I've been using Hugin in an attempt to do this process. While the control point generation works out ok (note there are some licensing restrictions due to patents in all the current algorithms) the stitching never comes out quite right because of hugin's insistence on warping to a projection that assumes a camera mounted on a stationary tripod.
In discussions with some of the OSSIM team, they are interested in this area but the current app does not do this. Other options that have come up are OpenCv and Nasa Image Workbench but both of these are programming libraries and would require c/c++ coding. It would be great to collaborate on getting this implemented in an OSGeo project. I know several researchers with a need for a tool that does this.
