Imagine photographing a whole room, at the press of a button to generate one seamless image. Document and explore an entire 360 degree panorama, all in incredible pixel-sharp detail and with full High Dynamic Range (HDRi). How about extracting three-dimensional co-ordinates from your captured scene complete with precise measurements?

 

Once an extremely technical, complex and expensive operation, this capability has been transformed by the recently launched Civetta camera from Weiss AG.

 

The applications for this technology are vast. Accidents; Scene of crime; CG backdrops; Architectural & Construction; Visualisation; Metrology; Archaeology… in fact, anyone wishing to visually document either an entire or partial scene can benefit from the Civetta.

 

This out-of-the-box solution comes with everything required to capture and produce 100MPixel ultra-high-resolution 360º seamless images with full High Dynamic Range and capture every facet of the chosen scene.

 

A simple “one button” process captures all the details and records to a built in hard-disk. A fully spherical photographic survey (360° x 180°) is recorded within just 40 seconds.

 

The Civetta camera solution delivers a vast array of benefits to numerous industries and users. It achieves this through the simple and rapid process of capturing very high resolution full 360-degree seamless images.

 

With a dynamic range of 30 f-stops, all levels of illumination, from the darkest shadows to the brightest incandescent filament, are recorded accurately.

 

By taking two images at two different heights (at exactly the same tripod setup position) exact measurements of distances, angles and segments may be performed, thanks to the precise calibration of the Civetta.

Need ultimate-resolution HDR 360º images for your next project but you don’t want to invest in your own Civetta system?

 

No problem, the Civetta solution can also be rented from HoloVis…

 

The fully automated system is easier to operate than a conventional camera! There is no great learning curve with the Civetta.

 

However, HoloVis also offers a complete turn-key hire and support solution with one of their trained Engineers working closely with the client to take the images, convert them and deliver the final electronic results as required.
