Rotostitch

Rotostitch is a simple app for taking an image sequence of an object being turned 360 degrees by regular increments, and stitching them into a cylindrical projection texture.

Why?

In all likelihood, if you download Rotostitch, it is because you know exactly what you want it for. However, an example use case would be to 'scan' a cylindrical object such as a pill bottle or soda can and use the resulting image as a diffuse texture on a 3D model of the object.

How?

The method used is trivially simple. It basically takes a series of images that are assumed to be of an object rotating 360 degrees on regular increments, cuts vertical strips out of each one, and assembles them into the final image.
