Stitching Window

The Manipulate panel provides the tools that you may need to manipulate the tiled images in the workspace. You can pan and zoom, as well as scroll through the layers of the tiled mosaic with these tools (see Using the Manipulate Tools).

You can translate and rotate the currently selected image tile(s) with the Translate and Rotate tools (see Translating and Rotating Objects) to manually position image tiles within a mosaic.

You may find that in cases of complex image stitching challenges, it is sometimes easier to work on isolated sub-sections of the mosaic and to then stitch the aligned groups together.

Options and controls for automatically and manually aligning overlapping 2D and 3D tiled images and stitching the result into a single high-resolution image are available in the Stitcher panel (see Stitcher Panel and Settings). Additional options let you blend overlapping regions to create a seamless result, as well as save a configuration file of the coordinates of each image tile in the stitched result.

The workspace contains a view of the image tiles arranged in the selected grid layout. You can apply different LUTs to your Reference and To Stitch selections, as well as highlight the images that are contained within the mosaic.

Stitching workspace

The text annotation available in the Image Stitching workspace lets you scroll through the layers of the mosaic.

Preview windows are available for previewing and evaluating the Feature Base and Template Matching methods (see Feature Base and Template Matching). You can pan, zoom, and customize the window, as well as save the figure. The example below illustrates how the best matches within two overlapping images are mapped to each other in the Feature Base preview window.
