[OSGeo-Discuss] looking for OS softwre to stitch aerial photosautomatically

[Streithorst, Kip]

As an Opticks committer, I can say it does not do that out-of-the-box.

You could write something using our C++, Python or IDL interfaces.  We
have no current plans to add this capability, since the focus of Opticks
is MASINT and non-literal exploitation.

I am not sure what Opticks (opticks.org) can do by now really since I 
checked it last time... but you may have a look.

If you find something can you report back? so I can update my FOS GIS 
projects paper/map I am writing on.
