Birth of Venus (v2)

nobody@flickr.com (krazydad / jbum) — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:29:22 -0700

This image was constructed from circles, using a process similar to Roger Alsing's genetic Mona Lisa project:

rogeralsing.com/2008/12/07/genetic-programming-evolution-...

Unlike Alsing's project, I'm just using circles, instead of polygons.

I started with 200 random overlapping circles of various tints, and did a million iterations which mutated them in various ways - changing colors, sizes, positions and dropping/adding circles. If a particular set of mutations led to a closer match, this became the new "seed".

This was produced using the Processing language.

This is an updated version of the script that is optimized a bit and produces closer results.

Graffiti Shroud

I combined 200 images of graffiti and normalized the contrast to produce this imaqe. The images were selected from a larger group of 20,000 images, all tagged "graffiti", and all licensed via creative commons. Each of the 200 images contributes an equal amount to the final result (the R,G,B values of each pixel are added together).

Given any large group of uncorrelated images, you can produce just about any image you like, if you choose a subset carefully, using similar techniques as those used to produce a photo mosaic.

Compared to some of the other images I've used (flowers, faces, squared circles, etc.), graffiti works especially well, because the images have fewer correlations, and explore a larger color space.

I'm currently developing a service that will enable people to make interactive Coverpop mosiacs, like this one:

www.coverpop.com/pop/flickr_kittens/

As well as other kinds of composite images, like my "Bronze Shield" images, using Flickr photos.

I'm inviting you to test the service, while it's still in development, so I can get some feedback. You'll find the service is still pretty rough around the edges, but you'll get the basic concept, I hope.

You can try it out here:

flickr.coverpop.com/create/

You can share your finished mosaic images on the Coverpop Flickr Group.
