Panovolo 1.7.0 Released with the Fill Sky Feature

 PanoVolo, a leader in drone panorama image stitching software, has announced the release of version 1.7.0, available for both Windows and macOS users.

Fill Sky: The new “Fill Sky” feature automatically fills the hole in the zenith, typically left by most drones in their 360-degree panoramas, using interpolated image data. This feature enables the production of fully spherical panoramas without any visible gaps, eliminating the need for image editing in third-party software.

Support for Hand-Held Gimbaled Cameras: Version 1.7.0 introduces support for hand-held cameras, such as the “Osmo Pocket.” This update fully supports stitching panoramas produced by these cameras, including reading and utilizing the gimbal position metadata saved in the images.

Localization Support: The PanoVolo user interface is now available in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Ukrainian, with plans to add more languages in the future.

Full list of changes in this release:

The Fill sky option fills the gap in zenith when panoramas are fully spherical (360×180 deg)
The Fill sky is also available in the batch mode
Read gimbal metadata from Osmo Pocket cameras and apply them in panorama stitching
More robust determination of the maximum texture size that the GPU supports
Detect if the gimbal metadata saved by the drone is wrong or unreliable and warn the user

Added the ability to stitch panoramas from clusters of disconnected images, with added warning to the user
