Image Stitching

This script is designed to stitch together a series of images into a single panoramic image.

Input Image

Output Image

Usage

1. Place the images to be stitched in a directory named "images" in the same directory as this script.
2. Run the script using Python (e.g. python script.py).
3. The script will stitch the images together and save the result as "stitchedOutput.png".
4. The script will then apply a series of image processing steps to the stitched image, including:
   • Adding a 10-pixel border to the image.
   • Converting the image to grayscale.
   • Applying binary thresholding to the grayscale image.
   • Finding the contour with the maximum area in the thresholded image.
   • Creating a mask from the contour and eroding it until it disappears.
   • Finding the minimum rectangle that contains the contour.
   • Cropping the stitched image to the minimum rectangle.
5. The final processed image will be saved as "stitchedOutputProcessed.png".

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV library (cv2)
• NumPy library (np)
• imutils library

Notes

• This script assumes that the images to be stitched are in JPEG format and are located in a directory named "images".
• The script uses the OpenCV library to perform the image stitching and processing steps.
• The script uses the imutils library to simplify some of the image processing steps.
• The script is designed to be run from the command line.
