Stitching theta v

AdamMiltonBarker · January 27, 2022, 7:52pm

Hi all, I am having a nightmare trying to stitch HDR images generated with photoshop and the dual fisheye plugin. I am extremely reluctant to spend over 150 quid on an app just to stitch images. Can anyone suggest other ways of stitching Theta V images, I have tried Hugin and almost got it spot on but have one issue where the stitch is bad and have not been able to sort. Really hoping for straight to the point solutions as have been going around in circles for three days. Kind regards.

May I kindly ask, if you ever found a solution for your issue?
Kind regards

5 years ago, Ichi had a stitcher for the THETA V images. Did he take the stitcher off of the app store?

You can see the output of the stitcher in the README of this repo that was created for a workshop.

# Dual-Fisheye For THETA V

This is a early code for the Dual Fisheye Plug-in by Ichi Hirota for the RICOH THETA V.  This is not the same as the code for Ichi's plug-in that is in the plug-in store.

This repository was created for a technical workshop as part of educational curriculum. 

__This code is not intended for production use.__  

For more information on
plug-in development, including use and modification of this plug-in, see the free plug-in developer
guide, available at http://theta360.guide/plugin/

An improved version of [Ichi Hirota's app is available in the THETA Plug-in Store](https://pluginstore.theta360.com/plugins/com.hirota41.dualfisheye_plugin/).

## Features and Usage Information

- 3 image dual-fisheye taken within 3 seconds
- Each image takes approximately 1 second
- single image dual-fisheye in less than 1 second
- HDR blending is handled by a free third-party application called Picturenaut (see documentation for instructions)

Thx for your kind answer. Unfortunately the only app reference is for the remote app. The mentioned stitching app was only a temporarly adapted version of the misphere stitcher. When I asked this (much) earlier I got the answer, that there won’t be a official version without watermarks. That’s a bit unfortunate, because the result, stitched with the test version of PTGUI looks really good. But as the Theta V is rather old and maybe won’t function much longer, it would be a rather costly investment to buy PTGUI only for this purpose. A simple app based stitcher, without watermark would be good enough for me
