Nice, but no Mac version!

spotted elsewhere :
It seems a French company has licensed the autostitch algorithms
for use
in Autopano Pro. I've just started giving the demo a try. Seems to
have
lot's of features, but given what little time I've had driving it,
it's a
bit rough around the edges. Definitely a 1.x release
ah, confirmed:
http://www.autopano.net/faq
"Autopano Pro is a commercial version of Autostitch using a licensed
professional version of the SIFT algorithm "
for ease though, autostitches method of pointing to a folder and
clicking
'go' is hard to beat! ;)
Autopano is probably better than autostitch even though it uses the
same
SIFT algorithm as they probably did more to the interface to make
it easier
for people to use.
the algorithms in Hugin (enblend blender and nona stitcher) are
different
to autostitch/autopano pro but you can see the results and read a
review
here:
http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/08/22/148209&tid=75
looking again at this reviewers image I can see banding that
autostitch and
probably autopano eliminate better, but throwing messy images with
lost of
detail at it, hugin perfoprmed better in my first attempt at
playing with
it than autostitch..
Again though, Hugin and Autostitch are both free for anyone who
cares to
download them so for students who might want to experiment with an
image of
two, autostitch or Hugin might suit them, and for intricate non-sky
shots,
hugin may outperform both autostitch and autopano .
Of course, just like with sharpening algorithms, different algorithms
perform better with different subjects.
