Although this isn't directly related to the end goal of achieving
geo-referenced aerial imagery via OS software, AutoStitch does a
great job of automatic panoramic image mosaicing:

The licensing info says "We are happy to hear from companies
interested in developing products using AutoStitch", so perhaps
a call from Tyler (who also happens to be in BC) to the office
at UBC would be appropriate, to see if there is any possibility
of collaboration between them and OSGeo to utilize their code
in an OSGeo-backed project.
