'''Panorama Tools''' ''(also known as '''PanoTools''')'' are a suite of programs and libraries for [[image stitching]], i.e., re-projecting and blending multiple source images into [[immersive panorama]]s of many types. It was originally written by German [[physics]] and [[mathematics]] professor Helmut Dersch. An updated version of the Panorama Tools library serves as the underlying core engine for many software panorama [[graphical user interface]] front ends.{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}}
