Merging rasters with no overlapping features

Hi @andrewskl,

 

Can I ask why the RasterMosicker doesn't work for you in this case? Could you elaborate a little on what the input pictures are like and how you expect the merged output to look?

 

 

Hi @MattAtSafe, the rasters are part of a Site Diary PDF series showing progress of tasks on site, so don't necessarily have any overlapping features which would join together. I'm looking for the merged output to just be each photo next to each other, maybe with a small gap in between.

 

Thanks

HI @andrewskl,

 

I will echo @takashi's answer here. The trick will be getting the images into the appropriate spots before using the RasterMosaicker. If all of the rasters are the same size the math should be pretty easy to figure out. If they are all a different sizes then the problem becomes more difficult. A good place to start here I think would be to use the BoundsExtractor and BoundingBoxRepalcor. This will give you the corner points of each image (x and y min and max) and should speed up testing the placement and viewing your layout. Here's a screen shot of what I mean. Once you think you have a layout that works then you can remove the BoundingBoxReaplcor for the real run.

Alternatively if you've happy to have them in a vertical list, you might want to think about creating an HTML report. You can use the HTMLReportGenerator for each image and then use the HTMLLayouter to vertically align the images into an HTML file.
