PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accurately positioning overlapping portions of a plurality of binary images. SOLUTION: First and second binary images are converted into first and second thumbnail grayscale images. Each thumbnail grayscale image is lower in resolution than its corresponding binary image by a scaling factor. Next, a thumbnail transform is calculated between the first thumbnail grayscale image and the second thumbnail grayscale image. Then, a full-size transform is calculated as a function of the thumbnail transform and the scaling factor. Next, the stitched binary image is created by projecting the first binary image onto the second binary image using the full-size transform and combining overlapping portions of the first and second binary images.
