Here is the issue. I have a project where I am taking a PTZ camera (that's a camera that can be moved programatically) and taking pictures from the far right of it's range, to the far left. I then need to stitch the photos toether to create a panoramic.
Does anyone know of any tutorials for this, or have any idea how I would go about this.
Thanks
It's not a VB.NET solution, but AutoStitch is ranked as the best free "image stitcher" software (or at least the best as said by Tech Support Alert).
Are we to assume that this camera has a full 360 degree FOV?
Woss
The camera it self does have 360 FOV. But mostlikely it will be set in a corner so we will be setting the max left and max right. Do you have an idea how I can do it?

I took a look at the AutoStitch. If they provide some sort of framework so I can integrate it into my app that will be perfect.
If you have a nice setup that physically moves in small increments then you need to work out how many pixels wide the increment is. Then you just select a thin column of pixels vertically in the centre of the image.
Take a picture, keep the thin column of pixels (throw the rest away). then move the camera and take another picture and do the same thing over and over until you have the whole area covered.....
You will end up with lots of small vertical strips of picture data. Then its a matter of putting them side-by side and smoothing with a simple filter.
Thats my best guess without seeing the hardware you have to play with.
