Mozaic and Blending

The left image is affected by sunlight when it was taken. But, it gives interesting result.

Custom Road sign

Instead of having my family picture on the road sign, how about my dog on the road sign...

Wow, video screen on Newell-Simon Bridge!?

Let's display a video on one of the window in the Newell-Simon bridge. The original video can be found here.

Target

Video on the window! Click on the image below (640x480, 12 fps, AVI) - Pyramid Blending level 2
"Save as" the file before playing, since sometimes media player complains about the video for some reason...

 

Hand of Eye of Flame

It seems that hands with eyes on them are pretty popular. Let's add another one into the collection, but now it's an artificial eye!

Sources: a hand, the eye, and the mask for the eye

The hand of eye of flame created! - Pyramid Blending level 5

 

Pattern Blending

These 2 patterns are taken from the lecture notes. They blend really well.

Landscape Blending

The following two landscapes have nothing to do with each other... But guess what happen when we blend them?

Original

Vertical Blending - Pyramid level 5 - the center portion somehow matches each other pretty well!

Horizontal Blending - Pyramid level 5 - as if the 2 landscapes were of the same scene but in different time...


Pyramid Blending and Mozaicing are so powerful that we are able to generate interesting effects on original pictures!
All of the input images (small and full sizes) can be found here. All result images can be found here.
