I want to stitch multiple images — let's say nine images — but not to form a panorama, but to form a big square of 9×9 matrix into a single big image.
I want to show both the tall and wide angle view. How to achieve this?
Answer
I've liked to use Microsoft ICE for my stitch jobs. It is quite simple to use, quite automatic in its operations, and it is free :)
I did a quick stitch with some handheld shots covering an area of roughly 2½ x 3 grid of images. Total number of images for this was 11 shots. I was shooting over a high fence with arms stretched straight up. Result is not very nice, but suits here well enough.
1) MS ICE matches the images automatically. Just drop the lot on the working area:
2) Select your camera movement style. Rotating motion works for a grid of images:
Next, click on the cube-like button or select Orientation from Tools menu.
3) Select Projection from a dropdown menu. It is best to test them all. In my case Cylinder-horizontal produced an image I liked most. In the pic below it is still projected as Cylinder-vertical:
4) When satisfied with the looks, set the cropping, JPEG compression, possible thumbnail image if you want one, and scaling percentage.
5) Last thing is to click on Export to disk.
And here's what all this brought to me:
