Section 5: Image Stitching

Image stitching is a method of scaling super images that greatly extend beyond the field of view so that they fit within the field of view and can more easily be measured with pattern and other probes. Image stitching is included in manual and CNC encoder-based systems. Image stitching is used to: • Scale and fit large images into the field of view • Use DXF overlays on (scaled) super image parts • Collect (scaled) super images within traditional part programs for use in conjunction with pattern recognition for locating difficult edges and features that vary greatly from part to part

Stitching a Super Image Super images can be stitched using four methods: • Rectangular stitching • Free form stitching • Preset stage stitching
