A toy project in Rust to generate Photo Mosaic.
- data: photos .png
- data representation
- a) average pixel value per channel
- b) feature extraction via MobileNet-v2 ..?
- nearest neighbor search
- Faiss
- output: generated image in png
- build DB with ingredient pngs & generate feature vectors
- build Faiss Index
- find the nearest image for each small patch of the source image
- generate photo mosaic with the search results
