Stitching of Microscope Images

The larger the magnification of a microscope, the smaller its field of view. Consider two microscope images:

In[1]:=

imgs=

,

;

To stitch images together and obtain the entire image of a larger specimen, start by using

to align and identify the overlap of two images:

In[2]:=

bounds=BorderDimensions[ImageAlign[imgs〚1〛,imgs〚2〛,Method"Fourier",TransformationClass"Translation"]]

Out[2]=

{{271,0},{0,17}}

Compose the two overlapping images:

In[3]:=

stitched=RemoveBackground@ImageCompose[ImagePad[imgs〚1〛,Map[Reverse,bounds],White],ImagePad[SetAlphaChannel[imgs〚2〛],bounds,Transparent]]

Out[3]=

Use

to automatically compose the images:

In[4]:=

ImageStitch[imgs]

Out[4]=
