Plan view of a garden 28/8/07

Hey all :)

Yesterday I took two 360 panos from my mast of an old-people's nursing home where my Dad works as 'chief handyman'. :)

Together with the people who own the nursing home, he's planning to do some redevelopment of the gardens, and he wanted an aerial view to work on. The mast shots didn't give him exactly what he needed, so I went back there today with the helicopter to shoot a 'straight down' view of the gardens.

He's now a very happy man! :) I will post any results when they start to redevelop it (including any sketches he does, superimposed on the aerial photo).

Looks Good David!
My wife works to help develop homes for Seniors who are still independant. Not quite as captive an audience as a nursing home but landscaping is always a big deal for the elderly. Hope your dad is able to create a masterpiece!

Hi David,

Excellent job on both trhe panos and the straight-down view!
I've seen a few of thos pano-stitching and VR programs but don't have a lot of experience with them. What did you use?

Also, how high was the heli for the top--down photo?

Again, those are great images. Well done.
