SolutionHi @KAbhishek,
If you want to remove the watermark, you will need to purchase a Ptgui license.

google street view trusted photographer requires at least 50 accepted 360 photos. Once you achieve that, is can take a few weeks to get the badge.

Is that any possibility directly DSLR camera to take a 360 photos in around 4 areas(90degree) and will uploaded on Google map. my photo how much count it is 1 photo or 50 photo.
Thanks

Yes, you could use your 360 produced with a DSLR.
Just upload to Google Photos, then use the "Import photos" option on the SV App to add to your private folder, assign it to a google maps poi then upload to maps.

@KAbhishek i'm a little confused about what are you asking me.
I will share with you my personal workflow for businesses loading (please, mark my answer as best :D).
1) Take DSLR shoots: i use a Nikon D300 with a Sigma 8mm fisheye, mounted on a Nodal Ninja R10 panoramic head (mounted on a Manfrotto ball head just for leveling)
2) I shoot at least 4 shoots, each at 90° (for HDR, in previous SV|T program we were required to take 12 shoots, +2, 0, -2 each position
3) I shoot in Raw
4) I use Adobe Lightroom to get the best from my shoots (opening shadows, reduce highlights, increase sharpness)
5) I use PTGUI to stitch the photos and obtain an equirectangular panoramic photo (i use standard parameters for PTGUI, only increase sharpness and, sometimes, adjust the exposure controls); sometimes, depending on the structure of the business, i need to add some control points to stitch
6) I use PTGUI to extract the six faces (left, right, rear, bottom, up, front) and i use Photoshop to edit nadir on bottom face (remove tripod, eventually add logo)
7) I use PTGUI to project the bottom face to the panorama equirectangular projection, the same size of the original pano
😎 I use Photoshop to add the projected bottom to the uncorrected equirectangular, i merge levels, the pano is ready
9) I repeat for all the panos of the business
10) I load all the panos to Street View editor in prestitched mode, as i'm an old SV|T photographer, otherwise i load the prestitched photos to Google Photos, in a new folder i call PANO|<businessname>_prestitched
11) I wait for the panos to be loaded
12) I open the SV app, i choose the yellow button on the right bottom corner, and i choose the Import sphericals photos option, then i choose the Google Photos source and i search for the uploaded photos
13) I open each single pano, and i long click on it to add blur for privacy reasons (faces, plates, personal details)
14) I choose a Google Map location for each pano (you can easily add the location to all the loaded panos), then i choose Publish to maps
15) After the images have been published, you can long click on a single image to add a link to another image
You are done 🙂
