Summary

Introduce the Stitching node for combining multiple synchronized image streams
into a single output image.

The node runs on the host by default and can run on RVC4 by calling
setRunOnHost(false).

Features

  • Accept a configurable number of image inputs.
  • Synchronize inputs through an internal Sync node.
  • Support two stitching modes:
    • Panorama stitching based on overlapping image content.
    • Calibration-aware planar projection onto a configurable plane.
  • Support spherical, cylindrical, and pinhole panorama camera models.
  • Support continuous registration or selecting the best transform from several
    estimation frames.
  • Configure panorama confidence, seam finding, and maximum output dimensions.
  • Configure planar projection plane, virtual camera, range, view size, and
    minimum incidence angle.
  • Preserve image metadata and transformations on stitched output.
  • Support host execution with OpenCV.
  • Support device execution on RVC4 through setRunOnHost(false).
  • Make all device configuration and dynamic input information serializable.
  • Keep the device-facing API available in builds without host OpenCV support.
  • Reject device execution on platforms other than RVC4.

Examples

Add Python examples for:

  • Panorama stitching.
  • Planar projection stitching.

Testing

Add coverage for:

  • Panorama registration and composition.
  • Continuous and fixed-transform operation.
  • Candidate selection and panorama size limits.
  • Planar projection geometry and validation.
  • Property serialization and firmware deserialization.
  • Dynamic input reconstruction.
  • RVC4-only device execution.
  • Builds without host OpenCV support.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

  • Added an experimental stitching node for creating panoramas and planar projections from multiple camera feeds.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds the beta Stitching node for panorama and planar projection modes, with OpenCV host processing, RVC4 device support, serialized configuration, Python bindings, examples, build integration, and extensive tests.

Changes

Stitching pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stitching API and configuration
include/depthai/beta/..., src/beta/node/Stitching.cpp, include/depthai/utility/Pimpl.hpp
Adds the public node API, serializable properties, synchronization, configuration validation, platform checks, and const Pimpl access.
OpenCV panorama execution
src/beta/node/host/Stitching.cpp, src/beta/node/host/FixedPanoramaCompositor.*, src/beta/node/host/StitchingCompositing.hpp
Adds panorama registration, candidate selection, transform reuse, compositing, seam finding, blending, and stitched-frame output.
Planar projection execution
src/beta/node/host/PlanarStitcher.*, src/beta/node/host/Stitching.cpp
Adds calibrated plane projection, automatic and explicit virtual views, remapping, validation, blending, and metadata propagation.
Python access and examples
bindings/python/..., examples/python/HostNodes/stitching_*
Registers the beta Python API, adds namespace coverage, and provides panorama and planar-projection examples.
Build selection and validation
CMakeLists.txt, tests/CMakeLists.txt, tests/src/onhost_tests/pipeline/node/*stitching*
Adds OpenCV feature detection and fallback compilation, target linking, test registration, and coverage for device, panorama, and planar behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b5c0c

The stitching node can currently stop processing on some per-frame input errors and may produce incorrect stitched images when camera transformations change, while configuration updates can fail to take effect or create inefficient output bounds. These correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@CMakeLists.txt`:
- Line 204: Separate opencv_stitching from REQUIRED_OPENCV_LIBRARIES so the
remaining OpenCV modules can enable core support independently. Update the CMake
source-selection logic for host/Stitching.cpp and host/PlanarStitcher.cpp to
require the stitching module, and select StitchingNoOpenCV.cpp when it is
unavailable.

In `@src/pipeline/node/host/PlanarStitcher.cpp`:
- Around line 152-159: Restructure prepare() to process transformations one
input at a time: allocate only that input’s maps and validity matrices, derive
its roi, mask, and converted maps, then release them before advancing. Move the
input iteration outside the pixel loops while preserving existing output
behavior, and parallelize each per-input row-range pixel pass with
cv::parallel_for_ where safe.
- Around line 129-137: Update the camera-orientation logic around signedDistance
in PlanarStitcher to evaluate each pose center individually rather than summing
signed distances. Require every camera to lie strictly on the same nonzero side
of the plane; reject cameras on the plane and configurations with cameras on
opposite sides using an appropriate diagnostic, then orient planeNormal
consistently while preserving the existing projection flow.
- Around line 269-289: Update the border-ray handling in the view-bound
computation around planeNormal and point so cameras facing away from the plane
do not expand minU/maxU/minV/maxV. Only use a projected intersection when the
ray intersects the plane in front of the camera; clamp valid forward
intersections beyond config.maxRange to the maximum range, while excluding rays
that miss the plane or point behind the camera. Remove or correctly reuse
minIncidenceSine as needed, and ensure prepare() rejects unsupported away-facing
cameras with a clear message if they cannot be handled.
- Around line 358-368: Update prepare() to discard non-empty source ROIs whose
scaled width or height would round to zero before they reach seam estimation. In
the seam-image preparation loop, also clamp the computed resize dimensions to at
least one pixel before calling cv::resize, preserving valid sources while
preventing zero-sized destinations.

