FLIR makes spherical video a reality by providing affordable hardware and software packages that deliver high-resolution, 360° visual coverage. All Ladybug systems perform the image acquisition, processing, stitching and correction necessary to integrate multiple camera images into full-resolution digital spherical and panoramic videos, live. The quality and flexibility of spherical video data make the medium ideal for applications requiring synchronization of video images. This revolutionary technology is now used for a wide variety of applications and solutions including terrain mapping, building management, news, event and sports coverage, entertainment, and virtual reality.
What’s Special About FLIR 360° Spherical Camera Imaging Systems
The Ladybug spherical systems provide 360° video streaming covering 90% of the visual sphere, are pre-calibrated for ease of use, and perform the image acquisition, processing, stitching, and correction for full-resolution digital, spherical, and panoramic videos in real-time.
Ladybug5’s unique post-processing workflow provides maximum dynamic range and user flexibility by moving the image processing from the camera to the host PC. Users are able to make decisions, experiment with settings post-recording, and watch the effects in real-time, no need to re-record.
Rather than relying purely on mechanical calibration, the Ladybug uses software to calibrate each of five cameras in the system on their own and in relation to each other. The system knows the vector associated with every pixel in each camera to an accuracy of one one-hundredth of a degree.
