How to create a panorama from video under Linux?

Option 1: Autopano Pro

Autopano Pro is a great sophisticsted panorama software that comes with a Linux version (.deb package even!). It is commercial software for about 100 USD, but has a demo version that will do about the same, just watermarking the generated panoramas.

They have a an article "Fun : Stitching video frames" that explains in detail how to create a panorama from a video. I was successfully able to do it like this, on Ubuntu 14.04.
