This is the work in progress for the Google Summer of Code application.
Introduction
This is our first effort to get funding for the development of hugin and the underlying panotools engine.
The panotools, initially developed by Professor Helmut Dersch in 1998, are a set of tools to warp and stitch images born ahead of their time. Only a decade later competing products of equal versatility and functionality started to appear.
A number of proprietary GUIs have been commercialized for the panotools, notably PTgui, PTassembler, and PTmac.
hugin is the most advanced OpenSource GUI to the panotools and has some unique features such as the correction of chromatic aberration.
