mosaifyer

🖼️ An image mosaic maker using python's libraries NumPy, scikit-image to create a mosaic output of a given image from small images of flowers.

Hoping to speed up this software to create an API for it for the purpose of adding it to a Discord bot or something!

Past Run Times (2022)

Date	Runtime (s)	Changes
Aug 10	9	Using NumPy vectorization operations with a 5D array
Aug 9	104	Code from Spring '19 that used like 5 nested for-loops

Contribution Guide

1. Fork the repository.
2. Unzip only the images.zip.
3. Set up working env given the requirements.txt file (PyCharm does it automatically).
4. Run numpy_mosaic.py just to make sure that everything is working!
5. Make code ULTRA FAST! And submit a pull request :D

Possible routes to speeding up the app

1. Cache previous color matches values.
2. Reduce the precision by dividing all RGB values by 10: giving us a better chance of utilizing caching.
3. Try getting rid of the nested for-loops at the end of the program when matching images.
