I've taken about an hundered of pictures of a large painting with an iPhone at a distance of about 40cm. For each picture I moved the camera along the painting.

I was thinking to use to build the final assembly. Unfortunately all the possible projections seems to apply only on a sphere not on a rectangle.

How can I automate the assembly of the painting I captured?

What you are looking for is Rectilinear projection. It practice, it is usually hard to get right, since it tends to amplify mis-alignments of individual images.

See for example this tutorial or this one for an example of stitching flat images together.

  • Not sure about your answer Rectilinear is a type of projection for mapping a portion of the surface of a sphere to a flat image. I would like to map a portion of a flat image into a flat image. – nowox Aug 25 '15 at 18:55
  • The description assumes that you took all your pictures from the same point. I guess you moved your phone to remain parallel to the picture. I'll add more info in my answer. – Matthieu Moy Aug 25 '15 at 19:46
  • In my Hugin version (latest), I don't have the same interface as your first tutorial. There is less tabs. – nowox Aug 25 '15 at 20:15

    @nowox, select Interface -> Expert or Interface -> Advanced, and you should see the Control Points, Masks, Optimizer, and Stitcher tabs. – inkista Aug 25 '15 at 20:54

If you are on Windows platform, try Microsoft Image Composite Editor.
It has mode for this kind of stitching and it works quite well.
