The following image gallery documents a project to record and present 360 degree video of iron ore ship loading at Karratha in West Australia. The filming is performed using the LadyBug-2 camera mounted upsidedown, as such it captures 360 horizontally and from about 40 degrees north in latitude to 90 degrees south.
Sample frames from the LadyBug, movies captured at 30fps, each frame is a spherical projection.
Example Quicktime movie: 1/4 scale. Original frames are 3500 pixels wide by 1750 pixels deep.
The playback occurs in the iDome, while the iDome only presents a hemispherical view horizontally because the full 360 field of view is captured, the movies can be rotated in realtime allowing the operator to view any part of the loading operation.
