Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher made by the Microsoft Research [1] division of Microsoft Corporation.
The application takes a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location and creates a high-resolution panorama incorporating all the source images at full resolution. The stitched panorama can be saved in a wide variety of file formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats like HD View and Deep Zoom, as well as allowing multi-resolution upload to the Microsoft Photosynth site. It can also be saved to a web page with a zoomable viewer using a third-party template. As of 2021 the program is no longer available for download from Microsoft [2] though it can be found on various other sources such as Internet Archive [3].
However, Microsoft ICE currently does not provide any anti- ghosting mechanism, like other panorama stitching programmes do, e.g. the open source programme Hugin (software) and various commercial applications.
