A new approach to medical image stitching using minimum average correlation energy filter and peak to side-lobe ratio
Standard X-ray images using conventional screen-film technique have a limited field of view and failed to visualize the entire long bone on a single image. To produce images with whole body parts, digitized images from the films that contain portions of the body parts are assembled using image stitc...
