#Photomosaic Generator

System to generate photomosaics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_mosaic). A complete system that contains not only the image processing/generating functionality, and image indexer to collect images from various public sources online

##Requirements

• Go (https://golang.org/)
• Go resize (https://github.com/nfnt/resize)
• https://bitbucket.org/liamstask/go-imgur
• https://github.com/gedex/go-instagram
• https://github.com/manki/flickgo
• https://github.com/ChimeraCoder/anaconda
• https://github.com/lucasb-eyer/go-colorful

##Usage

• The project will produce two binaries, mosaicgen and indexer. Run indexer to build a collection of images (based on a keyword) to use as sources for the photomosaic. Run mosaicgen /path/to/source/img to produce the photomosaic.

##Examples

Source Image

Tiles Based On Average Colour

Tiles Based on algorithm by Matt Cutts (https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/photo-mosaic-effect-with-go/)

Photomosaic (tile image can be reused)

##TODO

• Try to make it faster
• Implement method to use a tile image only once
