+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
40
+
41
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
43
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
44
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
45
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
83
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a

+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
86
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses

+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
88
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.

90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
110
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
111
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
112
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
113
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
114
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
115
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
116
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
117
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
118
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
119
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
120
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
125
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
127
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
128
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

36
+ # PRIMO: Panoramic Reconstruction with Integrated Microscopy-Specific Optimization
37
+
38
+ Python library and command-line tool for stitching a set of overlapping tiles
39
+ into a single 2D panorama.
40
+
41
+ ## Installation
42
+
43
+ ```bash
44
+ pip install primo-stitch
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ - Python 3.10–3.14.
48
+ - If you use a GPU, make sure you have a CUDA-enabled PyTorch
49
+ ([pytorch.org](https://pytorch.org)).
50
+ - Model weights are downloaded on the first run — internet access is required.
51
+
52
+ ## Command-line usage
53
+
54
+ `primo-stitch` is the main entry point.
55
+
56
+ ```bash
57
+ # minimal — stitch a folder of tiles into a panorama
58
+ primo-stitch --tile_dir path/to/tiles --output_file panorama.jpg
59
+
60
+ # advanced
61
+ primo-stitch \
62
+ --tile_dir path/to/tiles \
63
+ --output_file panorama.png \
64
+ --matcher "efficient loftr" \
65
+ --device cuda:0 \
66
+ --blending_mode full \
67
+ --inference_size 0.5 \
68
+ --batch_size 8 \
69
+ --logfile run.log
70
+ ```
71
+
72
+ ### Options
73
+
74
+ | Flag | Default | Description |
75
+ |---|---|---|
76
+ | `--tile_dir` | *(required)* | Directory with the input tiles |
77
+ | `--output_file` | `panorama.jpg` | Output panorama path (extension may be adjusted, e.g. `.png` when alpha is saved) |
78
+ | `--cache_dir` | `.cache/` | Directory for intermediate results (created automatically, cleaned up after the run) |
79
+ | `--matcher` | `xfeat` | `xfeat` \| `efficient loftr` \| `loftr` |
80
+ | `--device` | `cpu` | `cpu`, `cuda`, `cuda:0`, ... |
81
+ | `--blending_mode` | `full` | `collage` — fast paste-over, no correction; `mosaic` — photocorrection + hard seams, no blending; `full` — photocorrection + seams + multiband blending |
82
+ | `--inference_size` | `0.3` | Matcher input scale relative to the original (`0.25`, `0.5`, `1`, ...) |
83
+ | `--batch_size` | `1` | Matcher batch size (higher = faster, more memory) |
84
+ | `--save_alpha_channel` / `--no-save_alpha_channel` | off | Save the transparency channel; forces `.png` output in `full` mode |
85
+ | `--logfile` | *(none)* | Write a debug log to this file |
86
+
87
+ ## Python API
88
+
89
+ ```python
90
+ from primo import Matcher, Stitcher
91
+
92
+ matcher = Matcher(
93
+ model='xfeat', # 'xfeat' | 'efficient loftr' | 'loftr'
94
+ device='cuda:0', # or 'cpu'
95
+ inference_size=0.5,
96
+ batch_size=8,
97
+ )
98

+ # PRIMO: Panoramic Reconstruction with Integrated Microscopy-Specific Optimization
2
+
3
+ Python library and command-line tool for stitching a set of overlapping tiles
4
+ into a single 2D panorama.
5
+
6
+ ## Installation
7
+
8
+ ```bash
9
+ pip install primo-stitch
10
+ ```
11
+
12
+ - Python 3.10–3.14.
13
+ - If you use a GPU, make sure you have a CUDA-enabled PyTorch
14
+ ([pytorch.org](https://pytorch.org)).
15
+ - Model weights are downloaded on the first run — internet access is required.
16
+
17
+ ## Command-line usage
18
+
19
+ `primo-stitch` is the main entry point.
20
+
21
+ ```bash
22
+ # minimal — stitch a folder of tiles into a panorama
23
+ primo-stitch --tile_dir path/to/tiles --output_file panorama.jpg
24
+
25
+ # advanced
26
+ primo-stitch \
27
+ --tile_dir path/to/tiles \
28
+ --output_file panorama.png \
29
+ --matcher "efficient loftr" \
30
+ --device cuda:0 \
31
+ --blending_mode full \
32
+ --inference_size 0.5 \
33
+ --batch_size 8 \
34
+ --logfile run.log
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ### Options
38
+
39
+ | Flag | Default | Description |
40
+ |---|---|---|
41
+ | `--tile_dir` | *(required)* | Directory with the input tiles |
42
+ | `--output_file` | `panorama.jpg` | Output panorama path (extension may be adjusted, e.g. `.png` when alpha is saved) |
43
+ | `--cache_dir` | `.cache/` | Directory for intermediate results (created automatically, cleaned up after the run) |
44
+ | `--matcher` | `xfeat` | `xfeat` \| `efficient loftr` \| `loftr` |
45
+ | `--device` | `cpu` | `cpu`, `cuda`, `cuda:0`, ... |
46
+ | `--blending_mode` | `full` | `collage` — fast paste-over, no correction; `mosaic` — photocorrection + hard seams, no blending; `full` — photocorrection + seams + multiband blending |
47
+ | `--inference_size` | `0.3` | Matcher input scale relative to the original (`0.25`, `0.5`, `1`, ...) |
48
+ | `--batch_size` | `1` | Matcher batch size (higher = faster, more memory) |
49
+ | `--save_alpha_channel` / `--no-save_alpha_channel` | off | Save the transparency channel; forces `.png` output in `full` mode |
50
+ | `--logfile` | *(none)* | Write a debug log to this file |
51
+
52
+ ## Python API
53
+
54
+ ```python
55
+ from primo import Matcher, Stitcher
56
+
57
+ matcher = Matcher(
58
+ model='xfeat', # 'xfeat' | 'efficient loftr' | 'loftr'
59
+ device='cuda:0', # or 'cpu'
60
+ inference_size=0.5,
61
+ batch_size=8,
62
+ )
63
+
64
+ # the alignment device is taken from the matcher
65
+ stitcher = Stitcher(
66
+ matcher,
67
+ blending_mode='full', # 'collage' | 'mosaic' | 'full'
68
+ )
69
+
70
+ stitcher.stitch(
71
+ input_dir='path/to/tiles',
72
+ output_file='panorama.jpg',
73
+ )
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ `Matcher` and `Stitcher` expose additional keyword arguments (alignment,
77
+ photometric correction, blending) — see their signatures for the full set.
