Panoramic, or wrap-around, imagery conveys more than just simple geographical information; it gives the viewer a real sense of "place" as seen from a human perspective. This added dimension makes it a joy to explore any map and communicates more information about a particular location to the viewer than otherwise possible. Panoramic imagery is an economical way to let viewers "see" what it is like to actually be there. Seeing everything visible from that spot - signs, buildings, historic sites, trees, buildings, manholes, and more. A flat map is good, but panoramic imagery adds new reality. You are surrounded by it!
Panoramic maps were a popular (cartographic) form to depict U.S. cities and towns during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today we do not have to rely on an artist's rendering to give us the feet-on-the-street perspective -- Panoramic imagery has gone digital.
Until recently, it was a long and arduous task to create panoramic imagery. It involved the taking of multiple pictures at various angles and then laboriously stitching them together to make a single panoramic image. Those days are gone! One of our technicians can come on site, take seamless high quality imagery (without the normal flaws typically associated with panoramas) and move on to the next location quickly, covering a large area (for you) in a single day. Our technology makes it very economical to create high quality panoramic pictures of places on your maps. There are no blurs, ghosts or exposure changes as leftovers from the stitching process; we are stitch free! Objects in motion during the exposure are not a problem. Active, crowded scenes with lots of detail are easily captured using this system.
Integrate into a static map, desktop GIS or a web Map server. It works with all major GIS software.
