# Button Mosaic

### Wheat Field with Cypresses - *Vincent van Gogh*

### The Great Wave off Kanagawa - *Hokusai*

### The Scream (1910) - *Edvard Munch*

### [More Results](results/README.md)

## Report

A report describing this work in more detail is available [here](report.pdf).

## Usage

Set the MATLAB working directory to the *source* directory to use the program. The simplest use is then:
```
[mosaic, corrected] = buttonMosaic(image);
```
where the input *image* is the RGB-image that should be reproduced and the outputs *mosaic* and *corrected* are the resulting mosaics with and without color correction. For more advanced use, see [source/examples.m](source/examples.m) and [settings](#settings).

## Settings

The program settings consists of two structs, *circle_packing_settings* and *mosaic_settings*.

| scale                | Scale factor for the mosaic. If the input is 256x512 and *scale* is 2, then the resulting mosaic will be 512x1024.                                                                                |

| similarity_threshold | The program picks the best button match not contained in the button history if it is within this similarity threshold compared to the best button match. This can be used to increase button variety. |
| min_dominant_radius  | Circle radii above or equal to this uses dominant color matching to match buttons. Mean color matching is used for radii smaller than this.                                                       |

### Unique Button Limit
The program has a setting to control the number of unique buttons used in the reproduction, *mosaic_settings.unique_button_limit*. The program picks the most perceptually important buttons needed to reproduce the given reference image using K-means in CIELAB space, similar to Lloyd-Max quantization using the LBG-algorithm.

</div>
<p align="center"><i>Images reproduced with different numbers of unique buttons.</i></p>

### Minimum Radius
The number of total buttons used in the reproduction can also be controlled by changing the minimum circle radius, *circle_packing_settings.min_radius*. The number of total buttons increases quadratically with decreasing minimum radius.

___

The reproduced paintings and photos are all in the public domain, but some of the source images of buttons are licensed under the share-alike license CC BY-NC-SA 2.0. The reproduced images are therefore licensed under:

<https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/>

I've bumped the license to the latest 4.0 version since these are [compatible](https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-considerations/compatible-licenses/) and because this is suggested by CC.
