As you can see in the stitched image the top and the bottom of the image is very distorted.

This is very important when you trying to patch in the up shot and the down shot in a 360 pano. Good stitching software can rotate the panorama about. If you look at the two stitches you will also see that the stitched images are 180 degree apart. If you look at the one I did with PTassembler you can see the tripod is not in the image. The example I show using Autopano pro you can see in automatic mode Autopano Pro did not remove the tripod. I include one of these in the testing panorama stitching software. The most extreme Panorama is the 360 Spherical kind and one can be made with as few as five images. When it come down to it for Automatic and Controlled Stitching IMO the most capable is Autopano Pro it supports more file formats and can even search through all you image folders and stitch images that can be stitched. There are free trial versions of most panorama stitching software and I have tried most of it. Too hard to use many made things easier and PTgui, PTassembler, PTmac, Hugin and other used Panorama Tools source. "Best" is often subjective, often cost will often rank less capable offerings higher in someones rankings the then better products.Ĭlearly Helmut Dersch and his grad students did all the hard work and made Panorama tools and source available for free.
