Kyle McDonald and Golan Levin at Flong blog produced these “flower panoramas.” This is what you would see if you were doing panoramic imaging from inside a flower…
A complete set of about two dozen such panoramas can be seen in this Flickr set.
A modified version of the software — the FlowerUnwarper — was optimized for unwarping flower images, and is available here (including source code). The software is built in Processing and uses the ControlP5 library. All of the source photos used in this project were distributed with Creative Commons Attribution licenses.
As of July 10, the team at NotCot have since used their software to create some beautiful and fascinating views of unwarped chandeliers! Truly beautiful things.
