Abstract :
We present a novel method for the creation of photographic mosaic images using fractals generated via evolutionary techniques. A photomosaic is a rendering of an image performed by placing a grid of smaller images that permit the original image to be visible when viewed from a distance. The problem of selecting the smaller images is a computationally intensive one. In this study we use an evolutionary algorithm to create fractal images on demand to generate tiles of the photomosaic. A number of images and tile resolutions are tested yielding acceptable results.
