## What it is
A Python package providing fast and robust image stitching to create panoramas, built on OpenCV's stitching module. It offers both a Python API (Stitcher class) and a command-line interface, with a Docker image for easy deployment.

## Use cases
- stitch multiple photos into a panorama
- create panoramic images from overlapping jpgs
- combine drone or camera images into one wide image
- batch stitch images matching a filename pattern
- programmatically stitch images in a Python script
- stitch images in a Docker container without setting up Python

## When to choose
- you need to build panoramas from overlapping images in Python
- you want a CLI for quick stitching without writing code
- you need more control over OpenCV stitching parameters (detector, confidence threshold)
- you want a headless/Docker-friendly stitching solution for servers

## When to avoid
- you need real-time video stitching
- your images have little or no overlap
- you need a GUI-based photo stitching tool
- you work outside the Python/OpenCV ecosystem

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, computer-vision, cli
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing
- platform: python, cross-platform, cli
- tags: image-stitching, panorama, opencv, photography, docker
