// NAME
//  BlendImages.h -- blend together a set of overlapping images
//
// SPECIFICATION
//  CByteImage BlendImages(CImagePositionV ipv, float blendWidth);
//
// PARAMETERS
//  ipv                 list (vector) of images and their locations
//  blendWidth          half-width of transition region (in pixels)
//
// DESCRIPTION
//  This routine takes a collection of images aligned more or less horizontally
//  and stitches together a mosaic.
//
//  The images can be blended together any way you like, but I would recommend
//  using a soft halfway blend of the kind Steve presented in the first lecture.
//
//  Once you have blended the images together, you should crop the resulting
//  mosaic at the halfway points of the first and last image.  You should also
//  take out any accumulated vertical drift using an affine warp.
//  Lucas-Kanade Taylor series expansion of the registration error.
