Abstract
An image processing device may include a memory, and a controller cooperating with the memory for registering images including overlapping portions to define a mosaic image. The controller may also perform an operation on the images to determine features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions, and determine cut lines for the mosaic image based upon the features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions.
Claims18
An image processing device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a controller cooperating with said memory for registering a plurality of images including overlapping portions to define a mosaic image;
- said controller also for
- performing at least one operation on the plurality of images to determine features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions, and
- determining cut lines for the mosaic image based upon the features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions.

An image processing device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a controller cooperating with said memory for registering a plurality of images including overlapping portions to define a mosaic image;
- said controller also for
- performing at least one operation on the plurality of images at a plurality of successively finer resolutions to determine features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions,
- determining cut lines for the mosaic image based upon the features of mutual interest for the overlapping portions, and
- associating the cut lines as metadata with the plurality of images.
