Abstract
The complexity of image stitching into a panoramic image is simplified with the use of one or more projectable fiducial marks that ease the establishment of a relationship between adjacent scenes of an image without leaving undesirable fiducial vestiges in the final image. A fiducial generator, having a controllable source of illumination, is positionable to project the fiducial into adjacent and overlapping scenes.