In `@src/pipeline/node/host/Stitching.cpp`:
- Around line 239-241: Update the input lookup in the loop over inputNames
before the DAI_CHECK_V call: use a non-throwing lookup, validate that the entry
exists with the existing check, then cast the retrieved value to ImgFrame and
retain the current validation. Avoid group->group.at(name) so missing keys are
reported through DAI_CHECK_V instead of throwing.
- Around line 152-153: Restrict wave correction configuration in the stitcher
setup to spherical and cylindrical camera models, and leave it disabled for
pinhole models; update the logic around setWaveCorrection and setWaveCorrectKind
while preserving the existing horizontal correction setting for the supported
models.
- Around line 208-213: Make Stitching::invalidateHostState() only request
invalidation through a thread-safe flag, and have Stitching::run() consume that
request at the start of each iteration before using Impl, avoiding direct
cross-thread mutation during compositing. Initialize impl in buildInternal()
instead of run() so its assignment is complete before user-thread invalidation
can occur, and snapshot properties once per iteration to prevent concurrent
property reads while preserving resetTransform() rebuild behavior.
- Around line 252-273: Extend the exception handling around the planar
operations in the PLANAR_PROJECTION branch of Stitching::run to catch the
DepthAI/standard exception type raised by DAI_CHECK_V, alongside cv::Exception,
and drop the current group after resetting impl->planar. Preserve fatal
propagation for configuration errors such as a missing plane; only recover from
transient per-group input failures.

In `@src/pipeline/node/host/StitchingCompositing.hpp`:
- Around line 78-86: Clamp the band count passed by createBlender to at least 1
before calling MultiBandBlender::setNumBands, including for blendWidth values in
[1, 2). Add the required algorithm header for std::max while preserving the
existing band calculation.
- Around line 29-31: Update the OpenCV dependency check associated with
createFeaturesFinder to require OpenCV version 4.4 or newer, ensuring cv::SIFT
is available while preserving the existing feature finder implementation.

In `@src/pipeline/node/Stitching.cpp`:
- Around line 100-106: Update Stitching::build(const std::vector<Node::Output*>&
sources) to validate every source pointer before calling build(sources.size()).
Preserve the existing null-check message and only build and link inputs after
all sources are confirmed non-null, preventing partial construction on invalid
input.

In `@tests/src/onhost_tests/pipeline/node/planar_stitching_node_test.cpp`:
- Around line 300-304: Update the automatic-view test around makePlanarNode to
use the node’s configured maximum view size: either explicitly configure the
maximum there or replace the hard-coded 1920 upper-bound assertions with
stitching->getMaxViewSize(). Keep the existing minimum-size checks and ensure
both width and height validate against the applied limit.

In `@tests/src/onhost_tests/pipeline/node/stitching_device_node_test.cpp`:
- Around line 12-23: Extend the “Stitching accepts deserialized properties” test
to verify that the restored node contains dynamic inputs named input0 and
input1, in addition to checking getNumInputs(). Use the Stitching node’s inputs
collection and preserve the existing property assertions.

In `@tests/src/onhost_tests/pipeline/node/stitching_node_test.cpp`:
- Around line 78-84: Replace each unbounded Stitching output read with the
timeout overload and assert REQUIRE_FALSE(timedOut) before using the frame.
Apply this in tests/src/onhost_tests/pipeline/node/stitching_node_test.cpp at
lines 78-84, 153, 197, 248, and 250, and in

Learning: Do not flag the `!= ""` part of the auto-calibration condition as redundant when it appears in `PipelineImpl::build()` (or closely related pipeline build logic). If the code uses `utility::getEnvAs<std::string>(..., default)` with a default such as `"ON_START"`, the explicit empty-string guard may still be intentional to treat an explicitly empty env var as “OFF/disabled” (or to avoid special-casing elsewhere). Only consider removing `!= ""` if the codebase has an explicit, enforceable guarantee that `DEPTHAI_AUTOCALIBRATION` can never be set to an empty string (e.g., via validated parsing/CI checks); otherwise, keep the guard.

Prefer leaving the backend as the default, or comment out the GPU backend selection and add a clear note explaining it is RVC4-only support (so the example won’t fail or mislead on RVC2).

331-385: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

DAI_CHECK_V failures from the fixed compositor escape the panorama catch block.

The panorama branch now calls FixedPanoramaCompositor::prepare() (line 372) and FixedPanoramaCompositor::compose() (lines 338 and 373). Both report failures with DAI_CHECK_V, which throws a standard exception, not cv::Exception. The catch at line 382 only handles cv::Exception, so those failures propagate out of run() and terminate the node thread.

Two of these conditions are per-group input problems, not configuration errors:

  • FixedPanoramaCompositor.cpp line 97: "Panorama input {} changed its size". One input that changes resolution permanently stops stitching.
  • FixedPanoramaCompositor.cpp line 59: "Panorama input {} is empty".

An earlier review raised the same narrow-catch pattern for the Mode::PLANAR_PROJECTION branch. The panorama branch now has its own throwing dependency, so it needs the same handling: catch the standard exception type, reset the fixed composition state, and drop the group so registration restarts.

🛡️ Proposed handling
         } catch(const cv::Exception& e) {
             if(logger) logger->warn("Stitching failed: {}", e.what());
             continue;
+        } catch(const std::exception& e) {
+            if(logger) logger->warn("Panorama composition failed: {}", e.what());
+            impl->fixedPanorama.reset();
+            impl->transformFixed = false;
+            continue;
         }

Reset transformFixed together with the compositor, so the next group re-runs estimation instead of calling compose() on an unprepared compositor.

Learning: Do not flag the `!= ""` part of the auto-calibration condition as redundant when it appears in `PipelineImpl::build()` (or closely related pipeline build logic). If the code uses `utility::getEnvAs<std::string>(..., default)` with a default such as `"ON_START"`, the explicit empty-string guard may still be intentional to treat an explicitly empty env var as “OFF/disabled” (or to avoid special-casing elsewhere). Only consider removing `!= ""` if the codebase has an explicit, enforceable guarantee that `DEPTHAI_AUTOCALIBRATION` can never be set to an empty string (e.g., via validated parsing/CI checks); otherwise, keep the guard.

237-238: The blocking output read remains unresolved.

output->get<dai::ImgFrame>() can wait forever if Stitching::run() fails or emits no frame. Replace it with the timeout overload and assert the timeout flag before using panorama. This is the same issue reported in the previous review.

If we are not certain on the API for this node I would prefer to have it in the beta namespace, where all the new parsers are. In this case we can have it out in the next release of dai. Thoughts @CenekAlbl ?

291-310: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude border rays below the configured incidence angle.

prepare() rejects a point when its incidence is below config.minIncidenceAngle at Lines [202-203]. computeView() currently includes every forward border-ray intersection in the automatic extents.

A shallow border ray can therefore expand the view even though the source will not paint that region. This can create blank bands and force a larger, lower-resolution view. Apply the same incidence test before updating minU, maxU, minV, and maxV.

Reject view dimensions above INT_MAX.

VirtualCamera dimensions and automatic-view limits are uint32_t, but prepare() and compose() cast them to int for OpenCV. Validate explicit dimensions and maxViewWidth/maxViewHeight against std::numeric_limits<int>::max() in setConfig().

Reject or rebuild when input transformations change.

prepare() caches maps, seams, and gains from each full ImgTransformation, but validateTransformations() checks only the input count and common origin. A later group with changed pose, intrinsics, distortion, image size, or masks is accepted and produces incorrect output with stale state. Compare each transformation with the prepared one using isEqualTransformation(), then reset and reprepare on mismatch, or enforce and test the fixed-geometry contract.

203-208: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate cached panorama state after changing the size limit.

setMaxPanoramaSize() changes properties.maxPanoramaWidth and properties.maxPanoramaHeight, but it does not call invalidateHostState(). If the panorama transform is already fixed, host execution continues to reuse the cached compositor and does not apply the new limit.

Add invalidateHostState() after updating both properties.

Proposed change
     properties.maxPanoramaWidth = width;
     properties.maxPanoramaHeight = height;
+    invalidateHostState();

Verify the fixed-geometry input contract.

The planar implementation intentionally reuses maps after the first group. Confirm that upstream producers keep each input's intrinsics, extrinsics, image size, and destination mask stable across synchronized groups. If they do not, validateTransformations() must trigger a rebuild.
