Can I stitch together images taken from Google Earth (printed from there), and NOT taken with a camera?  - does your coding script necessarily require camera information?

No, PTGui does not need camera information. However, as far as my
experience goes, if you rotate the view in Google Earth, it doesn't
rotate around the viewpoint, but around a point in front of you. This
causes heavy parallax, which makes stitching impossible.

There is a Chrome extension called Pano fetch, that you can use when viewing a StreetView  in Google Maps, and it will stitch together a pretty good 360 panorama from the images of the place you are viewing. It allows you to select the size and resulting resolution. It is available here:
