Image Mosaic Wall

This application allows you to create an image based on a bunch of other images. It looks like a mosaic effect. But on detail you can check the following video.

Dependencies

  • Qt5.
  • Cmake 3.x.
  • Exiv2 0.27.x API.
  • extra-cmake-modules
  • digiKam 7.x plugin interface. https://www.digikam.org (optional)

Compiling and Installing

  • mdkir build
  • cd build
  • cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. (stand alone version only)
  • cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DENABLE_DPLUGIN .. (stand alone version and digiKam plugin)
  • make
  • make install/fast

TODO's

  • Drag & Drop for a single image
  • a better history algorithm (something like a kernel which checks the neighborhood in (x - n) and (y - n) direction to be unique)
  • floating point precision bug - there is something wrong with some grid resolutions and the output image. It contains blank pixels at the and of the image. But otherwise if I use floating point numbers there are gaps between the mosaic images)
  • TravisCI configuration for building this app for OS X, Linux and maybe Windows?
  • loading indicator for "Load Base Image" & "Set Image Folder"
  • extract Thumbnails from Exif instead down sampling the whole image
