stitch multiple microscope images using python
I'm trying to stitch a scan of a large area made using a microscope but I'm not having a whole lot of luck.
I started testing with 3 images extracted from a scanning video.
I stitched each 2 matching images but when I want to combine the 2 new composite images it looks very warped.
Does anyone know a decent way to stitch multiple images scanning a surface by changing the perspective but not the angle of view? I've only found ways that assume that the perspective remains constant and you are just rotating around that
Alternative to this problem: is it possible to align images using keypoints without warping?
edit: I've got it working now without any distortions but does anyone know a way to merge images while ignoring black? I want to get rid of these black lines beneath the image.
Edit: Problem solved.

Nice job. Have you by chance open sourced the code you have accomplished this with?

It's a bit messy but I can give you a copy if you want

That would be great. How would you prefer to share the copy?

It's messy code but it works....we.tl/t-whtVSIWRFc My boss has the full version as an exe but I can't find the code for it anymore. I simply had opencv create a border around each strip that cut slightly into the image itself and removed everything outside of that. After that I had it overlay the strips and allowed for some manual adjustments (no deformations since that would cause major distortions due to the time difference between measuring each strip)

There are some minor distortions in each strip but they are very minor according to my measurements.
