GigaPan Epic Pro Demonstration

Abstract:
The GigaPan Epic Pro is a robotic camera mount used to automate the  
process of photographing giga-pixel resolution panoramas using a wide  
range of digital SLR cameras. Automated photography paired with  
stitching software enables the creation of extemely high resolution  
panoramas, many times the resolution of typical photographs, allowing  
one to comb through visual data to discover before unseen detial and  
information. The GigaPan Epic Pro camera mount simplifies the  
difficult process of taking a large number of images with proper  
alignment and overlap by automatically positioning and triggering your  
digital camera.

On May 18, 2011, at 2:00p, Travis Saul will be giving a presentation  
at Searle 240a demonstrating usage of the camera mount as well as  
examples of stitching techniques and image uses.
