《Panorama - Photo Stitcher》 is a simple powerful and easy-to-use application for panoramic image stitching developed based on machine vision, AI, image comparison, object recognition and other technologies. This program can help you easily stitch multiple overlapping photos into high-quality, high-resolution, and ultra-large visual range panoramic photos. Thanks to users who have provided feedback and suggestions. It is your feedback and suggestions that make our app more and more perfect. We will continue to provide more convenient and practical functions and applications. 1. Features ● Ultra-large range: panoramic photos can be taken and stitched automatically in both horizontal and vertical directions ● Simple and convenient: shoot directly through this App without frequently switching system cameras; or directly select the photos to be stitched, and you can stitch them quickly to 360° panorama with one click ● High resolution: panoramic photos with original resolution can be output without any compression ● Free use: no forced automatic cropping, retain the original panoramic photos after stitching, and let the user decide how to use them, reducing the inconvenience caused by incorrect cropping ● Widely used: perfect for remote adventures, landscape, architecture, oil painting, murals, large posters, newspapers, maps, aerial photography, astronomical photography, satellite photos, remote sensing, scanning, microscopic photography, macro, screenshots, etc. ● Local processing: The entire process of photo stitching is completed in your mobile phone, without relying on any server capabilities, so there is no need to worry about any personal privacy leakage 2. The system already has a panoramic photo function, why should I use this application? The panoramic photo function provided by the system only provides one-way expansion in the horizontal or vertical direction, while our App provides completely unrestricted panoramic photo shooting capabilities. You can expand the content you want to shoot in both the horizontal and vertical directions, and achieve ultra-wide space shooting that the system cannot provide at all. At the same time, it is more tolerant in use. The panoramic photo function of the system requires the stability of the mobile phone during shooting, while our App only needs to ensure the overlap of the shooting content, which can greatly improve the success rate of your panoramic photo shooting. Or, if you need to splice any other source of photos or pictures that already have been taken, such as making long screenshots, you can only use our App. 3. Principle Through machine vision, AI, image comparison, object recognition and other technologies, compare the received photos, determine the overlapping relationship between the photos, determine the final position of each photo in the final panoramic photo, and then splice all the photos into the final panoramic photo according to the positioning. After the splicing is completed, determine the unified exposure parameters according to the content of the synthesized photos, adjust the light and shadow of the whole picture, and eliminate the light and shadow differences caused by inconsistent exposure of different photos. Finally, according to the content of the synthesized photo, the distortion is repaired to obtain the final, uncropped panoramic photo. We hope you like our application and use it to take satisfactory and memorable panoramic photos. If you are satisfied with our App, please share our application with your friends and family. Please provide us with your valuable feedback, ratings and comments. Your opinions are very important to us. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to evaluate changes and improve our application. Thank you!
