Abstract:
We present a novel mosaic stylization method for video which can conserve both temporal and spatial coherence. Based on three traditional mosaic patterns that were commonly used by ancient artists, our system assigns a selected mosaic pattern to segmented regions which conserve traditional mosaic design mechanisms and also effectively preserve spatial information. To preserve temporal coherence, we use update-based tiling approach that minimizes the flickering effect between frames. Using our system, non-professional users can easily generate a series of mosaic images with their own video clips.
