I looked into this a while back as well. It looked like http://www.2d3.com/ (~$10K!) had the best software if you want plug and play google earth type layers and orthomosaics straight from you photos with out much effort, but I haven't used it. I'd also love to hear back from anyone actually using software to do this type of stuff.

Thanks for the reply.  I checked out the site and it looks promising, but without sample sets or a trial, it's hard to tell how well this software actually works.

I agree its hard to know without a demo. I spoke to one of their reps on the phone for a while and he gave very good answers for all my questions. I was looking for a plug and play product for getting google earth layers from uav flights without having to do much on my side other then load up the images and gps track. But you never know until you try.

I am trying to do the exact same thing with minimal expense.
I'm using a standard Skywalker with a Lumix 12Mp camera. After testing lots of other softwares
I have the trial version of Autopano and am impressed with the results after putting about 6000 pics through it. I finally worked out that better results are achieved with fewer pics (<20) rather than more(120). let me know if you want some samples or more info.
