Software

The LizardQ Stitcher is your friend when batch-processing large amounts of panoramic images automatically. Just copy all files from the camera's memory card to a folder on your computer, drag&drop that folder onto the LizardQ Stitcher, and watch it generating results. Quickly.

Input, Processing, Output

It's that simple.

The fully automated LizardQ capture process is complemented by fully automatic image processing. The Stitcher's job is to group an unsorted collection of raw image files into individual full spherical images, rename the files accordingly, line them up nicely and generate perfectly stitched HDR panoramas.

It is not necessary to manually sort your images, align them or to set so-called "control points" for the stitching process.

LizardQ Stitcher is fast.

With the LizardQ capturing "camera raw" image files to assure the best possible image quality, there comes a challenge: to cope with the massive amount of data in a full HDR panoramic image. Existing third-party stitching software was just too slow and often required a human to identify sets of images, correct alignment errors and such.
That's why we did our own. No manual intervention, and optimized to be just fast.

With the LizardQ camera system, you can leisurely capture a panorama every five minutes. This includes the time for moving the tripod to the next location and do some planning ahead. All day long. With the LizardQ Stitcher, your image processing will keep up. For actual processing times, see the sample images.

Mac and Windows

We build our software to work equally well on all major platforms:
Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and MacOS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion) are all supported.

Even ask for a Linux version if you need one.

What else can you do with the LizardQ Stitcher?

Rearrange panoramic images in the processing queue (put the one you need first at the top)
Stop and re-start processing at any time (free your computer up for other tasks when needed)
Set the desired resolution of the output HDR image
Read out GPS locations
And more…

Tone mapping and cube faces

A panoramic image formatted to cube faces can come in handy for a variety of applications – some viewers require it, various 3D laser scanning software can use them to map RGB image data onto 3D point clouds. Our software produces cube faces as individual tone mapped JPEG files for just that purpose.

Viewer included

LizardQ Stitcher includes a full spherical HDR viewer component, named LizardQ Viewer. The viewer is also available as a standalone variant that can be freely distributed.
