What would happen if you put the camera closer to the outer part of the wheel, rather than nearly centered on the hub?
Could Horizon still create a stable-ish video out of that (where the position and rotation of the image are both changing rapidly), or does this require a relatively stable position to work this well?
(I have no particular dog in this hunt, I'm just curious.)
EDIT: I see that Kayou asked the same question, probably in a smarter way, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7904992 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7904992 but I don't see a response from petrakeas or stelabouras yet, so I'll keep my question here even if it is a little redundant.
- stelabouras 12y agoHorizon corrects the wrong orientation regardless of the translation/position of the device. Small translation differences along the X or Y axis can be corrected by the stabilisation algorithm. Large translation deltas, however, cannot be corrected. So, if you put the iPhone on the outer part of the wheel you will most probably get a horizontal video that will end up showing your scene moving up-down, left-right.
