There are both command-line and GUI versions of autopano-sift. There is a tutorial for Using Autopano-SIFT With PTGui.

Autopano-sift is Open Source and written using C# and mono. The use of the Scale-invariant feature transform algorithm is restricted by US Patent 6,711,293 awarded March 23, 2004 to the University of British Columbia.
