Helmut,
The results look good.
Next step is to process images from a multicamera rig and also get rig of
rolling shutter to get more consistent seams.
Hope to see you discuss this at the IVRPA meeting in Prague this June.
Although I now use VideoStitch to take advantage of my graphics card to do the
heavy processing I am still probably the biggest pusher of using MPRemap.
