Which software are people using to stitch geo referenced images together in order to get a scaled overall image?
I have seen how to insert the geo tags into the images here >> http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Geotagging
Microsoft ICE and Photoshop can stitch images but are there any programs which will take the geo tag into account while doing this?
Thanks!

warm regards,
I'm really not a professional photo stitcher, and I do stitch photos with the professional panorama software Panorama Maker, I love the 3d panorama photos it can make. Maybe you can have it a try.
Dronemapper may seems the best option at this moment with very reasonable charges. Pix4d is much more expensive. I will not consider stand alone software for geo reference work. They all expensive, several thousand USD for some and the hard ware requirement is way beyond our dairy computer configuration. You need a purpose build computer, 32GB of RAM to start with which will cost a fortune.
Have you seen this: http://mapknitter.org/
Also just discovered some software called pix4d, not sure of price though, no prices displayed on the website. Also what camera are you using? I've had trouble linking the images to the flight path using the APM geo tagging tool, i was thinking of buying a Canon sx230 hs as it has a built in GPS so images would be geotagged automatically.
