Image Stitching

[Dave Allen-2]

Hi All,
I am working in Dublin City University at the moment and am involved with
trying to stitch images for a 450mm wafer.

There are approx 14,000 X-Ray topographs of the wafer to be stitched taken
in a snake pattern.

The problems I am coming up against are that:
I cannot use a grid pattern as each row is composed of a different number
of images getting larger as I imaged the wafer from the top to the centre
of the wafer.
The other problem is that when I look at the images that they are away from
the edge of the wafer the images are a uniform grey.

I have tried using Stitch collection of images using a template I have with
the coordinates of each image in it but when I use this I get an error
message stating that I am missing some information namely something called
ImagePlus.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

if you could send me some example images where the error occurs together with the TileConfiguration file that you created I should be able to tell you what goes wrong. However, for these amount of images you might want to consider using TrackEM2 which has the Stitching as well as SIFT registration built in. It is more designed for dealing with thousands of images ...

Nice greetings,
Stephan
