Panoramic image is image with elongated fields of view that can be obtained by either using specialised equipment or software. Panoramic image can be produce by stitching multiple images and overlapping the field of view. There are several algorithm to create panoramic images and one it is by scale-invariant feature transform (or SIFT) algorithm. It detects and describes the local features of the images as with the descriptors, it helps to recognize object.
