#9 Panorama Of A Dog Goes Terribly Wrong
It might seem like a big change from having to manually stitch together pictures to make a panorama to having your phone’s camera do it for you, but how does it do it? With improved technology, less work, and no waiting time, it puts the pictures together for you much like it did in the past. In order to construct the “perfect” panorama, your phone searches for common elements on the edge of each image transparency, aligns them by rotating and sliding, and then moves image by image. Your phone cannot identify the content of photos like the human brain can, and it occasionally use a technique called brute-force calculation to identify comparable features. Stitching mistakes like distorted photos, misaligned objects, or items sliced in half are the consequence.
