What is the primary factor that determines the resolution of a panoramic image?

  1. Camera sensor resolution

  2. Lens focal length

  3. Number of images stitched together

  4. Stitching software used


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The resolution of a panoramic image is primarily determined by the resolution of the camera sensor used to capture the individual images that are stitched together.

How does the focal length of the lens affect the resolution of a panoramic image?

  1. It has no effect on resolution

  2. Longer focal length results in higher resolution

  3. Wider focal length results in higher resolution

  4. It depends on the camera sensor size


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The effect of focal length on resolution depends on the size of the camera sensor. Generally, a longer focal length lens will result in higher resolution for a given camera sensor size, while a wider focal length lens will result in lower resolution.

What is the relationship between the number of images stitched together and the resolution of a panoramic image?

  1. More images result in higher resolution

  2. More images result in lower resolution

  3. It has no effect on resolution

  4. It depends on the stitching software used


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Stitching together more images generally results in a higher resolution panoramic image, as it increases the total number of pixels in the final image.

Which of the following factors does NOT affect the resolution of a panoramic image?

  1. Camera sensor resolution

  2. Lens focal length

  3. Stitching software used

  4. Image compression settings


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Image compression settings affect the file size and quality of a panoramic image, but they do not directly affect the resolution of the image.

What is the typical resolution of a high-quality panoramic image?

  1. 10 megapixels

  2. 20 megapixels

  3. 30 megapixels

  4. 40 megapixels


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

High-quality panoramic images typically have a resolution of around 30 megapixels, although this can vary depending on the camera and lens used.

What is the main advantage of using a higher resolution camera for panoramic photography?

  1. Increased field of view

  2. Improved image quality

  3. Reduced stitching artifacts

  4. Faster stitching process


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using a higher resolution camera for panoramic photography generally results in improved image quality, as it allows for more detail to be captured in the individual images that are stitched together.

What is the main disadvantage of using a higher resolution camera for panoramic photography?

  1. Increased field of view

  2. Improved image quality

  3. Reduced stitching artifacts

  4. Slower stitching process


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using a higher resolution camera for panoramic photography can result in a slower stitching process, as the software needs to process more data.

What is the recommended focal length for panoramic photography?

  1. Wide-angle lens (10-24mm)

  2. Normal lens (35-50mm)

  3. Telephoto lens (70-200mm)

  4. It depends on the desired field of view


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The recommended focal length for panoramic photography depends on the desired field of view. Wider focal lengths allow for a wider field of view, while longer focal lengths allow for more detail in the image.

What is the best way to avoid stitching artifacts in panoramic images?

  1. Use a tripod and shoot in manual mode

  2. Use a high-quality stitching software

  3. Shoot with a wide-angle lens

  4. Shoot with a telephoto lens


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using a tripod and shooting in manual mode helps to ensure that the individual images are properly aligned and exposed, which minimizes stitching artifacts.

What is the best way to achieve a seamless panoramic image?

  1. Use a high-quality stitching software

  2. Shoot with a wide-angle lens

  3. Shoot with a telephoto lens

  4. Use a tripod and shoot in manual mode


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Using a high-quality stitching software helps to blend the individual images together seamlessly and minimize stitching artifacts.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of panoramic projection?

  1. Cylindrical

  2. Spherical

  3. Cubic

  4. Flat


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Flat is not a common type of panoramic projection. Cylindrical, spherical, and cubic are the most common types of panoramic projections.

What is the main advantage of using a cylindrical projection for panoramic images?

  1. It provides a wider field of view

  2. It is easier to stitch images together

  3. It results in a more realistic image

  4. It is less computationally expensive


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cylindrical projection is easier to stitch images together because it assumes that the scene is wrapped around a cylinder, which makes it easier to align and blend the individual images.

What is the main advantage of using a spherical projection for panoramic images?

  1. It provides a wider field of view

  2. It is easier to stitch images together

  3. It results in a more realistic image

  4. It is less computationally expensive


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Spherical projection results in a more realistic image because it assumes that the scene is projected onto a sphere, which is more similar to the way that the human eye perceives the world.

What is the main disadvantage of using a cubic projection for panoramic images?

  1. It provides a narrower field of view

  2. It is more difficult to stitch images together

  3. It results in a less realistic image

  4. It is more computationally expensive


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cubic projection is more difficult to stitch images together because it assumes that the scene is projected onto a cube, which makes it more challenging to align and blend the individual images.

Which of the following is NOT a common file format for panoramic images?

  1. JPEG

  2. TIFF

  3. PNG

  4. HDR


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

HDR is not a common file format for panoramic images. JPEG, TIFF, and PNG are the most common file formats for panoramic images.
