Stitching Directions
These examples show a part to be inspected that is too large to snap in one image. The camera moves above
the part while a series of images are snapped. These images are then combined into an image list and the
Multiple Image Stitch tool puts them together. The input settings help the tool recreate the camera or part
motion so the input images are stitched together in the correct order.
The first example shows two-image stitches, one in the X and one in the Y direction. The motion arrows
show the camera movement direction. The image numbers indicate the order in which they were snapped
and their order in the image list. Their order in the final stitched image is determined by the tool’s input set-
tings (see “Stitched Image Order Table” on page 3-63).
This figure shows four-image stitching. The camera motion arrows show a serpentine camera movement.
The image numbers indicate the order in which they were snapped and their order in the image list. Their
Stitching Scores A list of the stitching scores for each stitch in the output image.
