Passing ORB Descriptors to the Stitcher Class

I am working on an image stitching project that requires me to use features that I calculate myself. The reason I am doing so is because I am stitching together images of crop fields (taken via drone), each of which look so similar that finding the same descriptors in adjacent images is nearly impossible. My current strategy is to calculate descriptors for the first image, and then tracking those throughout subsequent images using Kanade Lucas Tomasi optical flow estimation. I am using ORB descriptors, and would like to be able to pass in the descriptors calculated using optical flow for subsequent images to the stitcher. Is this possible? Is this method the best for what I am trying to accomplish? Regards, Jacob
