<a name="libvips-mosaicing.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
These functions are useful for joining many small images together to make
one large image. They can cope with unstable contrast and arbitary sub-image
layout, but will not do any geometric correction. Geometric errors should
be removed before using these functions.
</p>
<p>
The mosaicing functions can be grouped into layers:
</p>
<p>
The lowest level functions are <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-correl" title="im_correl ()"><code class="function">im_correl()</code></a>, <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-lrmerge" title="im_lrmerge ()"><code class="function">im_lrmerge()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-tbmerge" title="im_tbmerge ()"><code class="function">im_tbmerge()</code></a>.
<a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-correl" title="im_correl ()"><code class="function">im_correl()</code></a>
searches a large image for a small sub-image, returning
the position of the best sub-image match. <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-lrmerge" title="im_lrmerge ()"><code class="function">im_lrmerge()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-tbmerge" title="im_tbmerge ()"><code class="function">im_tbmerge()</code></a>
join two images together
left-right or up-down with a smooth seam.
</p>
<p>
Next, <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-lrmosaic" title="im_lrmosaic ()"><code class="function">im_lrmosaic()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-tbmosaic" title="im_tbmosaic ()"><code class="function">im_tbmosaic()</code></a> use the
search function plus the two low-level merge operations to join two images
given just an approximate overlap as a start point.
</p>
<p>
The functions <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-lrmosaic1" title="im_lrmosaic1 ()"><code class="function">im_lrmosaic1()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-tbmosaic1" title="im_tbmosaic1 ()"><code class="function">im_tbmosaic1()</code></a> are
first-order
analogues of the basic mosaic functions: they take two approximate
tie-points and use
them to rotate and scale the right-hand or bottom image before starting to
join.
</p>
<p>
Finally, <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-global-balance" title="im_global_balance ()"><code class="function">im_global_balance()</code></a> can be used to remove contrast differences in
a mosaic
which has been assembled with these functions. It takes the mosaic apart,
measures image contrast differences along the seams, finds a set of
correction factors which will minimise these differences, and reassembles
the mosaic.
<a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-remosaic" title="im_remosaic ()"><code class="function">im_remosaic()</code></a> uses the
same
techniques, but will reassemble the image from a different set of source
images.

<p>
This operation joins two images left-right (with <em class="parameter"><code>ref</code></em> on the left) with a
smooth seam.
</p>
<p>
If the number of bands differs, one of the images
must have one band. In this case, an n-band image is formed from the
one-band image by joining n copies of the one-band image together, and then
the two n-band images are operated upon.
</p>
<p>
The two input images are cast up to the smallest common type (see table
Smallest common format in
arithmetic).
</p>
<p>
<em class="parameter"><code>dx</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>dy</code></em> give the displacement of <em class="parameter"><code>sec</code></em> relative to <em class="parameter"><code>ref</code></em>, in other words,
the vector to get from the origin of <em class="parameter"><code>sec</code></em> to the origin of <em class="parameter"><code>ref</code></em>, in other
words, <em class="parameter"><code>dx</code></em> will generally be a negative number.
</p>
<p>
<em class="parameter"><code>mwidth</code></em> limits the maximum width of the
blend area. A value of "-1" means "unlimited". The two images are blended
with a raised cosine.
</p>
<p>
Pixels with all bands equal to zero are "transparent", that
is, zero pixels in the overlap area do not contribute to the merge.
This makes it possible to join non-rectangular images.

<a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-global-balance" title="im_global_balance ()"><code class="function">im_global_balance()</code></a> can be used to remove contrast differences in
an assembled mosaic.
</p>
<p>
It reads the History field attached to <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em> and builds a list of the source
images that were used to make the mosaic and the position that each ended
up at in the final image.
</p>
<p>
It opens each of the source images in turn and extracts all parts which
overlap with any of the other images. It finds the average values in the
overlap areas and uses least-mean-square to find a set of correction
factors which will minimise overlap differences. It uses <em class="parameter"><code>gamma</code></em> to
gamma-correct the source images before calculating the factors. A value of
1.0 will stop this.
</p>
<p>
Each of the source images is transformed with the appropriate correction
factor, then the mosaic is reassembled. <em class="parameter"><code>out</code></em> always has the same <span class="type">BandFmt</span>
as <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>. Use <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-global-balancef" title="im_global_balancef ()"><code class="function">im_global_balancef()</code></a> to get float output and avoid clipping.
</p>
<p>
There are some conditions that must be met before this operation can work:
the source images must all be present under the filenames recorded in the
history on <em class="parameter"><code>in</code></em>, and the mosaic must have been built using only operations in
this package.

This operation finds the position of <em class="parameter"><code>sec</code></em> within <em class="parameter"><code>ref</code></em>.
</p>
<p>
The area around
(<em class="parameter"><code>xsec</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>ysec</code></em>) is searched for the best match to the area around (<em class="parameter"><code>xref</code></em>,
<em class="parameter"><code>yref</code></em>). It searches an area of size <em class="parameter"><code>hsearchsize</code></em> for a
match of size <em class="parameter"><code>hwindowsize</code></em>. The position of the best match is
returned, together with the correlation at that point.
</p>
<p>
Only the first band of each image is correlated. <em class="parameter"><code>ref</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>sec</code></em> may be
very large --- the function extracts and generates just the
parts needed. Correlation is done with <a class="link" href="libvips-convolution.html#im-spcor" title="im_spcor ()"><code class="function">im_spcor()</code></a>; the position of

It takes apart the
mosaiced image in and rebuilds it, substituting images.
</p>
<p>
Unlike <a class="link" href="libvips-mosaicing.html#im-global-balance" title="im_global_balance ()"><code class="function">im_global_balance()</code></a>, images are substituted based on their file‐
names. The rightmost occurence of the string <em class="parameter"><code>old_str</code></em> is swapped
for <em class="parameter"><code>new_str</code></em>, that file is opened, and that image substituted for
the old image.
</p>
<p>
It's convenient for multispectral images. You can mosaic one band, then
use that mosaic as a template for mosaicing the others automatically.

This function implements:
</p>
<p>
"Extension of Phase Correlation to Subpixel Registration"
by H. Foroosh, from IEEE trans. Im. Proc. 11(3), 2002.
</p>
<p>
If the best three matches in the correlation are aranged:
</p>
<p>
02 or 01
1 2
</p>
<p>
then we return a subpixel match using the ratio of correlations in the
vertical and horizontal dimension.
</p>
<p>
( xs[0], ys[0] ) is the best integer alignment
( xs[ use_x ], ys[ use_x ] ) is equal in y and (+/-)1 off in x
( xs[ use_y ], ys[ use_y ] ) is equal in x and (+/-)1 off in y
</p>
<p>
Alternatively if the best four matches in the correlation are aranged in
a square:
</p>
<p>
01 or 03 or 02 or 03
32 12 31 21
</p>
<p>
then we return a subpixel match weighting with the sum the two on each
side over the sum of all four, but only if all four of them are very
close to the best, and the fifth is nowhere near.
</p>
<p>
This alternative method is not described by Foroosh, but is often the
case where the match is close to n-and-a-half pixels in both dimensions.
