PanaVue Image Assembler
PanaVue Image Assembler is image stitching software to join separate, overlapping images into multi-row mosaics or panoramas. It comes in three editions: Standard, with basic tools; Professional, with the power to make really large images; and Enterprise, with batch processing facilities.
Image Assembler's potential applications include landscape panoramas, maps, medical imagery, paintings, and making detailed composites from aerial and satellite photos. Its interface allows you to position flags or markers to indicate the stitching points: a precise method that allows you to tilt the camera and get away with it. Image Assembler can warp and blend images as well as adjust their color. An automatic mode positions all the images without manual intervention.
Image Assembler adjusts itself to lenses of different focal length, including very wide angle or fisheye lenses with a focal length above 10.4mm.
Comment
PanaVue Image Assembler does not stitch full spherical panoramas but it deals effectively with 360-degree versions. It is much admired for its efficient automatic stitching and ability to compensate for lens distortion. The pro version has a maxium side length limitation of 100,000 pixels: big enough for most applications.
