Yes it can, but at a price: one will need the C library fftw version 2
installed (2.1.3 recommended), and its java jfftw.jar wrapper (both are
GPL). The merging is a few weeks away -still lots of details to polish.
The algorithm is noise-resistant and won't (can't) be perfect, but works
near perfection when information is provided beforehand on the overlap
range  (like, from 0 to 10%), and the tile relative position to other
tiles (as in a grid, to prevent incorrect mismatches).

If you have your images numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and that is 2 rows of 4
images, then all that will be queried for is the estimated overlap range.
