photomerge, autostitch, panoramic image

[Annette Web.de]

Hi,

I'm working with an E-SEM and I'm investigating micro fabrics of sandstones
and marble.

I did a mapping with about 500 single BSE images - now I have to put them
together (stitch?) to a panoramic image.

Usually I used Photoshop with the photomerge function - which worked OK.

But now I have a new Photoshop CS 5 version on my pc and it's not possible
to do some manually changes by using photomerge.

 

However - is there another and working possibility to stitch (500) images to
a panoramic image?

 

Thanks!

 

Annette

Dear Annette,

I assume that you do not mean panoramic montage but a mosaic montage.
The difference is, that a panoramic montage is the reconstruction of an
image that consists of overlapping images shot from the same viewpoint
with a rotating camera.  If you shift the stage/beam/camera, it is a
mosaic, that is all images are in the same plane.

For the first, there is hugin

http://hugin.sourceforge.net/

for the latter, there are two solutions:

Stitching, for the simple case where you have shift only:

or TrakEM2, for more complex situations where you have also rotation,
shear, lens distortion...

TrakEM2 also offers the desired manual interaction.

Best,
Stephan
