Image Stitching Capabilities

[hathawayj]

I can see from the opencv docs and this python example and anotherhttps://kushalvyas.github.io/stitching.html) that there is a way to use opencv to stitch images. The documentation is a little limited for Rvision. We are still working on getting opencv installed correctly.

@hathawayj The cv::Stitcher API has not been implemented in Rvision yet. I'm not sure when/if I'll find the time to do it.

Same thing for the documentation. I'm working on it whenever I find the time, which hasn't been very often lately. However you should not need to install opencv yourself if you follow the installation instructions here: https://swarm-lab.github.io/Rvision/articles/install.html.

I got opencv to install with your package. Thanks! If you had to guess on implementation time required for the stitcher api where would you ballpark it? What if I could find a student that could work on this as his senior project?

We are trying to find an R centric method to stitch drone images of areal photography of farms.

Thanks for the quick reply.

@hathawayj I prefer not to give a time estimate. There is so much to do and I prioritize implementing the base functions over higher level APIs. External contributions are always welcome. Just submit (or have your student submit) PRs and I'll review and integrate them as soon as I can.

I understand the time estimate problem. Will get back to you.
