Tokyo city - 84 image "panorama" (dial-up warning

I've been moving house, travelling for work and well out of the loop in general, but thought I'd pop in to share this ...

http://roger.mindsocket.com.au/images/t ... scaled.jpg
Tokyo city - 84 image panorama (14 rows x 6 columns) - uploaded at 1/10th of full size - original is 23550x9360=220 megapixels - 515kB dial-up warning - JPG

Shot on a Canon 20D with a 17-85mm lens @ 85mm over a few minutes (after setting up). It was from a hotel room, so there's some extra glass in the way unfortunately. Stitched using autopano-sift -> hugin -> enblend -> ImageMagick. 1Gb of memory in the computer was just barely enough and it took aaaaages. I haven't been able to view the 900Mb tiff file yet. :)

Questions/feedback/comments welcome. I know it's not the most interesting scene around, but it was a good opportunity to try a "superpano".

Nice one

I heard from Dstrom you had been travelling and you took many gigabytes of images cant remember the number but a monumental amount of images

nice to hear your back

I'm very impressed Rog, great work. I've been hoping to do a big "2D" pano similar, but have been waiting for a view to suit it. Most impressed by the stitching job, but I suggest you do a dry blow clean, as I can see dust bunnies and in a pano like this it happens again and again.

Thanks for the feedback all.

Alpha_7, I gave the sensor a once over when I got back. Unfortunately I didn't get to the bunnies sooner. One day all the right factors will come together, batteries charged, blue sky, clean sensor, no power lines in the way, ........ :)

Nice work!
There are a few sections that I looked and thought I saw stitching errors but on closer examination it's actually the funky architecture of some of these buildings...

Not my personal favourite subject, but that's just me. ;)

This is really really bad 8) :lol:

Gary, do you like puns? If so, get thee to a punnery.

This is a really impressive pano given the number of images used to make it.

Holy crap! :)

That's awesome. I can't even get three images to stitch together properly!!

So you could print it out at 2m x 0.8m @300dpi and be able to scrutinise close up! I'd love to see that!

Very nice, most I’ve attempted is 12 pics and that was tough to stitch.

Woah, what an amazing effort, I'd have given up ages ago... :lol:

Looks as though there's heaps of detail in there, would look very, very impressive printed LARGE!

Well done, it looks great...

I'll try to extract a full-size crop and post it up soon.

Your calculations are spot on Paul. I don't know if I'd ever fork out for a print that big, maybe with a more interesting subject. :)

I got a full size crop and found a stitching error, so I think it might be back to the drawing board to fine-tune the automatic control points.

(only 1 stitching error), I'd still count that as an awesome achievement ROG. With THAT many seams to stitch. Wowsa!

Sorry, the crop was just a screenful. So, if there's one stitching error in that, who knows how many more there are in the other 200 odd megapixels.

That is one built up city. Great amount of detail. I could stare at a large print of this for ages. Terrific work.
