Abstract
A method of image stitching may include: providing a first image and a second image, wherein the first and second images are neighboring and partially overlapping, wherein the first image comprises a first overlap portion that overlaps with a second overlap portion of the second image; applying a seam algorithm to the first overlap portion and the second overlap portion to produce a stitched overlap portion, wherein the seam algorithm uses an error minimization technique to identify a seam for the first and second overlap portions along which data for each of the first and second overlap portions are similar; replacing the first overlap portion of the first image with the stitched overlap portion to produce a modified first image; and replacing the second overlap portion of the second image with the stitched overlap portion to produce a modified second image.
