MosaicBuilder

Mosaic made of square image tiles. Each pixel of the input image is replaced by a tile.

Add the .jar file in your project.

Library under development!

Comming soon:

Full multi-thread processing.
DeltaE color difference algorithm.
Better tile placement algorithm, to avoid sequencial repetition.
Graphic interface implementation (for non-programmer users).

Usage

Constructor

MosaicBuilder mosaicBuilder = new MosaicBuilder(tilePath, inputImagePath, tileDimension);

tilePath folder containing tiles.

inputImagePath path of the inputImage.

tileDimen Dimension of the tile. (e.g 50x50, 60x60, 40x40, ...).

Listener(Callback interface)

public interface MosaicBuilderListener{
      public void onMosaicFinished(BufferedImage img);
      public void onProgressChanged(int status);
}

public void onMosaicFinished(BufferedImage img);

is called when final image is done.

public void onProgressChanged(int status);

is called when the progress changes (e.g, init -> loading inputImage to memory).

Progress Status static constants

public static final int READING_INPUT_IMAGE_INTO_MEMORY;
public static final int READING_TILES_INTO_MEMORY;
public static final int SELECTING_TILES;
public static final int BUILDING_OUTPUT_IMAGE;

Exceptions

public class InvalidInputImagePath
public class InvalidOutputImagePath
public class InvalidTileFolderPath

Example

String tilePath = "D:\\SomeFolder\\my_pack_50x50";
String inputImagePath = "D:\\SomeFolder\\inputImage.jpg";
final String finalPath = "D:\\SomeFolder\\outPutImage.png";
int tileDimension = 50;

MosaicBuilder mosaicBuilder = new MosaicBuilder(tilePath, inputImagePath, tileDimension);

mosaicBuilder.setListener(new MosaicBuilder.MosaicBuilderListener() {
   @Override
   public void onMosaicFinished(BufferedImage img) {
       try {
           ImageIO.write(img, "png", new File(finalPath));
       } catch (IOException ex) {
           //TODO
           //Warn user, etc...
       }
   }

   @Override
   public void onProgressChanged(int status) {
       switch (status){
            case MosaicBuilder.BUILDING_OUTPUT_IMAGE:
                System.out.println("Building final image...");
                break;
             case MosaicBuilder.READING_INPUT_IMAGE_INTO_MEMORY:
                System.out.println("Reading input image into memory...");
                break;
             case MosaicBuilder.READING_TILES_INTO_MEMORY:
                System.out.println("Reading tiles into memory...");
                break;
             case MosaicBuilder.SELECTING_TILES:
                System.out.println("Selecting best tiles for each input image's pixel...");
                break;
       }
   }
});

        try{
            mosaicBuilder.build();
        }catch(InvalidInputImagePath e){
            //Show to user that somenthing gone wrong.
            System.out.println("Invalid input path: " + inputImagePath);
        }catch(InvalidTileFolderPath e){
            //Show to user that somenthing gone wrong.
            System.out.println("Invalid tile folder path: " + tilePath);
