I'm trying to create panoramas in an iOS app by stitching together several images (similar to an app like PhotoSynth). I've looked all over and haven't yet found a winning implementation strategy. Here are the things I've looked into:
1) Linking OpenCV for iOS and implementing stitching and the panorama creation process myself.
2) Getting panotools to work on iOS and using the PT* functions to produce the panorama
Am I on the right track? Are there any simpler ways of implementing this?
Obviously a good quality out-of-the-box solution is preferred, but if there isn't one, which of the two above (or another) strategies would be best for a CV novice?

Perhaps you should try to understand how to build panoramas from a technical stand point before you implement the software on the IPhone.
EDIT: March 2013 I'm pretty sure the link I gave worked in January 2012, but it is indeed now broken, Alternative links: https://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse455/06wi/readings/szeliskiShum97.pdf http://www.multires.caltech.edu/teaching/courses/3DP/papers/SchumSzeliski.pdf
