[ptx] autopano: first attempt at semi-automatic panoramastitching

[Yili Zhao]

Hi,
  you mean that hugin provides a kernel for panorama creating, 
and all other program including preprocess, feature tracking, 
parameters optimizing, image blending and stitching depend on it?
  I think PT has some prototype characteristics of the kernel, and
maybe hugin can organize the kernel as a library?

Regards
Yili
