Having fun on the computer.
We flew the State Fair of Oklahoma this weekend. It is "just" 222 images that the program mosaics into one big image. If things stay still it does a great job. For some reason all the people move around, and the cars they drive around move, and worst of all is the rides.
Somehow I don't think may people would want to go a sit, or a stay. They want some movement in the ride. and they like to move in all directions. With a 40 or 50 images that can see a single point, the program builds a 3D map of the surface of the ground and what is on it. Since the rides move around, the image becomes a blob shape with the images draped over it. I have to manually edit those parts to use the just the right images and make it look like reality.
And there are 11 million rise out there I think. It seems endless.
Maybe next year we can tell everyone to hold still for the 30 minutes we need to fly it all. Yea, that will work!
