Microsoft Image Composite Editor

Microsoft Research today released an updated version of Image Composite Editor (ICE). Automatic Image Completion. This new update includes revamped user experience and some cool new features. For example, the new Automatic Image Completion will use pattern recognition technology to fill in void in one area of your panorama. You no longer need to start over in the process of stitching your images, uou can go back one step. The new  video-to-panorama feature that helps you quickly select frames from a video and stitches them together into a stroboscopic motion panorama, where the person in the video appears intermittently across the entire range of the static image. Also, there are variety of lenses or projections to your image creating nearly a dozen effects, such as fish-eye, spherical, orthographic and stereographic.

ICE is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. ICE can create a seamless high-resolution panorama from overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, or from a panning video, or even from a stop-motion action overlaid on the background. You can share finished panoramas on Photosynth web site, or saved in a variety of image formats like JPEG and TIFF to the multiresolution tiled format used by Silverlight’s Deep Zoom and by the HD View and HD View SL panorama viewers.
