Shameless plug: Here's my take on building images with images. It uses a genetic algorithm. https://github.com/iver56/emoji-art-generator

This is great! Does it have an option to not overlap?

I have a similar non-overlapping project for steam emoji's:

Thanks! No, it doesn't, but I'm happy to accept a pull request for such an option

Took a while to realize it was about graphics and not docker, maybe that's my bad.

I actually thought the same thing. I thought this was a tool to compose Docker images transparently in some way.

I had the same thought. BTW buildah for building docker images without docker.

Ditto, thought this was a guide to multi-stage Docker builds or something.

I did too. BTW Buildah for building docker images without docker.

This looks so cool! The results are great.

The '@'-symbol derived Github logo and the paperclip pie are fantastic. This could easily be used to create high quality logos or t-shirt designs.

Kudos to the author(s).

How neat! Lovely project. I applied it to a gif, an excerpt from the new Joker trailer, and it created what I think is a neat effect.

Tile images, set randomness, build videos with tile images, and do face alignment montages with embedding network:

Doesn't someone have a patent on this? I vaguely remember this at one point.

I remember the same, IIRC it was US6137498A that was referred to. That one seems to describe a pretty specific process for the generation so I don't know how generally it applies.

Wikipedia appears to also list a few other patents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_mosaic#Trademark_...

From the ‘About,’ I thought that it would use various images of different colors.

It does?

As far as I can see, it uses the same image, painting it different colors. I think it would be cooler to mix various images but with the scaling. There are plenty of ‘mosaic’ tools like that, however they mostly use images of the same size, essentially as uniform pixels.

Look at the minecraft tiles example. The readme also describes an extra tool to make differently-colored versions of a single image to feed into the program.

Looks cool. Can someone give an overview of how it works.

OP might be the same person. But, the original creator posted a short explanation here https://www.reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming/comments/d10kcl...

I am not the author. Found it via reddit. The same link you posted.

Seeing Minecraft pixel art always makes me nostalgic

I just thought about building something like this. Will give me some good input. Thank You!

yep. https://github.com/worldveil/photomosaic

Oh i recall that one, buts not a binary install on windows Nd the reqs are to high (from a skill level) for the people i want to give this to....

But thank you!
