MIE — Align

Align: use matching control points to register the moving image to the reference with Auto, Affine or Perspective transformation. The optional Mesh Warp provides reversible local refinement: alignment points A act as fixed anchors, while W points impose local displacements interpolated across a continuous mesh. Each viewport has independent zoom and pan. In Mesh Warp mode, Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo or redo W corrections without removing the geometric alignment. Reset Mesh returns to the geometric result. Export always preserves the exact dimensions and canvas of the reference image.

MIE — Multispectral Imaging Explorer was conceived and designed by Paolo Tomassini (UCLouvain, F.R.S.–FNRS) for the visual comparison of multispectral and documentary imaging datasets in archaeology and heritage science. The application was developed through iterative human–AI co-design and programming assistance using OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
