Stitching Pipeline

1. compositing
2. feature extraction
3. feature matching
4. panorama recognizing
5. mosaic images
6. image blending

Dependencies

• OpenCV 3.2+
• Python 3
• PyQt5
• numpy
• opencv-contrib-python

Modules

• features.py: provides a FeatureExtractor that could extract various features from an image.
• matches.py: provides a FeatureMatcher that could match two set of features.
• stitching.py: provides a Stitcher that stitch multiple images.
• spherical.py: provides an image warper that could warp image spherically.
• cylindrical.py: provides an image warper that could warp image cylindrically.
• GUI.py: provides an graphic user interface for this programe.

Code Execution

Type in the following command on a terminal to execute the software with graphic user interface.
