Creating Virtual Tours ! Try Us !!

The program is designed for sewing continuous seamless panoramic image of a series of original photographs. Thus, as a rule, are performed sequentially 3 basic steps: 

1.converting raw pictures taken normal lens or lens fish-eye, to a form suitable for binding, ie, bring to a cylindrical or spherical projections; 

2. proper crosslinking, i.e. odinikovyh combination of elements that are related to the general area of the image, and 

3. mixing of adjacent images to equalize their brightness, contrast and color tone.

 It is not our aim of describing their methods of working with various programs linking. To do this, there are instructions and guidance. Our task - to become more familiar with the properties and characteristics of such programs on the example of a few of them. emphasize again that if the original pictures are made in compliance with all the conditions, which were discussed in previous articles (kachestvennoy lens, a tripod, level, and t . etc.), virtually any program linking would do well with its task. In practice, however, the implementation of these requirements is not always possible, and in this case, the cross-linking takes on correcting errors in panoramas caused by assumptions in the selection of equipment and shooting deviations from the ideal scenario. 

Therefore, the program is characterized by cross-linking is not the way it handles the 'perfect' shots, and how she copes with all kinds of errors on the images ('barrel', vignetting, slopes, uneven exposure, color, etc.)The first modern program designed for stitching panoramas from individual photos should be considered QuickTime VR Authoring Studio, released in 1997, the corporation Apple Computers. Since then, the number of programs stitching panoramas on the market, exceeded three decades. 

Most of such programs has their algorithms based automatic stitching, which are based on detection of contrast of picture elements on the original images. Some of the programs carried out stitching on the markers that will put the user in the adjacent images, followed by a combination of marked points on the resulting panorama (PanaVue Image Assembler) . Usually before starting work on cross-linking is necessary to specify the focal length of the lens, with which the survey was conducted.This can be done either by directly entering a numerical value or choose the type of camera with the lens of the available in the program simple database. 

Several programs can independently carry out refinement of these focal lengths (Panorama Factory ,PixMaker Pro) . There are programs that allow stitching panoramas presented several rows of the original pictures (still the same (PanaVue Image Assembler , REALVIZ Stitcher, etc.). Virtually all of the programs allow you to specify the type of future panorama - a flat or circular. Most programs will generate not only the resulting stitched panoramic image but also HTML-code which is suitable for direct placement on the page and allows you to play a single panorama using immediately placed the program-viewer (usually Java-applet), or access the matching plug-in (plug-in) browser.

Higher Rankings and Basic SEO for Your Joomla! Website

Search Engine Friendly URLs

In Joomla, part of the URLs are pulled from the menu aliases, so you have to keep in mind the website’s information architecture as this will affect your URL structure (i.e.: www.example.com/classes/music/).

When Google crawls your website, it looks at the keywords in the website’s URLs so it is essential to include keywords in the URLs. You should enable the Search Engine Friendly URLs setting to avoid having a link that doesn’t make sense to neither humans and nor search engines (i.e.: http://www.example.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1).

You should ask your hosting provider which type of web server you are using and follow the instructions provided in the Joomla documentation for your particular web server.

Redirect www to http://

Search engines see the URLs www.example.com and http://example.com as two separate websites causing your page rank to be split. You also run the risk of Google considering the two websites duplicate content. The way to avoid this in Joomla is to redirect the non-www to www. This is done in the .htaccesss file. You should follow the Suggested Master htaccess fileprovided in the Joomla documentation.

On-page Optimization for Joomla Articles

Title Tag

A title tag determines what the page is about. They also appear on the Search Engine Ranking Pages (SERP), so make sure to write a title that encourages the searcher to click on it. In Joomla, if you want to point to an article, you have to assign a menu item to it; therefore, title tags are also created under menu.

You can add a customized title tag by:

1. Editing the menu item
2. Click on Page Display Options
3. Type in your title in the field Browser Page Title

Keep in mind that Google takes time after you change it to reflect changes. Also, make sure the title is less than 70 characters, as this is the limit Google displays in search results.

Installing Zend Framework 2.0

All,

Here is a quick guide to do for installing your ZF 2.0 in Wamp

Step

1 Install wamp, only the x86 version because the latest version of php is already most recent on x86 with wamp (usefull or mendatory to use PHPUnit). After installation, activate rewrite_module @ wamp icon in the task bar > apache > modules

2 Go to wamp > bin > php > php version folder, open the file php.ini and uncomment one line, usefull for the command line with composer.phar and others .phar (don't use the icon wamp in the task bar, it's not the same effect, one is for php as module of the http server, this other php.ini is for php as php application, only this change work for cli request).

extension=php_openssl.dll

3 Download composer.phar http://getcomposer.org/

4 Download zftool.phar https://packages.zendframework.com/zftool.phar

5 Download and install http://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe to fix the windows path environment OR you can add yourself, type "variable path" in the windows search, hit "...system...", click "Environment variables" in the (just opened) window, search "path" in the list, select, then click modify, and add @the end of the line: ;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16 (change the values for your good version and path).

6 Follow the instruction if you use the executable (the only one thing requested @ the installation is to match correctly the wamp directory of php.exe like wamp > bin > php > php version > php.exe)

remark: if you don't need extra install, you can define the variable path yourself or use all phar command in your shell with .\ before the.phar, and the command line run correctly

e.g.

cd c:/wamp/www
php .\composer.phar self-update

7 After downloading, put composer.phar and zftool.phar to the www directory of wamp

8 Go to > wamp > bin > apache > apache version > conf folder, open the file httpd.conf and uncomment the line

Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

9 Download and install the github/shell @ http://windows.github.com/ (or another shell)

10 Start your Git shell or your shell

11 command line now...

cd c:/wamp/www
php zftool.phar create project c:/wamp/www/zf2

cd ./zf2
php composer.phar self-update
php composer.phar install

12 Go to > wamp > bin > apache > apache version > conf > extra folder, open the file httpd-vhosts.conf and add

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory c:/wamp/www>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName zf2.localhost
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/zf2/public"
    SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
    <Directory c:/wamp/www/zf2/public>
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

13 Open as administrator (right click) your text editor and open the file > windows > system32 > Drivers > etc > hosts and add the line

127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.0.1   zf2.localhost localhost

14 Mendatory: Restart your computer OR console: ipconfig /flushdns + restart wamp

15 Start now your wamp server, open your browser and visit zf2.localhost - Welcome to Zend Framework 2 coders !

From now, it's a few step to start any project with zf2, just create the project with the step 11 (just choose another folder name) and also step 12 + 13 (just add a virtual host but just choose another folderpath name and another domain.localhost name)
