Construction Site 360-Degree Panoramic View

Monthly drone flights are being performed at the construction site of a new football facility at the University of Florida.  In addition to capturing video and photographs to document progress, a flight was conducted to generate a panoramic view of the site. Here, the drone captured a series of overlapping photographs at different camera depression angles as it rotated in-place 360 degrees.  The photos were then stitched together to yield an interactive, 360-degree panorama.  Below is the rendered panorama which is hosted on Kuula.  The panorama can be panned, zoomed, and rotated to quickly visualize the entire site.
