Getting started : upload a panorama
|
23
|
-----------------------------------
|
24
|
|
25
|
1. Go to the index and click "Ajouter un panorama", let upload process
|
26
|
2. Just click on the image in the subsequent list, and wait for it to be
|
27
|
processed (split into tiles) ;
|
28
|
3. Choose "accéder directement au panorama" to view it and use the red up-right box to enter
|
29
|
coordinates and altitudes from where the photos have beenn taken. *bouclage*
|
30
|
means that left and right borders are matching exactly (360° panorama).
|
31
|
4. Reference some known points by right clicking (see relevant section), the
|
32
|
others will get interpolated and presented to you on the view.
|
33
|

|
Viewing reference points
|
36
|
------------------------
|
37
|
|
38
|
You'll see big colored bubbles :
|
39
|
|
40
|
* *Blue points* : reference points you referenced and pointed by hand
|
41
|
* *Red points* : other panorama (click and fly to it !)
|
42
|
* *Green points* : reference points automatically placed (estimated according to
|
43
|
the blue ones)
|
44
|
|
45
|
|
46
|
Adding reference points
|
47
|
----------------------------
|
48
|
|
49
|
Reference points are known points you are likely to see from your panoramas,
|
50
|
they are a visual reference and a way to orientate your panoramas.
|
51
|
|
52
|
By default, there are no *ref_points*, you can create your own *ref_points* list
|
53
|
or use one of the provided lists.
|
54
|
|
55
|
To get started, copy one of the files from `ref_points` folder in the root
|
56
|
folder, remane it to `ref_points.local.php` and customize it.
|
57
|
|
58
|
*Hint: prefer to register the altitudes of the topmost point of a building: they
|
59
|
are the easire parts to aim from other panoramas.*

From this view you can use the *Reference points menu*. The reference points
|
69
|
menu allows you to set the orientation of your panorama by pointing at a known
|
70
|
location you visualize on the panorama.
|
71
|
|

### Saving of ref_points in a panorama ###
|
100
|
|
101
|
To make the position of ref points within a panorama permanents, you should
|
102
|
define them when configuring the panorama (see 3. of *Getting
|
103
|
started*). Otherwise, you have to configure them every time you view the
|
104
|
panorama.
|
105
|
|
106
|
A workaround is to delete the tiles/<pano name>/<pano name>.params file to get
|
107
|
prompted for parameters again, but lat/lon/alt are lost again.
|
108
|
|

|
### Cannot delete anything from the interface ###
