Tips：
1. To improve the stitching quality, please create a new folder named ""background"" under the path of source videos, put a set of background images (jpg) into it, and then rename these images 1-8.jpg in sequence.
2. The background image must be a static scene image with a fixed location taken by Obsidian Pro. In the same scene, you can take a set of jpg as the background image before shooting the video. Or you can also select 1 frame from 8 fisheye source videos that you shot before as the background image.
Kandao Raw+ uses computational photography techniques, similar to what we are seeing in many high-end smartphones, to create images with increased detail and dynamic range, as well as lower noise levels. To achieve that it combines a burst of Raw images into one single DNG file that can then be further edited with a Raw converter of your choice.
