How to stitch photos to panoramic pictures?

A digital SLR camera, plus either a fisheye lens or normal lens, can help you shoot high quality photos. With fisheye lens, only 4-6 photos are needed to stitch a 360 degree panoramic photo. With normal lens, more photos in a single line or even multiple lines are needed to stitch a 360 degree panorama.

Normal photos captured by: Nikon D200 + 17-55mm lens

Import the normal photos to Panoweaver to stitch a 360 degree panoramic photo like following:
