Image Stitching Algorithm

This project demonstrates an image stitching algorithm using OpenCV to create a panorama from multiple images.

Project Structure

main.py
images/
    image1.jpg
    image2.jpg
    image3.jpg
    image4.jpg
    image5.jpg
    image6.jpg
    image7.jpg
    panorama.jpg

• main.py: The main script that reads images, stitches them into a panorama, and displays the result.
• images/: Directory containing the input images and the output panorama.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• OpenCV
• NumPy
• Matplotlib

Install the required Python packages using:

pip install opencv-python-headless numpy matplotlib

Usage

1. Place the images you want to stitch in the images/ directory.
2. Update the image_files list in main.py with the filenames of the images to be stitched.
3. Run the script:

python main.py

4. The resulting panorama will be saved as images/panorama.jpg and displayed along with the original images.

Error Handling

The script handles the following errors:

• Missing or unreadable images.
• Insufficient images for stitching.
• Homography estimation failure.
• Camera parameter adjustment failure.

If an error occurs, it will be printed to the console.

Example Output

After running the script, the stitched panorama will look like this (example):
