What is jnMosaic?

jnMosaic is a program to generate mosaics of an image out of other images.
The scene is splitted into a quad tree and the program searches the best fitting image for every leaf of the quadtree, from a given image collection.

Users can adjust the following settings:

  • scene image
  • source images
  • minimum and maximum size of the squares
  • maximum color difference within a square
  • blend over factor of the scene
  • scaling of the mosaic pieces
  • maximum random rotation of the mosaic pieces
  • scale of the mosaic
  • fast or quality scaling

Mosaic examples

Spring

Installation

To install jnMosaic you only have to unzip the jnMosaic.zip.
Double-clicking on jnMosaic_en.bat will start the program in English. You can also run the German Version by double-clicking on jnMosaic_de.bat.
Windows users can launch the *_win.bat files to start the program without a command line window.

System requirements

I tested the program only on Windows XP but it should work on every operating system with Java-support.

  • Java Runtime 1.5 or higher
  • 256 MB RAM
  • 1 GHz processor
  • 50 KB hard disk space ;-)

Language

jnMosaic is available in English and German.
If you want to translate it you should have a look in the language-folder, where you find the English and German translation files. Copy one of these files, translate it and change the first launching argument to the filename of your new translation.
I would appreciate if you could send me your translation file.
