Full panorama images of 8 field plot centres during the expedition to the Taymyr Pensinusla, northern Krasnoyarsk Territory, summer 2013

During an expedition to the Taimyr peninsula in summer 2013, full panoramic images of the sampled vegetation plots were captured for documentation purposes. The images were taken with a standard camera (Nikon Coolpix P7000) from the centre of the vegetation plots. At each, multiple rows of images in all directions were recorded holding the camera at a fixed position at breast height (1.3 m above ground). The images were stitched in Autopano Giga 4 (Kolor) and humans or other artificial objects masked if possible. Blended images were exported to 360x180 panorama images (12980x6490). The panorama image was manually checked for gaps or human shadow errors which were healed with GIMP resynthesizer plugin (https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer). The final file was quality improved automatic tone balanace applying Fred's ImageMagick Scripts (http://www.fmwconcepts.com/imagemagick/autotone2/index.php Copyright © Fred Weinhaus). The final output was adjusted in size (7776x3888 pixels) to match the other full panorama projects of other expeditions.
