Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher made by the Microsoft Research division of Microsoft Corporation.[1]

The application takes a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location and creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all the source images at full resolution. The stitched panorama can be saved in a wide variety of file formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats like HD View and Silverlight DeepZoom, as well as allowing multi-resolution upload to the Microsoft Photosynth site.

Features

  • Stitching algorithms automatically place source images and determine panorama type
  • Advanced orientation adjustment view allows planar, cylindrical, and spherical projections
  • Support for different types of camera motion
  • Panorama stitching from video
  • Exposure blending using Microsoft Research fast Poisson algorithm
  • Automatic lens vignette removal
  • Automatic cropping to maximum image area
  • Optional automatic completion of missing image parts (helpful for sky, clouds, grass, gravel etc.)
  • No image size limitation - stitch Gigapixel images
  • Constrained assembly of image sets taken on a known regular grid, e.g. with a Gigapan head
  • Native support for 64-bit operating systems
  • Output in a wide variety of image formats:
  • Panorama publishing to Microsoft Photosynth

However, Microsoft ICE currently does not provide any anti-Ghosting-mechanism, like other panorama stitching programmes do, e.g. the open source programme Hugin (software) and various commercial applications.
