Hello,
a friend of mine wrote this program and maybe it is useful to some of
you. It is a free (GPL2-licenced) software package for stitching
pictures. The GUI is far from perfect, but is working well and (IMHO)
effective.

"Suppose you want to analyse an object with your microscope which is
much too big for one photo. Several programs offer to arrange charts to
one overall picture. But very often those programs are not accurate
enough (they may change scaling / orientation) and configuration is
limited. These programs are not specialized for processing microscope
pictures. That was the reason for me to develop my own microscope
picture stitching program
MiPiSti is designed for this purpose only. The idea is (already working
with bmp-files) that you have a sequence of (pairwise) overlapping
pictures (see figure 1).
MiPiSti works in 2 steps. In the first mipisti calculates the offset
position of each picture and its successor in the sequence of pictures.
In the second step those offsets are used to put all pictures into one
overall picture. It is planned, that image correction (lens errors
(dust...) inhomogeneous illumination) will be done in this step as well
(see task-tracker for details).
Basic functions work stable. The command line program ("bmp" or "fast")
can calculate offsets and stitch a sequence of bmp-files as well as
putting an scaling into the picture. There are scripts available to do
automatic stitching. A first GUI is finished. It is called adjust.tcl in
the download area. You need Tcl/Tk interpreter to run it - I will wrap
it into a single executable soon.
See BUG- and Task-tracker for current limitations.
I've used this program with more than 200 particular pictures of
640x400x24 RGB, without problems. "
Ciao,
Bernd
