I have found some basic working examples on stitching via OpenCV for panoramic images. I have also found some useful documentation in the API docs, but I can\'t find out how to
I did some work with the stitching pipeline and though I do not consider myself an expert on the field, I did get better performance (and better results as well) adjusting each step of the pipeline separately. As you can see in the picture, the Stitching class is nothing but a wrapper of this pipeline:
Some interesting parts you can adjust are the resizing steps (there comes a point were more resolution just means more computation time and more inaccurate features), the matching process and (though this is just a guess) giving a good camera parameters instead of performing an estimation. This involves getting the camera parameters before doing the stitching, but it is not really hard. Here you have some reference: OpenCV Camera Calibration and 3D Reconstruction.
Again: I am not an expert, this is just based on my experience as an intern doing some experiments with the library!
