You have my rapt attention, but if you wish to speak about stitching segments together edge to edge, why not "quilting"?
Nope. That would make it patchwork. Quilting is the act of sewing a "sandwich" of fabric and filling layers together.

So people who stitch pieces of fabric together to make quilts should be called "fabographers"?

One of the benefits (or detrements) of the English language is that new words are constantly added to the vocabulary. The languge is perfectly capable of incorporating new words all by itself as new words come into common usage. If you were to use these suggested new words and they were to become common practice the language will take care of itself.

Photo stitching is to quilt stitching as photobombing is to carpet bombing.

'Stitch' (or 'stitching') is the only term I know of which indicates combining or joining images while keeping each intact, thus distinguishing the outcome from all the other forms of combining. In addition, by the established usage of the term, it is implied that the stitched images are matching in the way that the two halves of a single image cut in half would match each other at the joining edge.
So, there is the challenge any replacement term would need to meet to be substituted for 'stitch'.

I'll go with Photomerge. Imagomerge would be even better. Why? For me, it's always been Greek vs. Latin, and I took 4 years of Latin in high school.
Seriously, id est quid est - it is what it is. Call it whatever you want.

"Photoraptor" would also be a good name for a band.

We don't need a new term to have to explain to the newbies. There are enough queries every week on The Hog.
