Goal: Learn to stitch images and obtain panorama

• Practice a stitching software and learn to obtain good results by adjusting the software's settings and parameters.
• Practice a tutorial C++ code and learn to stitch your images by hand-written program codes.

Program, sample codes and readings

• AutoStitch program
• OpenCV Image Stitching tutorial code
• Automatic Panoramic Image Stitching using Invariant Features. M. Brown and D. Lowe. International Journal of Computer Vision. 74(1), pages 59-73, 2007. (pdf)
• Recognising Panoramas. M. Brown and D. G. Lowe. International Conference on Computer Vision. pages 1218-1225, Nice, France, 2003. (pdf)

Requirements

• Use your images to run the AutoStitch program.
• Use your images to run the OpenCV Image Stitching tutorial code.

Report

• Create a web page with descriptions, explanation and pictures for your homework. Requirements of the report page:
  • For the AutoStitch program, you have to write 4 parts: (1) goal of this program, (2) method and theory of the program, (3) stitching results.
  • For the OpenCV Image Stitching tutorial code, you have to write 5 parts: (1) goal of this code, (2) theory and principle of the code, (3) cv::stitcher class explanation, (4) code segment, and (5) stitching results.
• Compare and discuss the result images of both methods for the same test images.
