# Stitching Pipeline

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 [BL07].
