About


Hangar 360 - Autonomously Capture and Stitch Aerial 360 Photos

These pics are auto generated using a app called Hangar 360, the app controls the drone to take 23 pics, stitch them together and produce the spherical photo

How
launch the drone with the app
it's a little scary to see it launch as it's computer controlled so it takes off like a rocket so newbies make sure you have room to move .. lol

you can also switch apps in flight but follow the strict procedures 

at the recommended height (91 mtrs) the process starts (takes about 5 mins)
you can over ride but be aware of the how to and for and against

Pics are copied from drone SD card on drone to smartphone and (with internet access uploaded to hangar server to auto stitch the pics together.  At present there is not control over the production in the server nor a profile to control / library of the pics so be careful  (thus I made this log page) 

the server takes 10 mins to 10 hrs (lol) to produce the spherical photo  - 




For
automation; auto stitching 
clips saved on drone and smartphone 


against
no control over photo settings
auto ads logo

remix
you have the original images (23 photos), if you don;t like the automated process you can use photo stitch software to do your own.
we use Panorama Studio (not free) because it lets you change the start view and add logos
the start view is locked within Hangar (you can change it)




Commercial services
this does not relate to Hangar - they offer services on their site, 
for services for photos with drone, we can do if we're in your neighbourhood which is usually Bangkok or Perth West Australia
 








Get the app

Project Tourism Bangkok

we visit various places Bangkok capturing drone photo/video to promote tourism Bangkok









Access pics

1. find them 
use the summary below to see the latest by changes or date created, go to the bottom of page to sort by any column

speed of host site:
the host site is slow to load a big file but once open it's awesome, best viewed in desktop for detail
or view in smartphone phone for VR virtual reality effect, rotate screen or turn around and pinch zoom

we can / will load them into other hosts sites
other sites have tricks for changing display of the image, small planet, mirror ball etc

other apps let you modify the image into video or add logos


2. get a link
right click to copy the link or click to see the image and copy the url link


Download 
the hangar site does not let you download a hardcopy but there are work arounds


3. post to social media
you can paste the link into your social media channels

Options

1. if already in social media , share it

2. to share from the host (hangar 360 site)..  click the link to display image in the host site
top left corner should be a hangar icon - click on it to see share options which for now is only facebook


we might keep the original photos (approx 23) and therefore able to make our own 360 with photo stitching software with further option to add images / logos



19/7/2017
we have taken delivery of photo stitching software that allows 

1. adding logos and images that infuse into the spherical photo
2. interactive elements (html5) that allow links within the photo

we are testing now and will update in a week

Panorama Studio  approx US 80 - buy it





By zone 


the directly allows you to sort by any column, we are testing a idea to show screen shots by zone 

example 







Drone used


we have several DJI Mavic Pro drones, as i get time I share info such as Accessories used and mod's (changes) in the page Mavic Pro





User FAQ's



Q: why use Hangar
A: it's fully automatic, start the app (hard close all others) and press go, copy pics to device (ph) and upload to cloud, 10 to 30 mins later you have a stitched 360 which can be shared

Q: download the image
A: currently (Dec 2017) not available, however (hush hush) you can download from fbk once shared into fbk but the quality is less. You also have all original pics so you can manually stitch the pic ...  a good stitch software is noted in this page... its not free but its worth the money as it has extras that the free app do no.

Q: add logos, comments 
once you have downloaded the image (not so easier) you can then use many diff apps to add stuff to the image

app: Enlight is a create photo editor to add words, labels images (logos) 
app: Veer just released (Dec 2017) a 360 editor which includes spherical text  (no logo as yet)
 
Q:  examples of 360 host sites


BEST SKY BACKGROUND APP - SKYLAB












Developments

we have designed a cradle mount support attachments:- 

camera/s, lights, floats, tripod mount, extend landing gear, go pro clips, selfie tripod , hand held carry video harness, launch and catch pole

tests completed for all elements above except the floats which we are doing now (July)  - more in Mavic pro Cradle







