Panoramic Image Stitching Tools for Unix?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday March 27, 2003 @04:55PM from the putting-them-together-properly dept.

jbuberel asks: "I just got myself a fancy new Canon Powershot S400 camera. One of it's nifty features is it's 'Panoramic Assist' mode that helps you line up a series of images that can later be stitched together to form one larger panoramic image. Of course the software that ships with the camera to do the stitching is Windows-only. After spending some time probing freshmeat.net and google.com, I came across one dead project, and another relatively academic project who's tools are largely undocumented. So are there any up-to-date tools for composing panoramic photos in Unix? With so many digital photo afficianados out there, I was surprised there wasn't an easy-to-use GIMP plugin for this."

Panotools is a wonderful toolkit for panoramas. While the main site is down, you can find mirrors. It isn't an automatic solution - you can't provide it with a series of images and let it try to automatically line them up. But with a little manual work it does a wonderful job of stitching images and correcting for basic lens distortions.

I also searched for easy to use panorama software. So far the best solution I have found is running The Panorama Factory with wine. Works great.
