How far can a GoPro go (2)
« on: September 24, 2014, 01:12:58 AM »
 So we all knew the limitations of using a GoPro in the absence of fisheye support but now that the pre-release is available it's time to revisit this question. First dense cloud is looking very promising compared to an earlier test: https://sketchfab.com/models/a40abc9bec0940bdb1761a36b643bb2f

The car looks amazing compared to the previous version

So given that it's still a 12Mp image scattered across a very wide fov it's sooooo much better.  I'm not going to be rushing out and using my GoPro for photogrammetry though, but rather explore where fisheye lenses have a practical application, which is obviously in tight spaces to begin with.  Can't connect to my VM at the moment which is frustrating me because I had a few chunks processing overnight from a Canon 1Ds with a 15mm lens. Sparse clouds looked very exciting, but that'll be for another thread.  ;)

...and the new model: https://sketchfab.com/models/f1576784cb724f55986ccda1dcbf60f6
