Microsoft Releases Image Composite Editor (ICE)

Microsoft Research A lot of people seem to think Microsoft is all about Windows and Office, and that’s it.  The reality is there is a lot more going on at Redmond than you might think.  The best part is a lot of the Research that goes on at Microsoft is freely available on the Internet.  Take Microsoft “ICE” for example.  Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE) is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. You shoot a set of overlapping photographs of a scene from a single location, and Image Composite Editor creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all your images at full resolution.

Finally you can take your new creation and save your stitched panorama in a wide variety of formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats like HD View and Silverlight Deep Zoom.

Microsoft ICE Features

The Image Composite Editor is completely free.  Microsoft explains that some of the major features are it’s ability to stitch pictures together like nothing that has been commercially available before, and also has some pretty amazing export formats.  Some features include:

  • State-of-the-art stitching algorithms
  • Advanced orientation adjustment view
  • Exposure blending
  • Output in many formats:
    • HD View
    • Silverlight Deep Zoom
    • TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and more

    is there an iMac version of the software?

  • Abdul Rahman

    Actually I think ICE is one of the BEST things to happen to the world of free software.

    One particularly nifty (yet unconventional) application of ICE is to take overlapping pictures of google maps (also FREE for non-commercial use) and use ICE to stitch them together to get one big map…of maybe your entire state!!

    I actually used it for that purpose once and I gotta say: I'm impressed!!!

They talked about their lack of belstaff outlet success with women all the time. Both men were really quite handsome but they were also very devoted to establishing themselves in their careers. Calvin was actually very introverted for his age and generally spent more time with the computer-generated females in his favourite video games than with any real women.
