3.4 Balancing the mosaic

If your camera is not perfectly stable you will find your assembled mosaic will have a nasty `blocky' appearance as the camera sensitivity varies between sub-images. `nip2` has some functions for fixing this. Select your assembled mosaic, and click on `Task` / `Mosaic` / `Mosaic Balance`. After a few seconds, (to quite a few minutes depending on the size of your mosaic), a new, balanced image should appear, see Figure 3.7. See the VIPS manual page for `im_global_mosaic(3)` for a technical explanation of how automatic balancing works.
