moon panorama 360

We have hosted the application moon panorama 360 in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about moon panorama 360:

This application allows visually restore a cyclorama from a set of photos covering 360 degrees in all directions to horizon. It was specially designed to restore panoramas obtained by Apollo missions in 1969-1972 but it can be used to restore any cyclorama from photos got in your tourist trip (for example). The main principle of the program is in projecting photos on a 360x360 sphere and combining it together. If you select a correct field of view (FOV) for photo images, its combination become ideal for distant points. For moon cyclorama it is also possible to check a Sun and Earth positions on the sky and to compare the result with a LOLA data (provided by the the LRO moon satellite).

Features:

• Support of jpg images up to 4400x4600 pixels, load it as is or with high-contrast.
• Inverting current image, combining images, changing image FOV.
• Loading Sun&Earth position together with time marks and mission dates and times.
• Loading LOLA data, filtering it by longitude, latitude or distance. Three ways to represent LOLA points, colorization by height, creating your own filtered sets.
• Support of travel map to easy change a viewer location and current height relatively to a landing point.
• A calculator to translate feets to meters and backwards ant to calculate a distance to an object from its size in meters and visual size in degrees. And to convert fractional degrees to degrees, minutes, seconds and backwards.
• Easy storing created panoramas and later loading it.
• Small HELP by F1 is available during a session, enough to learn the program.
• Embedded 3D editor to create scenes from simple primitives (supporting obj and 3ds models w/o textures).
• Lessons are only in Russian yet, sorry. To use English interface in app, rename LanguageEN.txt to Language.txt.

User interface: .NET/Mono, OpenGL.
