be within five pixels on each dimension to help the tool find the correct stitching transformation. For a more
detailed explanation of how the images are stitched based on the inputs, see “Stitching Directions” on
page 3-62.
Input Name What it is
Input Images The list of images to be stitched
Image Count X The number of images in the list in the X direction
Image Count Y The number of images in the list in the Y direction
Image Motion X This is how far the camera or part moves in the x-direction for each suc-
cessive camera snap. (This is calculated as the size of the image minus
the amount of overlap, within five pixels on left and right.) This would be
called the x-pitch if the images were laid onto a rectangular grid. This
value is always positive.
Image Motion Y This is how far the camera or part moves in the y-direction for each suc-
cessive camera snap. (This is calculated as the size of the image minus
the amount of overlap, within five pixels on left and right.) This would be
called the y-pitch if the images were laid onto a rectangular grid. This
value is always positive.
Stitching Threshold This value indicates how well the images must correlate (or match)
where they overlap for the stitching to be completed. A higher value
means that there must be a greater correlation between the overlapping
areas. The value can range from 1 to 100.
Row Major Order Indicates how the images in the list are presented. If True, the images
are presented in rows. If False, the images are presented in columns.
Major Forward Indicates how the images within the major order (rows or columns) are
presented.
If True, they are presented left to right for rows and top to bottom for col-
umns.
If False, they are presented right to left for rows and bottom to top for col-
umns.
For example, if Row Major Order is True, and Major Forward is True,
then the images are presented in rows from top to bottom.
Minor Forward Indicates how the images within the first row or column are presented.
If True, they are presented left to right for rows and top to bottom for col-
umns.
If False, they are presented right to left for rows and bottom to top for col-
umns.
If the Serpentine input is True, this order is alternated for each subse-
quent row or column.
Serpentine If True, the image presentation order alternates direction at the end of
each row or column, after the first row or column (based on the Minor
Forward input). If False, the order does not alternate.
Output Name What it is
Stitch Successful If True, the images were stitched successfully.
