RICOH 910725 THETA V 360 Degree Spherical Camera - Metallic Grey

Product Information

Being the successor to the GoPro Fusion, the GoPro Max features dual 180-degree lenses. it shoots 1440p 60 fps video with a single lens and 5.6k 30 fps spherical clips. For photos, the Max’s lens shoots 16.6-megapixel 360-degree photos, 5.5-megapixel 4:3 shots all from one camera. Additionally, the camera can shoot 270-degree 6.2-megapixel panoramic photos. While the core functionality is similar across most 360 video cameras, there are some special features that can set a camera apart. These often expand the camera’s capabilities or make it easier to use, but sometimes they just make it more fun. Chang, A.; Dai, A.; Funkhouser, T.; Halber, M.; Niessner, M.; Savva, M.; Zhang, Y.

[ Google Scholar] Add GPS, a compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3D audio, and compatibility with existing GoPro mounts, and the waterproof (to a depth of 5m) Fusion is a powerful camera for the price. The newer GoPro Max brings a front-facing screen, a more compact design, six microphones (rather than four) and better image stabilization. The Fusion's last software update was also over a year ago, if these issues don't bother you then it's definitely worth considering if you need a waterproof 360-degree camera. At first blush, the Theta V looks just like every other Theta that came before it. It's kind of popsicle-shaped with a hemispherical lens on either side and a big, friendly shutter button right where your thumb sits. Simple lights shine through the camera's case let you know which shooting mode you've selected and whether or not Wi-Fi is turned on. I think the exterior design is what makes the Theta intuitive and approachable. Its smooth, simple layout eschews the macho cues you'd see on action-aimed models like Garmin's Virb 360 and it's inviting to use rather than intimidating. Digging into your workflow and distribution needs will establish a starting place for your 360 video camera search. Knowing what you want to do with your 360 video will give you a more informed perspective when considering other factors like resolution and form factor. 369 camera resolution Rhee, T.; Petikam, L.; Allen, B.; Chalmers, A.

So much so, that one asphere can oftentimes negate the need for many of the standard lens elements that would otherwise be needed to achieve the same effect. There are also several apps you can install on your phone to control the Theta and make it take a sequence of exposures.

In Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Salt Lake City, UT, USA, 18–23 June 2018. [ Google Scholar] We test cameras both in real-world shooting scenarios and in carefully controlled lab conditions. Our lab tests measure resolution, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio. Resolution is measured using ISO resolution charts and quoted in line widths/picture height, which is independent of sensor size. Dynamic range is measured using DxO Analyzer test equipment and the results are expressed as EV values. DxO Analyzer is also used for noise analysis across the camera's ISO range, with results quoted as a signal-to-noise ratio. We typically choose three competing cameras to offer a performance comparison and some context. Adjabi, I.; Ouahabi, A.; Benzaoui, A.; Taleb-Ahmed, A.

Did You Lose Money To Any Scams?

The surface of an aspherical lens can never be part of a sphere or cylinder. The curve changes in certain parts of the lens surface to focus the light better. This change in the surface corrects all kinds of aberrations.

As for the Lion King, I don't know if you've watched the musical IRL but the opening sequence is perfect for 360 because the audience is surrounded by animals coming from all directions. I understand if you prefer a more structured and linear presentation. But can you see how some people might like the perspective of being literally in the middle of the action, kind of like someone being called in a concert to join the performers on stage. The camera has two power options: a non-removable rechargeable battery for up to 90 minutes of operation, and a USB-C port for continuous operation when plugged in. Finally, Sphericam features a total of 8 mounting points, each a standard threaded 1/4-20 offering, for use with various third-party mounting accessories.Laga, H.; Jospin, L.V.; Boussaid, F.; Bennamoun, M.
