Building Spherical Panoramas using DroneBlocks and AirSim

Here's a really awesome video by Dennis Baldwin showing how he has connected DroneBlocks to AirSim. In this demo he programs a flight to capture a series of images that can then be stitched together to create a virtual 360 panorama of the mountain landscape scene.

After the images are captured Dennis uses PTGui to stitch the photos into a 360 panorama:

Then he uses krpano to publish that as a a website.

See the resulting website where you can move the camera around with your mouse to view the full 360 spherical panorama.

Drones are often used to do this exact thing in the real world, so it is super cool to see that you can now simulate the entire process using AirSim and DroneBlocks.

Very cool.
