Abstract

MIST4Cores automates the entire workflow of image stitching for camera-based digitization systems. The software provides reliable stitching with customizable settings and directory monitoring, using overlap analysis and a proven method for scientific stitching. Each module in the software contributes to a robust, reproducible, and user-friendly image stitching. The combination of free open software tools for image acquisition, image stitching, and image analysis creates an open-source ecosystem to promote further dendrochronological research.
