Which of the following is not a type of panoramic stitching technique?

  1. Cylindrical

  2. Spherical

  3. Fisheye

  4. Cubic


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cubic is not a type of panoramic stitching technique. Cylindrical, spherical, and fisheye are all common types of panoramic stitching techniques.

What is the most common type of panoramic stitching technique?

  1. Cylindrical

  2. Spherical

  3. Fisheye

  4. Cubic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cylindrical is the most common type of panoramic stitching technique. It projects the image onto a cylinder, which results in a flat image that can be easily viewed on a computer screen or printed.

Which type of panoramic stitching technique is used to create images that can be viewed in a 360-degree sphere?

  1. Cylindrical

  2. Spherical

  3. Fisheye

  4. Cubic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Spherical is the type of panoramic stitching technique that is used to create images that can be viewed in a 360-degree sphere. This type of image is often used for virtual tours and other immersive experiences.

Which type of panoramic stitching technique is used to create images that have a wide field of view, but are not as immersive as spherical images?

  1. Cylindrical

  2. Spherical

  3. Fisheye

  4. Cubic


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Fisheye is the type of panoramic stitching technique that is used to create images that have a wide field of view, but are not as immersive as spherical images. This type of image is often used for action sports and other activities where a wide field of view is desired.

Which of the following is not a factor that affects the quality of a panoramic stitch?

  1. The number of images used

  2. The overlap between images

  3. The resolution of the images

  4. The stitching software used


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The stitching software used is not a factor that affects the quality of a panoramic stitch. The number of images used, the overlap between images, and the resolution of the images are all factors that affect the quality of a panoramic stitch.

What is the minimum number of images that can be used to create a panoramic stitch?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The minimum number of images that can be used to create a panoramic stitch is 2. However, more images will typically result in a better quality stitch.

What is the ideal amount of overlap between images when creating a panoramic stitch?

  1. 25%

  2. 50%

  3. 75%

  4. 100%


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The ideal amount of overlap between images when creating a panoramic stitch is 50%. This ensures that there is enough overlap to match the features in the images, but not so much overlap that the stitch becomes too large.

What is the highest resolution that a panoramic stitch can be?

  1. The resolution of the highest resolution image used

  2. The sum of the resolutions of all the images used

  3. The average of the resolutions of all the images used

  4. The lowest resolution of all the images used


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The highest resolution that a panoramic stitch can be is the resolution of the highest resolution image used. This is because the stitching software will use the highest resolution image as the base image and then stitch the other images onto it.

Which of the following is not a common problem that can occur when creating a panoramic stitch?

  1. Stitching errors

  2. Ghosting

  3. Color fringing

  4. Lens flare


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Lens flare is not a common problem that can occur when creating a panoramic stitch. Stitching errors, ghosting, and color fringing are all common problems that can occur when creating a panoramic stitch.

What is the best way to avoid stitching errors when creating a panoramic stitch?

  1. Use a tripod

  2. Shoot in manual mode

  3. Use a wide-angle lens

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are good ways to avoid stitching errors when creating a panoramic stitch. Using a tripod will help to keep the camera steady, shooting in manual mode will allow you to control the exposure settings, and using a wide-angle lens will help to reduce the number of images that you need to stitch together.

What is the best way to avoid ghosting when creating a panoramic stitch?

  1. Use a tripod

  2. Shoot in manual mode

  3. Use a wide-angle lens

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using a tripod is the best way to avoid ghosting when creating a panoramic stitch. Ghosting is caused by camera movement, so using a tripod will help to keep the camera steady and prevent ghosting from occurring.

What is the best way to avoid color fringing when creating a panoramic stitch?

  1. Use a tripod

  2. Shoot in manual mode

  3. Use a wide-angle lens

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Shooting in manual mode is the best way to avoid color fringing when creating a panoramic stitch. Color fringing is caused by differences in the exposure of the images, so shooting in manual mode will allow you to control the exposure settings and prevent color fringing from occurring.

Which of the following is the best stitching software for creating panoramic stitches?

  1. Adobe Photoshop

  2. PTGui

  3. Hugin

  4. Microsoft ICE


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
