Title
Rendering traditional mosaics
Abstract
This paper discusses the principles of tradi-tional mosaics and describes a technique for implementing a digital mosaicing system. The goal of this work is to transform digital images into traditional mosaic-like render-ings. We achieve this effect by recovering free-form feature curves from the image and laying rows of tiles along these curves. Com-position rules are applied to merge these tiles into an intricate jigsaw that conforms to clas-sical mosaic styles. Mosaic rendering offers the user flexibility over every aspect of this craft, including tile arrangement, shapes, and colors. The result is a system that makes this wonderful craft more flexible and widely ac-cessible than previously possible.
