Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the application creates a high-resolution panorama that seamlessly combines the original images. The stitched panorama can be shared with friends and viewed in 3D by uploading it to the Photosynth web site.

ICE keeps closing in windows10 during operation, it will run for a few minutes then just stop and an error message will appear saying that "The ICE Program Has Encountered A Problem And Must Shut Down", then the ICE program does shut down and it's more than FRUSTRATING when you're right in the middle of trying to create a panorama !
