Problem description

Create a mosaic. I've had a different idea that turned out not to work (taking averages of corresponding point sets). However it took me a very long time to find that out. In this case of emergency I had to redo most of the things with a conventional stitching algorithm. I did not have time to make sophisticated mosaics. Instead, I tried to get the Laplacian Pyramid right. .

Mosaics

I took all pictures without any tripod or anything similar. Just with my shaky hands! A simple average.

Laplacian Pyramid

I implemented the laplacian pyramid but got almost the same results as feathering. the avenue with distance feathering (don't add up to one)
