24 alternatives to I shot high-res stitched panoramas in Iceland using a thermal camera
A computer vision engineer by day and photographer by night, I never take the path most traveled, especially when it comes to imaging technology. Thermal
This project documents high-resolution stitched panoramic images of Iceland captured using thermal imaging technology. The creator combined multiple thermal camera shots to create panoramic views of the Icelandic… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I shot high-res stitched panoramas in Iceland using a thermal camera launched in 2021; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

MAI-Image-2.5▲241Hey HN I’ve been experimenting with different image generation tools for months — but I kept running into the same problems: slow generation, repeated outputs, and limited artistic control. That’s why I built MAI-Image-1, Microsoft’s latest AI image generation model designed for creators, designers, and developers who need fast, realistic results without sacrificing flexibility. What makes MAI-Image-1 different: Ultra-realistic rendering — it accurately captures light, texture, and natural shadows. Lightning-fast generation — create detailed images in seconds. No style lock-in — experiment…

I've been working on this project for about 4 years. It began as terrain only because world wide elevation data was publicly available. I then added buildings from OpenStreetMap (crowd sourced) and more recently from Overture Maps data. Some computer vision/machine learning advancements [1] in the past few years have made it possible to estimate tree canopy heights using satellite imagery alone making it possible to finally add trees to the map. The data isn't perfect, but it's within +/- 3 meters of so. Good enough to give a general idea for any location on Earth. Happy to answer…

I wanted to record the aurora last weekend, but I only have a Blackmagic Design video camera which is clearly not made for this purpose. Recording a video of the night sky results in extreme noise to the point that you don't really see anything, so I wrote a tool to significantly reduce noise in such video recordings. Essentially it computes a moving average across video frames which significantly reduces the random sensor noise. This works because aurora changes very slowly, and it's roughly comparable to a long exposure time computed out of a video file where the individual frames have a…

Hey HN, I made a site where you can draw on street-level panoramas. Your drawings persist and other people can see them in real time. Strokes get projected onto the 3D panorama so they wrap around buildings and follow the geometry, not just a flat overlay. Uses WebGL2 for rendering, Mapillary for the street imagery. The idea is for it to become a global canvas, anyone can leave a mark anywhere and others stumble onto it.

Hi HN - My name is Andrew, and I'm a high school student. This is a write-up on StratoSpore, a payload I designed and launched to the stratosphere. The goal was to test if we could estimate physical altitude based on algae fluorescence (using a lightweight ML model trained on the sensor data). The blog post covers the full engineering mess/process, including: - The Hardware: Designing PCBs for the AS7263 spectral sensor and Pi Zero 2 W. -The biological altimeter: How I tried to correlate biological stress (fluorescence) with altitude. - The Communications: A custom lossy compression…

This is a service I've built to provide equirectangular cloud maps of the whole Earth, updated every 3 hours, for free. It's based on infrared and visible light data from EUMETSAT, processed to enhance the clouds and try to reduce the impact of surface temperatures on the final image. I built it because it's surprisingly hard to find these kinds of images in a format that's useful to developers and hobbyists. I was building a 3D ISS tracker and wanted to include live clouds but couldn't find anything good, so I got sidetracked, and here we are.

3D-to-photo is an open source tool for Generative AI product photography, that uses 3D models to allow fine camera angle control in generated images. If you have 3D models created using the iOS 3D scanner you can upload them directly on to 3D-to-photo and describe the scene you want to create. For example: "on a city side walk" "near a lake, overlooking the water" Then click "generate" to get the final images. The tech stack behind 3D-to-photo: Handling 3d models on the web: @threejs Hosting the diffusion model: @replicate 3D scanning apps: shopify,Polycam3D or LumaLabsAI
