Select the blend type with any radio button of the Blend type field. Gradual Blend by gradually changing the entire overlapped area to make the images seamless. Half Blend by using the average of each pixel of the overlapped area. Steep Blend by changing the entire overlapped area to make the images seamless. The degree of the change is higher than Gradual. None No blend. Images are composed in the level of images.

{ Background Color Specify the color of the background of the panorama composite image. Clicking the button displays the Color Setting dialog box. Select the background color and click the OK button.

Lens calibration tab Fundus images captured by a fundus camera tend to distort, especially in the perimeter due to lens distortion. Thus, the perimeter of a panorama composite may not be correctly formed due to the lens distortion. The panorama software calibrates the lens distortion at the time of mask extraction.

Lens distortion A barrel distortion or a pincushion distortion occurs on images captured through a lens.

Barrel distortion

Pin-cushion distortion

In general, a barrel distortion occurs on fundus images captured via a fundus camera.

{ Output rect type The image extracting method can be selected after the lens distortion is corrected. Select the extracting method with any radio button of the Output rect type field. Outer rect The image is extracted in the circumscribed rectangle after being corrected. The unproductive area is filled in the specified color (“{ Background Color (Page 199)”) * When of mask extraction, the unproductive area is automatically removed.

Inner rect The image is extracted in the inscribed rectangle after being corrected. In contrast to Outer Rect, the unproductive area is not included so mask extraction is easy. However, part of the productive area may be discarded. * Select this type only when there is no problem with discarding the periphery of the image.

Source rect The image is extracted in the original size after being corrected. After the barrel distortion is corrected, an unproductive area is produced. Since the image size becomes larger than the original size, use this type for lightening the load on image processing due to size enlargement. * Select this type only when there is no problem with discarding the periphery of the image. (The discarded area becomes larger than Inner Rect.)

Source rect (Stretch) The image is extracted in the circumscribed rectangle after being corrected, and then reduced to the original size. After the barrel distortion is corrected, an unproductive area is produced. Since the image size becomes larger than the original size, use this type for lightening the load on image processing due to size enlargement. * When of mask extraction, the unproductive area is automatically removed.

{ Parameter Adjust the calibration degree by specifying the correction factor to calibrate the lens distortion. This parameter is set by dragging the slider to the left or right. This parameter is set from -100 to +100. The degree to correct a barrel distortion increases when the parameter is set close to -100. The degree to correct a pincushion distortion increases when the parameter is set close to +100. * When the correction factor is set to 0, no calibration will be made.

{ Background Color The background color of the unproductive area produced after lens calibration is performed can be specified.

Mask pattern Specify a prepared fundus area pattern and extract the fundus area. Click the button to select the mask pattern from the drop-down list. * The fundus area can not be extracted when the resolution pattern is different with that of the extracted image.

Mask by luminosity is performed Extract the fundus area by the luminosity of the fundus image. When fundus area extraction does not succeed (the fundus area is discarded or the periphery of the image remains), adjust the tolerance level (mask level) of luminosity. • When the fundus area is discarded, increase the mask level. • When the periphery of the image remains, decrease the mask level. * The mask level is selectable from zero to ten.
