Andy Perrin Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I got a FLIR i7 a few years ago, and since then I've been stitching together pictures of buildings and landscapes. The FLIR camera has a resolution of just 160x120 pixels which are then interpolated. Most of these images were hand-stitched from 30 or more individual pictures; more recently I've gotten better at coaxing Photoshop into doing it for me automagically. All the visible photos were by iPhone, and the near infrared is from my IR-converted iPhone 4. A local hill that stands over a monastery: Kenmore Square, Boston, Massachusetts, US. Note the glowing bus shelter! It was a hot summer day. My own apartment last winter (before the snow came): Standing on the fire escape of my apartment. You can really see the errors in the stitching on this one, sorry! Yawkey station, near Kenmore (above), waiting for the train. Of note here: the advertisement shows up in the thermal because the dark parts absorb sunshine better. If I take thermal IR pictures of advertisements near sunset, I can actually watch the advertisement go blank as the surface approaches uniform temperature. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Absolutely fascinating, Andy. Thanks for posting this! Great work with all the stitching. That's not easy using such small rectangles. Bjørn has a pano app he recommends which might be an improvement over the PS version. So I hope he sees this thread and mentions it. Look how hot the street was on that summer day! Link to comment
nfoto Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Andrea means PTGui. It is very good. Also capable of handling many image with ease and is lean on its memory consumption. I have sometimes stitched 200+ images each of 60 MB and although the process is *not* instant, not that time-consuming either. Link to comment

nfoto Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 New vocabulary word, "automagically" In reality this is a word used already for a long time ... Link to comment
Andy Perrin Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes, it's not my own coinage, but it is a useful addition, JCDowdy! Link to comment
