Mosaic Rendering using Colored Paper

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method of simulating colored paper mosaic using computer graphics technologies. This new method focuses on two problems that need to be taken care of in order to simulate colored paper mosaic. The first one is tile generation and the other one is tile arrangement. To get similar result in real art work, we create colored paper object with simple structure. Then, we generate torn colored paper tile by applying voronoi diagram and others to colored paper object. At last, we come up with result images by arranging torn colored paper tile appropriately according to energy function.
