@defgroup stitching Images stitching

This figure illustrates the stitching module pipeline implemented in the Stitcher class. Using that
class it's possible to configure/remove some steps, i.e. adjust the stitching pipeline according to
the particular needs. All building blocks from the pipeline are available in the detail namespace,
one can combine and use them separately.

The implemented stitching pipeline is very similar to the one proposed in @cite BL07 .

![stitching pipeline](StitchingPipeline.jpg)

Camera models
-------------

There are currently 2 camera models implemented in stitching pipeline.

- _Homography model_ expecting perspective transformations between images
  implemented in @ref cv::detail::BestOf2NearestMatcher cv::detail::HomographyBasedEstimator
  cv::detail::BundleAdjusterReproj cv::detail::BundleAdjusterRay
- _Affine model_ expecting affine transformation with 6 DOF or 4 DOF implemented in
  @ref cv::detail::AffineBestOf2NearestMatcher cv::detail::AffineBasedEstimator
  cv::detail::BundleAdjusterAffine cv::detail::BundleAdjusterAffinePartial cv::AffineWarper

Homography model is useful for creating photo panoramas captured by camera,
while affine-based model can be used to stitch scans and object captured by
specialized devices. Use @ref cv::Stitcher::create to get preconfigured pipeline for one
of those models.

@note
Certain detailed settings of @ref cv::Stitcher might not make sense. Especially
you should not mix classes implementing affine model and classes implementing
Homography model, as they work with different transformations.

It's possible to use this class without being aware of the entire stitching pipeline. However, to
be able to achieve higher stitching stability and quality of the final images at least being
familiar with the theory is recommended.
