Autostitch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autostitch is a proprietary software tool for creating panoramas.

It was developed by Matthew Brown and David G. Lowe at the Department for Computer Science of University of British Columbia. Brown is meanwhile a developer working on the same theme at Microsoft.

The software uses the SIFT- and the RANSAC-Algorithm. This program differs from others such as photostitch in that it automatically stitches together even unaligned or zoomed photographs seamlessly without user input, whereas others often require the user to highlight matching areas for the photographs to merge properly. The only requirement is that all photographs be taken from a single point.
