[ITK] Stitching

[Gib Bogle]

Hi all,

This is not really an ITK question, but it's on a topic that will be familiar to many here.  There are several algorithms and programs for stitching together image pieces to create a whole image.  As far as I can tell, these tend to assume that the pieces overlap.  We are exploring a course of action in which a fluorescently-labelled biological sample is cut into slices (e.g. 100 microns thick) in order to image with confocal microscopy.  I have been asked about the feasibility of joining the thick image slices together to reconstitute the whole sample.  The problem, of course, is matching the non-overlapping cut surfaces, since there will be inevitable distortion and loss of information.  I'd like to know of any publications on this kind of stitching.

Thanks
Gib
