Hi All -
I just saw the stitching post on the ImageJ blog
(
http://developer.imagej.net/2014/04/07/stitching-fijiij2) and I'm very
excited to see that improvements to Stitching and integration with
ImageJ2 are coming. One question I have is: will this allow stitching
of arbitrarily large images? When last I checked, ImageJ was limited to
images smaller than 2 gigapixels. We have been doing a lot of image
stitching and would like to be able to use the ImageJ stitcher for
scanning whole slides, which requires support for much larger images.
Is this coming and if so is there an estimate of when it might be available?
On a related note, is there likely to be support for image pyramid
schemes for display and visualization of large images? This would be
nice, although it seems like there are other libraries that support
this, so it's not essential.
I have been very impressed with the performance of the stitcher in
ImageJ; we've been using it a lot and I hope to roll out some
Micro-manager plugins to make acquisition of tiled images for stitching
easier, as well as possibly integrating stitching directly (the 10x
speedup just announced makes this a lot more practical).
Also, would this question be more appropriate on the developer list?
Thanks,
Kurt
