Hi<br>
<br>
I was thinking of purchasing a 360 camera & assumed all would
have this feature built in. I was clearly mistaken.<br>
<br>
Can anyone recommend one which does?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<pre wrap="">A neat thing you can do is infill the base of the image where your
hand/body/head are to make it less distracting. For example all my 360
images on Mapillary do this ->
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/xfQGW4eK_ntjhRNyXDW5bQ">https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/xfQGW4eK_ntjhRNyXDW5bQ</a>
The script I use for this is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/andrewharvey/lg360-mapillary-helpers/blob/master/lg360_inpaint">https://github.com/andrewharvey/lg360-mapillary-helpers/blob/master/lg360_inpaint</a>
which
uses gmic's inpaint capabilities
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gmic.eu/reference.shtml#inpaint_matchpatch">http://gmic.eu/reference.shtml#inpaint_matchpatch</a>. The script takes a
black/white mask, then patches that part of the image on a thumbnail sized
image (to make it faster) then composites that into the final output.

Hi,
Some of you are probably aware that way back in 2010 I started developing
OpenTrailView , which aims to be a StreetView-like web application but
focusing on off-road routes such as hiking trails, with crowd-sourced
panoramas.
Recently, due to the increasing availability of 360 cameras and the
appearance of mature panorama APIs (e.g. Pannellum) and client-side routing
APIs (GeoJSON Path Finder) I have restarted work on OpenTrailView and did
an initial presentation at FOSDEM 2019 back in February.
Since then I have done further work and OpenTrailView, while still
incomplete, is in a state where I believe it's ready to start receiving
contributions.
It's available at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.opentrailview.org/">https://www.opentrailview.org/</a>
You can get an idea of how it allows you to 'walk' along OSM ways by
navigating in the default area (Southampton Common). There are also some
panoramas available close to Fernhurst, West Sussex (lat 51.05, lon -0.72).
There's a Nominatim search available if you switch to 'map' mode (see the
map icon).
If you signup and then login, you can contribute your own 360 panos.
Obviously follow the usual privacy considerations (no faces, no car number
plates) - panos will be moderated before they go live to ensure they do not
have any privacy violations amongst other things.
The key thing about this version is that it will use underlying OSM data
to auto-connect panoramas. This was not done on any previous version.
However, note that while the site will accept panos anywhere in the world,
at present, the auto-connection facility will only work in *Europe* plus
Turkey (I am using the Europe Geofabrik extract), as my server currently
only stores European data. Nonetheless I have had a possible offer of
helping with hosting costs so expansion to the entire world could well
happen soon.
The maps provided are rather basic, showing only highways, coastlines and
a few selected POIs, this is due to server capacity constraints. If anyone
is aware of a tile server I can use legitimately as a replacement, without
violating the usage policy, please let me know.
In similar style to OSM, panos will be copyright 'OTV360 contributors' and
licensed under CC-by-SA. IANAL but this seems to be the most common
practice.
Do remember once again that this is an unfinished product but it is now in
a state where I believe it is of interest to contributors.
