360 on the Fly Function, Stitching with ‚HUGIN‘, publishing on Google Street View
I like the 360 on the Fly Function in Dronelink (using DJI Mavic Mini).
It took me some time to find out, how to stitch the 23 pictures. ICE did not work for me. And manual stitching must be a lot of work.
But now I found HUGIN Panorama stitcher (details:http://hugin.sourceforge.net/). This works perfect and does all automatically for any number of panoramic pictures. (it just needs some time for calculations).
HUGIN is available for several platforms (mac, windows, linux, …) and is freeware.
I used the version for Ubuntu
Steps:
1) Load images
2) Allign (automatically)
3) chose projection (→e.g. ‚equirectangular‘ for a spherical bubble)
4) Crop
5) Create panorama (e.g. jpg file with 90% quality)
There are a lot of options for fine tuning, the software seems to be very powerful.
But I just used it in a simple way and here is the result of my first try:

The 360 image (at “Pferdehof Teddy”) might take some time to download. When watching on a smartphone you can move the phone around and see the details. Viewing with VR cardbox should also be possible.
Google Street View is just an option. Other picture formats, like "tiny planet" are also possible when using different projection method.
Enjoy your next flight!

That looks FABULOUS! Once the wind dies down here, I've got to give that a try myself.