How to



always test the options before you need to use them

1st time I used Hangar 360 it was an anxiety attack, once I set the instructions the drone race into the sky at lightning speed (panic attack) 

Now I rarely instigate a 360 by starting with the app, I most always use another app, typically DJI and switch in once I've found the ideal spot. 
To switch you must do a force switch (shut the other app down completely (not switch apps but force close) 

ok so lets 



before I fly

I use awesome app "Sun Surveyor" it's not cheap but worth every cent
3D Compass,  Map, Live View, Ephements, Street View,

I use the app to find a good launch location near the target, check distances, and when are the blue and golden hours (photography)

I can now plan so much on the phone before going to the target site which relieves further anxious decisions 


ok back to droning 

use main app (dji or litchi) to get the bird in the air and into position
force close and open hangar 360
press the launch button, receive option to start at the existing height or the default height

a 5 second countdown begins 
1st photo is always pointing North
you can trick the app by clicking to sport mode and back and re start (sometimes it works)

otherwise you can use the awesome photo stitcher Panorama Studio  approx US 80 - buy it which allows you to change the start view and add logos or try free online Photo stitcher


after the last photo (23) is taken the app will take about 10 seconds to return controls - option to continue fly

I then decide on the next task (more pics / video or return) and make sure I know which way it's facing then move forward while force close and re open the preferred light app being DJI or Litchi 

You get the option to copy the pics to the phone at the time of completing the photos otherwise leave until you have landed or later when back to base

to copy the pics from the drone to the phone

open the app, go to gallery and see the Icon for photos on device, click to copy.

once the photos are on your phone you need wifi to upload to the hanger server

the processing time is 15 mins to 5 hrs (traffic) - on average its 30 mins

Photo quality:  will depend on the usual photograph elements 
I have specifically included height and time in the table below
the later night shots struggle and are auto adjusted by the hangar server, you have the original pics so you can do your own stitch 


share options are shown


about the hangar a/c
there is no profile, if you lose the app and re instal all links are lost so you need to record them (as i have down below)

if you load them into facebook you can download a copy of the stitched image, then you can use Panorama Studio to change the start view and add logos as well as create interactive html images with links (awesome)



related 

Best photo stitching software, same page has info about 360 spherical photos and host sites


Max distance 
my experience is max 500 mtrs, after that Hangar 360 stalls 










 






Commercial services


This info has nothing to do with the commercial services offered on Hangar app site

this info is estimate only of what we have gathered from several commercial operators as a guide 


Produce photos
depends on the time of the day, sunrise, mid day or sunset are the ideal times 
Height creates perspective 

approx $100 per hour including travel time
approx: 3 shots per hour 


Process photos
automation:  approx 3 shots per hour includes link and a hardcopy
modifications:  approx 3 shots per hour 













Other options with drone

Video: in the air or on the ground - we can fly the drone or hand carry it thru buildings
check out the Litchi app (under apps below) where you can create a mission on a map and we can fly it for you



other applications
2017 June:  360 spherical video

ideally for close up aspects, will publish samples soon
currently only 2k resolution, will have a 4k resolution by Sept 2017

the 360 camera has no stabiliser on the drone so it's best not to move too much, the idea with a 360 video is not move, let the view move around.

there are many examples of 360 production with a land based camera in this website - simply go to the search box (top right) and search 360 or 360 video












Risk Management


Thorough check list 
DO NOT hover over buildings without permission
Equipment is tested before leaving office and again on site
Pre flight checks of equipment, area (ground and air) weather conditions, airspace

drone tested in wind conditions 40 km winds - durability test

pre flight check in dji go 4, switch to (force close) in flight to hangar and reverse before landing










app tips


app auto starts pointing North (confirmed with Hangar in May 2017)
work around

Mavic Pro switch in and out of sports mode, use software to re position start aspect




Other apps
testing many

to be updated 



some apps have option for you to plot flight mission on a map and give the link to us, example

here you will see missions created by users around the word.  zoom in and see the flight mission and the attached video
You can join free and create your own mission, then give us the link to fine tune and fly the mission and supply the photos / videos
