PictureWorks Technology Releases VideoBrush Image Stitching Applications

DANVILLE, Calif.--PictureWorks Technology announces the availability of three photo and video stitching applications stemming from its acquisition of the VideoBrush Corporation product line. VideoBrush(TM) Panorama v2.0, VideoBrush(TM) Photographer v1.1, and VideoBrush(TM) Whiteboard v1.1 are now available for purchase from the PictureWorks Technology.

VideoBrush Panorama turns a video-enabled computer and a camcorder or digital video camera into a wide-angle high-resolution panoramic imager. Simply pan the camera over a scene to build a wide-angle panoramic image. VideoBrush Panorama will automatically compensate for the slight up-and-down tilt and side-to-side rotation of a hand-held camera.

VideoBrush Photographer automatically stitches together a series of still photographs into a single high-resolution image. VideoBrush Photographer can stitch photographs in both the horizontal and vertical directions to capture even larger scenes then typical horizontal-only stitching products. No special methods are needed to take photos for VideoBrush Photographer; a simple series of shots with a hand-held film or digital camera is all that is needed.

VideoBrush Whiteboard software turns any video-equipped computer into an "electronic whiteboard" which can capture meeting notes from a whiteboard or flip-chart into a full-color high-resolution image with a few quick sweeps by a hand-held camera. This software makes it easy to save whiteboard notes electronically, without the need to take notes by hand, or to scan manual notes or re-draw diagrams into a computer.
