Design of Aerial Panoramic Photography: Contrast between Industrialized and Natural Zones

Abstract

This study utilized aerial panoramic photography and 3D virtual reality to demonstrate the environmental changing issues. Environmental problems have occurred in the surroundings for a long time, but the public has gradually become numb. The wide view through aerial photography helps to show the difference. The proposed self-assembled drone equipped with an antishock bracket containing a six-axis aerial camera was used to capture videos with the critical environmental problems in Taiwan. The captured panoramic video was processed using post-production software to create a unique documentary revealing the adverse effects of pollution. The video portrayed a sharp contrast between the eastern and western coastline of Taiwan by presenting planet images. Most participants of a survey reported increased awareness of environmental protection after watching the aerial panoramic films.
