. Now you have your object masked.

The steps are very easy; you need to do adjustments so that the object does not lose its details. While masking in Photoshop you may notice that there are certain areas that need a bit fine tuning. You can then repeat the above steps to get a bit best effect.

When you use this technique regularly, you will notice that it is all easy to get the things done. Also you may appoint some staffs who are better at these skills and you can focus on other tasks for animating your video.

With the outsourcing trend being active, many Design firms have started outsourcing their works offshore to cut down their work and to take out excess manpower and infrastructure requirements.

As far as image outsourcing is concerned the editing of images is not so bad. You may trust a better organization in the market, which has proved its expertise with its work. Try providing a tedious work at first. Get it fine and then you can be sure at your later works.

Best graphics magician –Picture Manipulation

Have you heard about PC Sarkar, Sylvester the jester, Andrew goldenhersh, David Blaine? They are not at all my friends; they are the great magicians of the world. Magic is an art of making something that is nothing. It means creating something which does not exist or is not predicted to survive at a peculiar time. Magicians are always liked by children’s and grown up’s. People often try to copy them for what they do.

You can or cannot be a magician, but you can of course use a magician; none other than the magician of graphics, whom I call photoshop image manipulation.

Picture manipulation is a magician of graphics that can create surprising effects like to human magicians or lot more than they can create. Can a human magician create a man with goats face, pig’s tail, giraffe’s neck and stomach of hippopotamus? No, of course not but photoshop image manipulation can do that.

With photo manipulation you can generate life in all the ideas that comes in your mind. Photoshop image manipulation is not a tool of any software but it is a technique that is used to manipulate / change images to reflect the imagination of a designer.

If you notice the pictures that come to your mails being forwarded by your friends like a man with a tail or baby with a mustache then don’t be surprised. They are the after effects of image manipulation techniques.

I still remember one of the photographs I received in my mail 2 weeks before. It pictured a man with a stomach large as 10 meters, with a caption “first man to be shown in Guinness book of world records for his biggest stomach.” I was surprised to read it and thought can anyone have such a big stomach? Then I was able to understand that it was the output of a creative photo manipulation.

How better they look, the more they have efforts behind them. It is hard and tedious to work upon an image that has to be manipulated to an imaginative character or theme. You can create and generate outstanding achievements in this field of art. More that an art it is a skill none other than a god’s gift. Everything in manipulation cannot be done through software; it requires human intervention to get the things created with a various taste.

If you can be a person who has skills and confidence at creating things then you are the best person to handle this magician.

The significant note I would like to mention with this magician would be “Handle with care”. As each valuable resource has its advantages and disadvantages, so has this little chap. Manipulation though is cool to eyes may even make large problems if it is not used properly. As you can create a dog out of a cat so is the adverse effect connected to it. It can be used improperly to make scams and fake photos.

So use it to make deigns and art that never cause harm to others or hurt their feelings. An art expresses 1000, 10000 meaning; they are not described they are predicted so try to use them to be predicted better.
