Image Stitching is a computer vision technique that combines multiple overlapping photographs into a single, wider or more complete image. The process detects common visual features between images, aligns their perspectives, and blends the overlapping regions to create a seamless result. Advanced stitching systems can automatically correct differences in exposure, perspective, and camera position, allowing separate photographs to appear as one continuous scene.
Image Stitching is commonly used in panoramic photography, virtual tours, mapping, satellite imaging, medical imaging, and computer vision applications. Its purpose is to expand the field of view or combine complementary visual information that cannot be captured effectively in a single photograph. By merging multiple images, it can produce detailed panoramas and larger visual representations while preserving important scene features. This makes stitching valuable for photography, geographic analysis, documentation, and immersive visual experiences.
