The documentation of the old Stitching plugin collection can be found here: Stitching 2D/3D. read the approximate tile positions from the image metadataĭue to the virtual input stacks and the direct export of the result to disk it is now possible to stitch an arbitrary amount of image tiles with limited RAM resources.support for many different types of grids (row-by-row, column-by-column, snake.time-lapse alignment with different stitching options.open the input images as Virtual Stacks (significantly reduces the RAM requirements).write the stitched image slice-by-slice directly to disk (significantly reduces the RAM requirements).Plase note: this is the new implementation of the Stitching plugin which is finally based on Imglib and supports a lot of new features: To remove brightness differences at the tile borders, non-linear intensity blending can be applied. The stitching is able to align an arbitrary amount of channels and supports timelapse registration. If more than two input images/stacks are used the correct placement of all tiles is determined using a global optimization. The Stitching Plugin (2d-5d) is able to reconstruct big images/stacks from an arbitrary number of tiled input images/stacks, making use of the Fourier Shift Theorem that computes all possible translations (x, y) between two 2d/3d images at once, yielding the best overlap in terms of the cross correlation measure. The physical coordinates provided by the microscope stage are not precise enough to allow reconstruction (”Stitching”) of the whole image from individual image stacks. To overcome this drawback, motorized stages moving the sample are used to create a tiled scan of the whole specimen. Typically those specimen do not fit in the field of view of the microscope. There is an increasing demand to image large biological specimen at high resolution.
