I've never had much luck with [Microsoft ICE]
either.
Multiple attempts to stitch
together scans of large format schematics failed miserably.
I used it a bunch of times on schematics that were larger than the
11x17 scan bed of the scanner I was using. You have to have
sufficient overlap for it to register the features and then *wham* it
just does it.
If you get poor stitching and missing pieces, then scan with more
overlap and use consistent exposure of the scans. If they vary
dramatically in brightness across pieces that need to stitch together,
it won't match them.
I don't have URLs handy, but I've used it a bunch of times for
contributions to bitsavers.
