tiles/
). Make sure they are the same size and w/h ratio*.$ python create_image_pool.py tiles/
to create the tiles database.* use check_images.py
to "weed" out images with different ratios
$ python check_images.py tiles_dir desired_width desired_height weeded_tiles_dir
This will put all images not matching desired_width
and desired_height
into weeded_tiles_dir
so you can fix them later on and re-add them into the image pool.
After running create_image_pool.py
, you can now create mosaics.
$ python photomosaic.py [options] source_image.jpg output_image.jpg tiles_dir
-p RATIO
: Ratio between the tile size and subdivisions of the image. Set to higher numbers for finer details. Use whole numbers only. e.g. A RATIO of 4 would place 4 tiles into 1 subdivision of the image. Default is 1.
-m METHOD, --method=METHOD
: Traversing method. (inside-out
or top-down
) Determines where to start traversing the source image.
-r --repeat
: Allow repeating of tiles
-n --norepeat
: Do not allow repeating of tiles [default]
-t THRESHOLD, --threshold=THRESHOLD
: Threshold value for comparing colors. Default is 0.
-v --verbose
: Verbose output.
-x XSTART, --xStart=XSTART
: X position of where to start matching. For inside-out
method only.
-y YSTART, --yStart=YSTART
: Y position of where to start matching. For inside-out
method only.
