Figure 5.3: Spherical Panorama
To create images for a spherical panorama, the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV will keep its
current position, and do multiple 360° turns around the yaw axis. The camera tilt
angle is set to point downwards during the first turn. With every subsequent turn, the
camera will be tilted upwards a bit further, until it will point fully upwards during the
last turn. Follow these steps to do a spherical panorama:
Do all necessary camera adjustments, take off and fly the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV to
