What are the practical applications for this tool? Typically stitching images for something like panoramas requires significantly more advanced image processing algorithms because the pixels do not perfectly overlap.

Even in web browsers that support screenshotting an entire page, websites often unload elements that are off-screen. A solution like this can take a bunch of screen-length images and stitch them into a full view of the document.

There are Chrome extensions that do this well already

Thank you for comments! Certainly, this application may not be able to handle any kinds of images. However, I tried to stitch images without using deep-learning. Therefore, the strength of this app is that when this app receives the same images, it always produces consistent results. In the future, I will try to develop a more effective image merging method in more generalized scenario.

Is deep learning state of the art for something like this?

Would have expected it to just be kernel based.

Regardless, you can have fully deterministic deep learning approaches. You can use integers, run on a CPU, and seed everything.
