Pole cam's future

A 3rd rework put the camera as high as it could go. This required putting the fan under the camera & pointing the soft lens forward. A bit more effort could rotate lenses by rotating the entire assembly. Because the fan was underneath, the only way to give it airflow was to mount the protection farther away. It's not protected from a diagonal fall, but is fully protected from axial & sideways falls. Fortunately, no vehicle has ever flipped over diagonally. They've manely fallen sideways. The gopro death was an axial fall from accelerating.


It's reasonably unobstructed. What happens next is already known from decades of making camera systems. The test movie is too shaky to be useful so stabilization in the spherical domane is developed, over months & years. For now, the frat houses provide stabilization of spherical videos when played in a viewer but not equirectangular mode. There's unoptimized, 2 year old source code for doing it with mobius transforms.


How times have changed from 20 years ago when any idea had a recent example in source code.
