Abstract
A method for automatic merging two images having overlapped parts for a handy scanner. The method starts from defining a meaningful sample in a first image using fuzzy logic. Then, a two level searches based on A* algorithm are executed thereafter to find a match point in the second image. After the match point is found, the two images are stitched together using linear interpolation.
