Re: How to automatically two scanned image tiles

Here the details:
I use an A4 scanner. The source sheets are very big newspaper
pages (much bigger then the A4 plane). Therefore I have to scan
several tiles in order to get a single newspaper page done. I'd
like to feed all those tiles together to some kind of a plugin,
let it recognize the alignment, placement and orientation of
the tiles, and get a single image tile as result. I don't care
about luminosity, colour and fine details. I only need each
newspaper page being rebuilt as a single image file so that at
the end I have a directory filled with a list of files, each
one representing a single newspaper page.

About the best you can hope for is to create a script that
expects file names for each "tile" to correspond to a particular
location in a grid and then to stitch them together. But the
alignment will still be a problem. The GIMP has no way of
knowing that some pixels belong to a line of text or a column of
print or of knowing that one scanned image belongs in the upper
left corner and another in the lower right.

If your scans are not perfectly aligned, it is going to show.
Most likely, you will have to do this manually, unless you can
find a scanner with a big enough bed to accommodate the paper
size.
