This header of a bitmap file contains all file information about the bitmap. Without changing any other information in the bitmap. These are not completely random values! These color values are choosen because they can be replaced by other color values inside the bitmap file. The first color has a RGB value of 133,22,111 and the second color has a RGB value of 77,144,188. I've created a bitmap image (dot.bmp) of 128x128 pixels with only 2 colors. This is not the most efficient way to create many images, but it requires little programming experience to understand this process. This step describes how to alter the colors inside a bitmap file using a bash-script. I'll describe the use of a Python script in a next step. There are several ways to create many images with different colors.
These 3 steps describe only the most basic steps. The AndreaMosaic software has a good manual (pdf). This depends on the choosen number of tiles and the size of the image library. This process can take a few seconds to a few hour. The program will create a mosaic as close as possible to the main image. (3) Alter the settings and press the mosaic button to create the mosaic. Select one or more folders with many photos. It is posible to drag multiple images into this window providing batch processing. (1) Drag the main image into the main window.
After choosing the tile size there are only 3 steps left to create a mosaic: Possible choises are square tiles, DSLR tiles, Rectangele tiles and movie tiles. Select the tile type after opening the AndreaMosaic software. These images will be used when converting the main image. It shows how easy it is to create a mosaic. This step explains the basics of the AndreaMosaic software. There is a lot of documentation available for non-programmers and programmers. The software is open source, making it free to use. Python is a programming language and is available for many operating systems. It is a command line tool, which can be used inside Python scripts. And the professional edition ($35) makes it possible to create very large mosaics, up to 500,000 images.įFmpeg is a program to record, convert and stream audio and video. The "Bonus pack" ($10) adds some features, and allows for more images in the library. The Standard (free) version includes all required features to create mosaics, up to 30,000 images. The software is easy to install and there is a manual availabe in six languages ( English, Français, Italiano, Magyar, Español and Deutsch). The software is free for personal and commercial use. The main software used in this Instructable are AndreaMosaic, FFmpeg and Python.ĪndreaMosaic is software to create photographic mosaics using other pictures. Programming is not required, the output of most Python scripts can be downloaded. The Python scripts used are short, but become more difficult during the Instructable. You can skip these sections, unless you want to try certain parts yourself. Some parts of this Instructable are somehow technical. The final step demonstrates how to create an 8K video mosaic, from an existing Youtube video. Using videos to create a mosaic from an image.Extracting images and video clips from videos using AndreaMosaic.Usage of Python to create images and videos.Other download sources: IMDB and the United States Department of Agriculture.Gathering Instructables images and creating the Instructables robot mosaic.This Instructable contains several parts, in a total of 29 steps: For example: The robot's mosaic has been made from downloaded "Featured Instructables" images. I've included this part in this Instructable. This requires some programming and web-scraping technique. The images used in this Instructable are made by means of Python scripts or have been downloaded from the internet. There is a brief introduction about the software used, but this Instructable doesn't replace the manuals. It demonstrates the possibilities of combining different programs, to create photo and video mosaics. The focus is mainly about the combination of technology and creativity. This Instructable is about making photo and video mosaics. A photo mosaic is an image composed of many tiled photos.
