Abstract:
This paper describes the design and implementation of an image stitcher which can be used to join colour images. The images are joined in two steps. The first step involves registering two adjacent images using a minimum absolute difference method. The second step adjusts the contrast of the joined images using a linear interpolation of the intensity difference between the two images. The images joined by the stitcher can be used in many applications, such as panoramic viewing, architectural walk through and other teaching or researching purposes.
