Are there any Autopano Server alternative or automated panorama stitching/video panorama open source?

Question

I haven't found any server side panorama making from stitching images or a video. I would like an open source alternative, but found any. I just don't want to go trough the hassle of developing all this on my own since but paid software usually are closed source and not very flexible.

I've seen some nifty panorama from video software in the iphone and thought it would be easy to find on *nix systems but with no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The only option I know is to use panostart (which is part of hugin) from whatever server language you are using.

See here for more information and other command line tools that do parts of the process more specifically.

panostart just works with images, so obviously if you wanted it to work with videos then you would have to process the videos with something like ffmpeg -i z.mov -f image2 export2\%d.png to generate images to pass to panostart.

The other alternative which requires more effort is to write something that uses libpano13 and libffmpeg directly.
