NCTech Immersive Studio Viewer
The resultant processed image can be viewed within the NCTech Immersive Studio Viewer (as an immersive (interactive) image).
- Numerous screenshots are taken to show details / issues.
- Click all images for larger views.
- All larger images are captured at screen resolution (approx 1920 x 1200).
- Viewing angles are consistent across both the iSTAR and Spheron data (for comparison convenience).
- 11th September 2016 update
- New images – I have added second captures in the cockpit showing consistent issues, as intention is to show actual results, not ‘cherry-pick’ beauty shots. I had originally chosen images that portrayed the output ‘as best as the available sample allowed.’
- Please note ALL iSTAR images used in my cases studies were captured using 9 exposure / HDR Pro mode.
- Firmware was current at time of capture
Above : iSTAR Zenith views (Original capture (top) and second capture (bottom))
- Great job of managing the exposure contrast of sky / exterior (in main), using Exposure Fusion (post process)
- Odd mismatch is image exposure it seems
- Poorly stitched / resolved at image borders / zenith point.
- Nice, wide field of view
Above : iSTAR Zenith : Maximum zoom, showing poor stitch operation.

- Fairly decent job of managing the exposure contrast of sky / exterior (in main), using Exposure Fusion (post process). Sun has inevitably muscled in here though.
Above : iSTAR Close Up – Stitching and labels not visible on zoom into side panel.
Above : iSTAR Rear Access View
- Soft focus / lacks crispness across image
- Intrusion of footprint (bottom of view)
- Nice tone mapping of image though.
