The exercise on image stitching with MATLAB is intended to help students to understand how to merge multiple images taken with a webcam using MATLAB. We used a webcam, mounted on a four-wheeled LEGO vehicle on rails with a single large motor, controlled with MATLAB, to acquire, process and merge multiple images.
The exercise, designed by geoinformatics master student Jonas Räsch, shows the usual workflow during the acquisition of multiple images images with the camera, correct the images for differences in brightness, color and contrast, and finally merging the images to a single picture. We used a high-resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam to get the best possible results.
