The Led Zeppelin Project is a site where some guys from Macon Georgia launched a weather balloon with a payload containing cameras and GPS tracking equipment. Their Photo-Recon project has a DIY section that offers some helpful hints. (link below)
The balloonists get pretty high, but they don't reach space. They get so high that the pressure around the balloon is so low that it stretches out and bursts. What you need is a balloon (weather type) you can buy on e-bay Lots of helium, a camera, a parachute, a gps tracking device (some use cell phones) and some guts. The bad thing about it is that when the payload falls back to earth, it could be out of control (like is the chute doesn't open.) If that happens, you could kill someone on the ground if it hit them.
Weather balloons don't carry cameras. They carry packages of atmospheric sensors in what is called a radiosonde.
A stabilized tracking camera system.
Sorry to say but none of you are really right, what you do is you send a big balloon up and the ailien that finds it takes a picture with the digital camera attached to the balloon and then they send it back down if you don't believe me even type into Google images ailiens capturing the weather! because i really ecconomicly should know that because i have had experience for i am a weather scientist.
what is matchmoving ? matchmoving is nothing more than figering out what the real world camera did while filming the footage, and it does that by producing a 3D camera matching the real one, which you can use in your 3D program and that process is called camera tracking. So Camera Tracking gives you the ability to add CG objects that match the same position, rotation and prespective of your original footage. Ok, now lets see , How matchmoving programs do camera tracking ? The matchmoving programs are designed to help us figre out the camera movement using information that only containt in a 2D plate. It does that by tracking featured points in the footage and then calculates these results in order to produce a 3D camera that matches the real one.
The payload of Dr. Goddard's first rocket consisted of a barometer and a camera to collect data and images during the flight. The rocket was designed to test the principles of rocket propulsion.
A high altitude camera was used to take pictures of earth from aircraft (typically fixed to the underside of aircraft body) or air balloon. This type of camera operates in extremely cold weather (around minus 50).
Below are some of the gadgets that are great teen driving tracking system. 1. GPS tracking device 2. Mobile GPS Tracker 3. Car camera
You can find a video tutorial for 3D camera tracking on the After Effects program at the YouTube video platform website. You can also locate on on the Blender Guru website as well.
