This program can turn any image into a photo mosaic, which is an image made of lots of small images (tiles) and looks similar to the given image.
It provides a flexibility to choose a trade-off between fast execution (<1 second of tiles searching time) and more precise output image (~1 minute of tiles searching time).
There are three main components, provided as separate applications:
- An application to read tiles from a local path (the images must have same size).
- An application to convert the local dataset into a small tile dataset.
- An application to builds a search index to the local images.
- An application to built index to create photo mosaic for provided image.
Examples of the outputs produced by Photo Mosaic creator:
