Abstract

Universeller Kamerahalter zur Erstellung von Panoramen und Kugelpanoramen dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Justierung der Kamera am Oberteil [4] erfolgt.Universal camera holder for creating panoramas and spherical panoramas, characterized in that the adjustment of the camera on the upper part [4] takes place.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen universelle Kamerahalter zur Erstellung von Kugelpanoramen, wie er in der Fotografie, insbesondere für Panoramen und Kugelpanoramen eingesetzt wird. Bei der Panoramafotografie handelt es sich um eine Technik, die durch die Aufnahme von mehreren überlappenden Bildern, meisst im Hochformat, die anschließend übergangsfrei zusammengefügt werden (sog. „Stitchen”), ein Gesamtbild ergibt.The invention relates to a universal camera holder for creating spherical panoramas, as used in photography, in particular for panoramas and spherical panoramas. Panoramic photography is a technique that produces an overall picture by capturing multiple overlapping images, mostly in portrait format, which are then merged without any transition (so-called "stitching").

Stativköpfe die für Panoramafotografie eingesetzt werden, sind aber speziell im Zusammenhang mit Kugelpanoramen, bei denen die Kamera nach unten gegen den Boden (Nadir) gedreht werden muss, sehr umständlich zu handhaben. Die Ausrichtung der Kamera gegen den Boden stellt das Stativ in den Bildmittelpunkt und verdeckt somit bildrelevante Teile. Durch einen speziellen Drehmechanismus, einer besonders angebrachten Justierung der Kamera und einer besonderen Bauform des Haltbügels sind mit dem neuartigen Kamerahalter Kugelpanoramen möglich, die ein Stativ komplett aus dem Bild verschwinden lassen können und somit den Aufwand für die Retusche am Computer minimieren.Tripod heads that are used for panoramic photography, but especially in connection with spherical panoramas, in which the camera must be turned down to the ground (nadir), very cumbersome to handle. The orientation of the camera against the ground puts the tripod in the center of the image and thus obscures image-relevant parts. Due to a special turning mechanism, a special adjustment of the camera and a special design of the holding bracket, the innovative camera holder enables spherical panoramas that make it possible to completely remove a tripod from the picture, thus minimizing the need for retouching on the computer.

Die Kamera wird auf eine Schiene geschraubt, die auf einer Schwalbenschwanzklemmung aufliegt. Diese Schwalbenschwanzklemmung ist in diesem Fall mit einer geführten U-Schiene verbunden die über ein Langloch verfügt durch das zwei Schrauben von vorn und hinten die U-Schiene halten. Die Kamera wird jetzt so justiert [4], dass die Objektivachse in der Drehachse des Kamerahalters liegt, üblicherweise zentrisch über dem Kamerahalter bzw. dem Stativ.The camera is screwed onto a rail that rests on a dovetail clamp. This dovetail clamp is in this case connected to a guided U-rail which has a slot through which two screws from the front and rear hold the U-rail. The camera will now be adjusted [ 4 ], that the lens axis lies in the axis of rotation of the camera holder, usually centric above the camera holder or the tripod.

Um parallaxenfreie Bilder zu bekommen, muss die Kamera so nach vorn bzw. hinten verschoben werden, bis der Nodal-Punkt (bzw. „No-Parallex-Point”) gefunden wurde, d. h. sich, bei Betrachtung durch den Sucher, beim Drehen der Kamera nach links und rechts der Vordergrund zum Hintergrund sich im Verhältnis nicht mehr bewegt. Durch diese Justierung passen jetzt alle Aufnahmen, die gemacht werden parallaxenfrei zueinander. Übergänge der einzelnen Bilder sind dann nicht mehr sichtbar.To get parallax-free images, the camera must be moved forward or backward until the nodal point (or "no-parallex point") is found. H. when looking through the viewfinder, turning the camera to the left and right foreground to background no longer moves in relation. This adjustment now fits all recordings that are made parallaxenfrei each other. Transitions of the individual images are then no longer visible.

Für die Aufnahme des Bodens (sog. „Nadir”) wird die Kamera nach unten geneigt. Jetzt werden bereits Bilder mit dem Stativ im Mittelpunkt gemacht, um das direkte Umfeld des Stativs bereits aufgenommen zu haben.The camera is tilted downwards to record the ground (so-called "Nadir"). Now images are already taken with the tripod in the center, in order to have already taken the direct environment of the tripod.

Über den Drehmachanismus [1] kann dann aus der Ursprungslage über dem Stativ die Kamera nach außen geklappt werden. Auf Grund des Abstandes zwischen der Objektivachse (Kamera) und der Drehachse im Haltebügel [1] schaut die Kamera am Stativ vorbei auf den Boden. Die Schräge im Haltebügel [2] am Kamerahalter sorgt dafür, dass im Betrachtungswinkel der Kamera der Kamerahalter selbst nicht erscheint [7] und der Blick selbst unter das Stativ möglich ist. Je nach Gewicht und Auslage der Stativbeine muss hier durch ein Gegengewicht die Kamera-Stativkombination zusätzlich fixiert werden.About the rotary axis system [ 1 ] can then be folded from the original position above the tripod camera to the outside. Due to the distance between the lens axis (camera) and the axis of rotation in the mounting bracket [ 1 ] the camera looks at the tripod on the ground. The slope in the bracket [ 2 ] on the camera holder ensures that the camera holder itself does not appear in the camera's viewing angle [ 7 ] and the view even under the tripod is possible. Depending on the weight and display of the tripod legs, the camera / tripod combination must be additionally fixed here by means of a counterweight.

Jetzt wird die Kamera-Stativ-Kombination mit Hilfe eines Schnurlotes so versetzt, dass der Objektivmittelpunkt genau über dem ursprünglichen Mittelpunkt liegt. Damit passt auch dieses Bild in die bisherige Bilderfolge, da sich der Nodel-Punkt (oder „No-Parallex-Point”) wieder in der selben Position befindet wie vor der Drehung.Now the camera-tripod combination is offset with the help of a string solder so that the lens center point is exactly above the original center point. Thus, this picture also fits into the previous picture sequence, since the nodel point (or "no-parallex point") is again in the same position as before the rotation.

Jetzt wird noch zusätzlich ein Bild in der Auslageposition gemacht. Dieses Bild enthält die Bildinformationen die bisher durch das Stativ verdeckt waren.Now an additional picture is made in the display position. This image contains the image information that was previously hidden by the tripod.

Mittels einer handelsüblichen „Stitch-Software” werden die Bilder zusammengefügt und das Stativ maskiert, also nicht für das entgültige Bild verwendet. Durch die Überlappung der einzelnen Bilder mit Stativ und in der Auslageposition am Stativ vorbei können sich Bilder ergeben, die eine Retusche des Stativs bzw. der Stativbeine ganz oder zumindest größtenteils erübrigen.By means of a commercial "stitch software" the pictures are put together and the tripod is masked, thus not used for the final picture. Due to the overlapping of the individual pictures with a tripod and in the delivery position on the tripod, pictures may result that completely or at least for the most part make retouching of the tripod or tripod legs unnecessary.
