1. A method for optimized stitching of overcapture content, the method comprising:
capturing the overcapture content;
generating overlap bands associated with the overcapture content;
determining a shortest path stitch line through the overlap bands; and
generating a warp file based on the shortest path stitch line, the warp file comprising a string of unsigned character values, each of the unsigned character values representing a shortest path value corresponding to a location on the shortest path stitch line.
