Throwable Panoramic Ball Camera

"Panoramic photography creates fascinating images. Very wide angle images are closer to the human field of view than conventional pictures. If seen through a panoramic viewer they let us experience a location as if we were there. Panoramic image stitching can create panoramas from pictures taken one after another. Unfortunately, acquiring the images takes a lot of time and moving objects may cause ghosting. It is also difficult to obtain a full spherical panorama, because the downward picture cannot be captured while the camera is mounted on the tripod.

In this work, we present a throwable panoramic camera that solves these problems. The camera is thrown into the air and captures an image at the highest point of flight - when it is hardly moving. The camera takes full spherical panoramas, requires no preparation and images are taken instantaneously. It can capture scenes with many moving objects without producing ghosting artifacts and creates unique images.

Our camera uses 36 fixed-focus 2 megapixel mobile phone camera modules. The camera modules are mounted in a robust, 3D-printed, ball-shaped enclosure that is padded with foam and handles just like a ball. Our camera contains an accelerometer which we use to measure launch acceleration. Integration lets us predict rise time to the highest point, where we trigger the exposure. After catching the ball camera, pictures are downloaded in seconds using USB and automatically shown in our spherical panoramic viewer. This lets users interactively explore a full representation of the captured environment.

We used the camera to capture full spherical panoramas at scenic spots, in a crowded city square and in the middle of a group of people taking turns in throwing the camera. Above all we found that it is a very enjoyable, playful way to take pictures."

Peter Stjernfelt:
Den 7 november 2010 gick larmet om en dammolycka, på vägen ut i brandbilen pratade vi om vad det kunde vara för nått, någon kanot som var i nöd kanske?, inte hade vi förväntat oss denna vägg av vatten som kom forsandes med träd och annat bråte.. Filmen är tagen ca 1h 30min från att dammen brast då jag fick i uppdrag att flyga över och rapportera hur stora skadorna var..

Stan Drake

"Stan Drake experimenteert met methoden die zowel tijdbesparend als realiteitsverhogend werken. Daartoe neem hij foto's van gebouwen, steden, tuinen en parken en maakt er harde fotokopieën van waarbij alle grijstonen wegvallen. Door de zwartvlakken met oostindische inkt te accentueren en de witvlakken met witte verf bij te werken ontstaan er kant-en-klare zwart-wit-decors waar hij zijn personages en/of tekstballoons in kan zetten. De harde contrasten die Drake invoert zullen worden overgenomen door talrijke stripmakers na hem, o.a. in On Stage en Friday Foster"
