I keep reading sites that talk about losing weight or becoming fit, and seeing your information is encouraging, because it is not so easy as they say it is..

Ive done this with some success making a bracket from aluminum bar stock to allow camera to rotate around the “nodal point”. Biggest problem I’ve encountered is exposure. Brightness often varies over a tremendous range when you are outside on a clear day using sunlight.

This is great. I don’t know what the critics are on about ‘impractical’. Its fully automated, how isn’t it practical?!

Source code is available, all that there needs to be now is a build log!

Nicely done.

Hey neil — good luck taking 200+ images to stitch them later, this is why we built it. It’s not practical to do by hand.

Hey Neil, why don’t you get a life and appreciate a project for the accomplishment instead of trying to overcompensate for yourself, thanks.

pditty, Mounting a camera nodally will eliminate any parallax issues. I built a very similar camera head a few weeks ago. Mine is nodally mounted though it sounds like the one in this article has better software in that it figures out how many pictures are needed. Mine just takes an array of pictures that always have the same number of pictures per row. That isn’t necessary for rows looking close to straight up or straight down.

Next step for my camera is to make it a digital slit scan… I’m not quite sure how to deal with all of the data that I would generate. Each picture will be about 300 megabytes without compression. I’m looking at embedded Linux computers because those processors can probably deal with that amount of info in a reasonable time.

Just buy a Red camera and stitch the stills together later…. i think that would be faster as well. Some of the projects on hack a day are completely impractical – this is one of them.

“Is Hack a Day part of the class curriculum?”

I guess you could say it is since the class curriculum is right on topic with this website. A number of 4180 project have been on this website in the past. Also, I know a lot of current and former students (such as myself) love Hack-A-Day.

Go hack-a-day and go jackets!
