Adding Logos to 360 Images

[DeanR]

Hello all, 

I was looking into adding a circular image containing company info/location information to a 360 image over the base of the tripod in order to cover it up and offer something more. I'm having a bit of trouble, however, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to do this quickly and easily. I wish it were as simple of adding it over a JPG, but of course that would just be distorted! The only methods I can find online involve expensive software I can't really afford at the moment. 

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yes, if you are already enrolled into SVT program, you should have access to the SVT board on Connect, and you could read my detailed howto guide on Nadir Patching: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Street-View-Trusted/How-do-I-patch-the-Nadir-and-add-a-custom-...

Thanks for calling me in @ShafiulB 😉

Hey LucioV, thanks for your reply, I clicked your link and just get 'You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action'. I am in the trusted program on my business account though, should I just try it on that? 

Edit: Ok, it did open on my SVT account, but this looks very time consuming if we need to do a lot of photos in bulk! We work with stitched panoramas from a Samsung Gear 360 stiched on a galaxy s6 phone, so I hope it'll work with this. I suppose it will have to do if it's the only way, but more suggestions are of course welcome.

Hi @DeanR you can also (using the account you have access to!) check my other thread on third party tools: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Street-View-Trusted/How-do-I-choose-a-third-party-tool/td-p/19...

Here you will find tools for patching nadir, and also gothru, that is able to make nadir patching on uploaded panoramas.

I use the manual method when high quality is required, but i know it's a time consuming way to do so! Never done for more than 30 panoramas virtual tour.

Hi @DeanR, 

In that inaccessible thread @LucioV linked to, I suggested this site: 

https://nadirpatch.com/

Lucio said he has reservations with that tool as he had had bad results before but you can also give it a go. 

Once you upload your (or the client's) logo there, you can keep adding it to several photo spheres. Also you can scale it to cover as little (or as much) as necessary - well, between limits. At least try it and then compare the resulting, patched image with the original for any quality loss.

P.S. I think that this user has got two accounts, and one of these is enrolled in the program 😉

Yes, i've absolutely have to find the time to test better nadirpatch!

LucioV, thank you for your link, but I "do not have enough privileges to see it"

[LucioV]

You should have.... please, ask @Csaba to ask for Google Moderator to have a look to your profile here in Connect.

For those who could not know, @Tito is one of the most talented photographers in the 360 world.

Funnily enough, my colleague just found this too and it works perfectly. Problem solved I'd say, thank you for your help!
