Stitching Images

A program written in R stitching 2 images assuming they have a common fragment

Requirements to run the files

Packages to install/import:

• R

  • RStudio (IDE)
  • png
  • readbitmap
  • rstudioapi

• Python

  • from skimage.color import gray2rgb
  • from skimage.io import imread, imsave
  • from os import listdir, mkdir
  • from os.path import isfile, join, exists
  • from skimage.util import compare_images
  • import numpy as np
  • import argparse

Steps to take if you wish to test the algorithm on some dataset:

1. Clone the project
2. Populate folder "source_images" with initial images in bmp file format
3. Run the python script "split.py" - it will split images in two parts putting them in folders 'left' and 'right' correspondingly
4. Run the R script "imageStitching.R" - it will stitch images and put them all in folder 'stitched_images'
5. If you want to compare images - run the python script "validate.py"

All stitched images are gonna be in 'stitched_images' folder

Steps to take if you only want to stitch two parts of an image:

1. Clone the project
2. Populate folders 'left' and 'right' with images you want to stitch. In 'left' folder - put left part of images, in 'right' put right part of images
3. Run the R script "imageStitching.R"

All stitched images are gonna be in 'stitched_images' folder
