Virginia,
Apple has developed sotware to support their new Quicktime VR software. As I
understand it, it runs under Hypercard, and stitches the photos together.
Some of the early results that I have seen look pretty impressive for what
they were (3D viewing around an area). It might be useable for what you are
trying to do. I don't have any other information about the software and have
not used it myself. Try contacting Apple about the product. I hope that it is
not prohibitively expensive.
Regards,
Louis Shankle
I had a doctoral student working with some unrectified air photos from
the Argentine Andes come by and ask about software to join these
digitally so she could have a photomosaic of her study area. The
problem with running the "stitcher" programs that most handscanners come
with is, of course, that the air photos fall apart at the edges due to
camera angles and differences in atmospherics.
She has pretty good map coverage so that we think we should be able to
work out the correction equations so the results will look reasonable,
but she needs some software.
I used to have software that would do this on MVS and VM at UF, but
there's no VM here and practically speaking no MVS.
Does anybody reading this list know of package(s) that run either on a
PC (preferred) or a Mac (okay as there is a Mac about 10 feet from her
PC and both are on the network) that can do this task? SHAREWARE or
FREEWARE is WAY preferred over pricey alternatives. If it's for the PC,
it can run in DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2. For
the Mac, I think the only choice is System 7.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.
