ICE Is 1.3.3 and Now Synthy

Microsoft ICE is the Microsoft free solution to compute panoramic images.

What's new in the 1.3.3 version (A lot of stuff !)

1. - Accelerated stitching on multiple CPU cores
2. - Ability to publish, view, and share panoramas on the Photosynth web site
3. - Support for "structured panoramas" — panoramas consisting of hundreds of photos taken in a rectangular grid of rows and columns (usually by a robotic device like the GigaPan tripod heads)
4. - No image size limitation — stitch gigapixel panoramas
5. - Support for input images with 8 or 16 bits per component

Additional features

1. - State-of-the-art stitching engine
2. - Automatic exposure blending
3. - Choice of planar, cylindrical, or spherical projection
4. - Orientation tool for adjusting panorama rotation
5. - Automatic cropping to maximum image area
6. - Native support for 64-bit operating systems
7. - Wide range of output formats, including JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, HD Photo, and Silverlight
   

So what are missing :

1. - Fish eye images are not supported,
2. - HDR 32 bits,
3. - MAC/Linux builds.
